Abstract

Distributions of a Brillouin frequency shift and a Rayleigh frequency shift in optical fibers set up in a material are measured from scattered waves of pulse laser light entered into the optical fibers, and distributions of pressure, temperature, and strain of the material along the optical fibers at a measurement time point are analyzed using coefficients that are inherent to the set up optical fibers and correlate pressure, temperature, and strain of material with the Brillouin frequency shift and the Rayleigh frequency shift.
