Abstract
This Letter demonstrates the successful use of free-space optics (FSO) as a transition channel for an air segment in transmitting Raman backscattering signals for distributed temperature sensing (DTS). A barrier-free air segment link shaped by an FSO is part of the Raman-based DTS (RDTS) fiber optic transmission route. For this plan, the FSO enables delivery of the RDTS's pulse with the low-loss transmission over the air segment while also returning to the RDTS the varied Raman backscattered signals from the probing temperature variations for signal interpretation. The difference between various temperatures sensed and the referential air temperature remains nearly the same before and after passing the FSO. The viability of this technology provides a crucial basis for tackling the high expense of installing and repairing DTS cables and the challenges associated with doing so owing to topographical restrictions.
