Abstract
The authors propose a novel source for distributed anti-Stokes Raman t emperature sensing. A source generating 8W, 10ns pulses at 500Hz, at l ambda = 1.64 mu m is demonstrated. Operation at 1.64 mu n enables the temperature dependent anti-Stokes signal at 1.53 mu m to be generated in the low-loss window, facilitating a long range sensor.
