ABSTRACT:
Sensing apparatus based on the use of Raman spectroscopy for detecting the presence and location of a species of interest in a medium comprises a light transmissive optical fibre (4) with an elongate sensing length along at least a portion thereof, a light source means (1) for transmitting pulses of light along the fibre, and a detector (6) for detecting at the same end of the fibre as the light source Raman signals resulting from species (c) of interest at the interface of the sensing length and a medium in which it is located. The time difference between the transmission of an excitation pulse and detection of a Raman emission signal caused by that pulse is determined, and is used to determine the position of the species along the fibre.
