ABSTRACT:
A temperature measuring arrangement including a relatively long optical fibre temperature sensor doped along its length with material that absorbs light in dependence upon temperature, launcher for launching into one end of the temperature sensor fibre contemporaneous light pulses of two different wavelengths and comparator for comparing variations with time in back-scattered light of the two different wavelengths returned along the sensor fibre in order to provide an indication of the temperature distribution along the fibre, the two wavelengths of the light pulses launched into the fibre sensor being chosen so that they correspond with different absorption bands of the doped material.
