Abstract:
A method of optical sensing is disclosed. The method comprises coupling an excitation optical signal into a first optical fiber to induce Rayleigh backscattering, thereby providing a backscattered signal; coupling the backscattered signal into a second optical fiber, spatially separated from the first optical fiber; and optically amplifying the backscattered signal in the second optical fiber, thereby generating a sensing signal.

Claim (Index 3):
The method according to  claim 2 , wherein said at least one property is selected from the group consisting of a mechanical property, a thermal property and a chemical property.
