Simultaneous optical fibre distributed strain and temperature measurements have been obtained, by measuring the spontaneous Brillouin intensity and frequency shift, using the technique of microwave heterodyne detection. The enhanced stability from using a single coherent source combined with optical preamplification results in a highly accurate sensor. Using this sensor, distributed temperature sensing at 57 km and simultaneous distributed strain and temperature sensing at 30 km were achieved, the longest reported sensing lengths to date for these measurements. As a simultaneous strain and temperature sensor, a strain resolution of 100 mu is an element of and temperature resolution of 4 degreesC were achieved.
