Patent number: 9797782Abstract: A temperature distribution measurement apparatus includes a laser light source optically connected to an optical fiber, a photodetector configured to detect light backscattered in the optical fiber, and a temperature distribution measurement unit configured to obtain a true measured temperature distribution by performing correction calculation using a transfer function on a temporary measured temperature distribution obtained based on an output from the photodetector. The temperature distribution measurement unit stores therein data on a transfer function set for each entire length of the optical fiber and for each longitudinal position in the optical fiber. Then, when the length of the optical fiber is changed, the temperature distribution measurement unit changes the transfer function to be used in the correction calculation by using the data on the transfer function.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2014Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: FUJITSU LIMITEDInventors: Takeo Kasajima, Kazushi Uno, Minoru Ishinabe, Kyoko Tadaki, Fumio Takei
