Distributed detection of optical radiation using chirped-pulse phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry

• A distributed bolometer operating over transparent-coated and carbon-coated optical fibers is proposed. The detection of light with irradiance sensitivities of in the order of 1% of the reference solar irradiance is readily demonstrated.
