This method was experimental proven to be suitable for distributed dynamic strain measurement in a thermally unstable environment. Signal-to-noise ratio analyses for detecting a signal peak within the time-dependent spectra were performed. Results show an increase in SNR and additionally that the occurrence of total loss of sensitivity (SNR <1) could be decreased by a factor of six when compared to an untreated standard fiber.
