This document summarizes research on using Brillouin scattering to perform distributed sensing of temperature in optical fibers. The key points are: 1) Stimulated Brillouin scattering can be used for temperature and strain sensing since the Brillouin gain spectrum depends on the material and shifts with temperature changes. 2) The researchers demonstrated a method to extract the Brillouin gain spectrum of an optical fiber using a continuous wave laser source. They modulated a probe signal and measured the gain at different modulation frequencies. 3) Results showed the gain spectrum had a center frequency shift of 10.882 GHz from the pump frequency at room temperature, with a bandwidth of 28 MHz. The center frequency shifted higher by 1 MHz for
