Positive dependences coefficients of 0.77, 0.56 and 1.45MHz/0C are demonstrated for 25 km long single-mode fiber, 10 km long non-zero dispersion shifted fiber and 100 m photonic crystal fiber, respectively. The results indicate that microstructure fibers with a partially Ge-doped small core have great potential for fiber Brillouin distributed sensing.
