Critical factors for using optical fibers for strain and temperature sensing

Fibers & Cables

OPTICAL FIBER CABLES

Fiber optic sensors are devices that use optical fibers to detect and measure various physical properties, such as temperature, pressure, strain, vibration, and chemical substances. These sensors work on the principle that changes in the properties of light transmitted through optical fibers can be used to detect and quantify environmental changes. Fiber optic sensors have a wide range of applications in various industries due to their numerous advantages, including high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and the ability to cover long distances. Fiber optic sensors are valued for their ability to provide accurate, reliable, and real-time data in challenging and remote locations. The choice of a specific fiber optic sensor depends on the application and the environmental parameters to be measured.

Below are given the fiber optic sensors used for the application of DISTRIBUTED ACOUSTIC STRAIN & TEMPERATURE SENSING and their characteristics and technical properties.
