Applications of Fiber Optic Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensors

Download Whitepaper
Fiber optic distributed strain and temperature sensors measure strain and temperature over very long distances and are an excellent tool for monitoring the health of large structures. These sensors leverage the huge economies of scale in optical telecommunications to provide highresolution long-range monitoring at a cost per kilometer that cannot be matched with any other technology. Today's distributed strain and temperature sensors offer clear cost and technical advantages in applications such as pipeline monitoring, bridge monitoring, dam monitoring, power line monitoring, and border security / perimeter monitoring. Brillouin sensors are also excellent for the detection of corrosion in large structures.
