Fiber optic sensing harnesses the properties of light within the fiber to detect environmental changes, translating even the smallest of perturbations
A fiber-optic sensor is a sensor that uses optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors"). Fibers have many uses in remote sensing. Depending on the application, fiber may be used because of its small size, or because no electrical power is needed at the remote location, or because many sensors can be multiplexed along the length of a fiber by using light wavelength shift for
Future Fibre Technologies is a leader in intrusion detection systems, offering fibre optic security system solutions for pipeline, fence, and perimeter.
The fiber becomes the sensor while the interrogator injects laser energy into the fiber and detects events along the fiber. This technology can be deployed to continuously monitor vehicle movement, human
Fiber optic sensing measures changes in the naturally occurring “backscattering” of light occurring in an optical fiber (or designed in methods of controlled reflection such as Fiber Bragg Gratings).
