  • LONG RANGE OPTICAL FIBER SENSING SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20250341409
    Abstract: A long range optical fiber sensor such as a distributed acoustic sensor has a sensing fiber located remotely from the interrogator, with a length of transport fiber path connecting the two. Because no sensing is performed on the transport fiber then the pulse repetition rate from the interrogator can be high enough such that the pulse repetition rate and pulse power are optimised according to the sensing fiber length and hence sensing frequency response and sensitivity are also optimised according to the sensing fiber length.
    Type: Application
