Fiber Optic Sensing Solutions

Distributed Acoustic Sensing and Distributed Temperature Sensing are fiber optic sensing solutions. These measure temperature along the fiber either utilizing a technique called Coherent Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (COTDR) or Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR). Therefore, turning the entire length of a fiber optic cable into a sensor.
