Distributed fiber sensing based on correlation-aided, phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) is a cutting-edge technique used for precise and real-time monitoring of physical parameters along an optical fiber. It offers significant advantages in various applications, including environmental sensing, structural health monitoring and perimeter security.
In this session, André Sandmann will explain the fundamentals of distributed fiber sensing based on correlation-aided phase-sensitive OTDR. He will delve into research and demonstrations of the technology and show how it can improve the accuracy and efficiency of fiber sensing across many different applications.
