Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) is a technology that uses optical fibers to measure physical parameters such as temperature, pressure, strain, and acoustic signals. It is a type of optoelectronic sensing technology that is used in a variety of applications, including oil and gas exploration, pipeline monitoring, and structural health monitoring. DFOS systems are composed of a light source, an optical fiber, and a detector. The light source is used to send light pulses down the fiber, and the detector measures the light that is reflected back. The reflected light is then used to measure the physical parameters of the environment. DFOS systems offer several advantages over traditional sensing technologies, such as high accuracy, long-distance sensing, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Additionally, DFOS systems are cost-effective and require minimal maintenance. Some companies in the DFOS market include Corning, OFS, Fotech Solutions, Senko Advanced Components, and Yokogawa Electric Corporation. Show Less Read more
