Optical Time Domain Reflectometery – Brillouin – added to Foresight™ DSTS
Oz Optics has added a BOTDR (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry) single-ended fibre measurement capability to their Foresight™ Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensor (DSTS).
Optical Time Domain
Utilising Brillouin-scattering in an optical fibre, the new module can sense changes in both temperature and strain along the length of a simple fibre, or the rapid detection and location of a major disturbance within a second, up to 70 km away.
