Fibre-optic sensors could transmit data up to 100 times faster
September 4, 2020
Distributed fibre-optic sensors are commonly used in hazard detection systems to identify potential accidents before they happen, such as spotting cracks in pipelines, detecting potential landslides on mountain slopes, or identifying deformations in structures. These sensors can take temperature readings everywhere a fibre is placed, generating a continuous heat diagram of a site (even if the site
