Luna Technologies’ Distributed Sensing System (DSS) is
a fiber optic sensing tool for making distributed
measurements of temperature and
strain. The DSS uses swept-wavelength interferometry
to simultaneously interrogate thousands of
sensors integrated in a single fiber. These
sensors consist of discrete Fiber Bragg Grating
(FBG) point sensors which can each reflect
the same nominal wavelength. As such, the sensors
can be fabricated on the draw tower, eliminating
the need for individual grating fabrication.
The DSS combined with Luna’s sensing fiber
provides a tool for distributed sensing with
up to 1 cm spatial resolution along the length
of the fiber.
