Webinar: Mastering the Fundamentals of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing - FOSA

We are excited to present our webinar, "Mastering the Fundamentals of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing: A Comprehensive Guide," where we delve into the intricate world of distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS). This enlightening session explores the principles and applications of DFOS, including Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), Distributed Strain Sensing (DSS), and backscattering phenomena. Our expert speakers elucidate how DAS enables real-time monitoring of acoustic signals along optical fibers, while DSS allows for precise measurement of strain and deformation in structures. By delving into the fascinating concept of backscattering, we uncover how variations in physical parameters induce changes in light properties within the fiber, enabling continuous monitoring capabilities. Through engaging discussions and practical examples, participants gain a comprehensive understanding of DFOS technology and its diverse applications across industries such as structural health monitoring, oil and gas pipeline surveillance, perimeter security, and geophysical exploration. Presented by FOSA Board Member Dr. David Chen of Go!Foton and FOSA Technology Outreach Committee Co-chair Dane Langden of Luna Innovations. This webinar will be moderated by FOSA Technology Outreach Committee Chair Gayla Arrindell of Corning, and introduced by FOSA Board Chair Nilson Gabela of Corning.
