What is Distributed Fibre Optic Sensor Market?
Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor is a technology that is used for making connections between optoelectronic interrogators and optical fiber by connecting the fiber to an array of distributed sensors. The fiber becomes the sensor while laser energy is injected by the interrogator into fibers. It allows continuous and real-time measurements along the complete length of a fiber optic cable. Enhanced public awareness about distributed fibre optic sensors and an increase in demand from core sectors such as oil, gas, telecom, heavy industries, railways, and the military is expediting the growth of the global distributed fibre optic sensor market.
The market study is being classified by Type (Rayleigh Scattering Based Distributed Sensor, Brillouin Scattering Based Sensor, Raman Scattering Based Sensor, Interferometric Distributed Optical-Fibre Sensor and Distributed Fibre Bragg Grating Sensor), by Application (Strain Sensing, Temperature Sensing, Acoustic/Vibration Sensing, Pressure Sensing and Others) and major geographies with country level break-up.
FISO Technologies Inc. (Canada), Brugg Kabel AG (Switzerland), OSENSA Innovation Corporation (Canada), Sensor Highway (United Kingdom), Omnisens S.A. (Switzerland), AFL (United States), Lockheed Martin Corporation (United States) and QinetiQ Group Plc (United Kingdom) are some of the key players profiled in the study.

In March 2018, The Fiber Optic Sensing Association (FOSA), the world’s premier trade association for distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS), released a brief primer entitled FOSA Installation Considerations for Pipelines. The document contains guidance on the selection and positioning of fiber optic cables to maximize the benefits of DFOS along pipelines. Fiber optic sensing is an emerging and key technology for advancements in the safe and efficient operation of pipelines throughout the world.
In March 2019, FOSA has urged the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure and the Senate Commerce Committee to incorporate advanced technologies to help make the nation’s infrastructure safer, more resilient, and longer lasting.
