Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing Technology
AIDriven is working with the R&D Team at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications on a distributed fiber optic sensing technology for a Health Monitoring solution. This technology has several advantages, including low requirements for reuse of existing fiber optic cables and only requiring a terminal connection for signal transceiver equipment, as well as being cheap and having a high sensing density using both the light transmission and sensing medium. It is also suitable for extreme environments due to its resistance to electromagnetic interference and corrosion. It can be used for various structures due to its small size, lightweight, and strong geometric variability.
Technical framework
