Fiber-optic sensing enables new test and measurement capabilities

High-definition distributed fiber optic sensing (HD-FOS) methods have been shown to enhance battery testing and monitoring systems and assess composite systems. HD-FOS provides independent measurements every millimeter along a single optical fiber sensor enabling the measurement of temperatures and strains with a high degree of sensitivity. The sensor’s small size, flexibility, immunity to EMI, and lack of electrical conductivity provides versatility in challenging applications.
