The timeliness and accuracy of the detection technology is directly related to the safety of people's lives and property, in the application of this technology, temperature is often a physical ...

Raman distributed optical fiber sensing has been demonstrated to be a mature and versatile scheme that presents great flexibility and effectivity for the distributed temperature measurement of a wide ...

Optical fibers were proposed for long-distance communications about six decades ago. Soon, researchers discovered that optical fibers could also be ...

Pipeline contents are typically valuable, volatile, and harmful to the environment if allowed to escape. With them being susceptible to aging, accidental damage, or tampering, the chances of an escape ...

The Wildfire season has changed. Once most active between the months of April through September, wildfires are now a threat year-round in the US. The fires are generally getting worse, too. According ...

Researchers used a fiber optic cable on the ice cap of an Icelandic subglacial volcano to detect low-frequency volcanic tremor, suggesting this technology could be useful in monitoring other ...

A project at Caltech has developed a fiber optic-based method to measure soil moisture in the shallow subterranean region between the surface and underground aquifers. Reported in Nature ...
