Optoplex Corporation is a leading technology company with proprietary optical technologies and products for applications from Telecom, Datacom, Optical Sensing, to Optical Spectral Instrumentations. In addition to commercial applications, Optoplex has been designing and manufacturing high reliability products for fiber sensing applications.
In fiber sensing applications, usually scattering light is measured that is sensitive to the change of the environment conditions, such as temperature, pressure, and stress, etc. |

There are two major types of fiber sensing: FBG based fiber sensing and distributed fiber sensing.
Among the distributed fiber sensing, distributed temperature sensing (DTS) has been widely employed in the past ten years while distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) becomes more and more attractive.
DTS uses Raman Anti-Stokes scattering that is temperature dependent (while Raman Stokes scattering is very weakly temperature dependent). Usually 50µm multimode fiber (MMF) is used in DTS.
DAS usually uses single-mode-fiber (SMF). The fact that DAS system uses single-mode cable allows obtaining better special resolution and reducing noise.
