Fiber
optic technology uses light waves to transmit data from one place to
another, it uses a glass or plastic threads to transmit that data.
Fiber optic cables is a network designed for long distance, high
performance and data-networking. Unlike wired cables, fiber optic
cables provide reliability, higher bandwidth, higher speed and less
data-loss. Distributed
fiber optic sensor is a sensor technology that enables real-time
and continuous measurements along the entire piece of a fiber optic
cable. Contradictory to traditional sensors which relied on sensors
measuring at fixed points, distributed fiber optic sensors does not
work like traditional one but utilizes the optical fiber itself for
sensing purpose. It does not require any additional transducers in
its optical path. The interrogator system used in distributed fiber
optic sensor works according to a radar-style process, at first it
sends a sequence of pulse signals into the fiber and records the
return of the scattered pulse signals against time. By doing this,
the distributed sensor measures and records all points along with the
fiber. It is used to detect any changes in undersea water from
natural disaster, detection of hazardous chemical pollutants and
breakage or bury of fiber optic cable. Distributed fiber optic sensor
has many advantages over traditional sensors. In Distributed fiber
optic sensor, the fiber itself is the sensor and it can be easily
deployed even in harsh and inaccessible environments. Distributed
fiber optic sensor market can be widely used in undersea
telecommunication cables, power cables and in oil or gas extraction
fields.

There
are various factors which are driving the growth of distributed fiber
optic sensor market. Major factors are due to increasing demand of
fiber optic sensors in oil & gas and industrial segments. Also,
increased investments in civil structure and smart manufacturing can
influence the distributed fiber sensor market growth. Distributed
fiber optic sensor offers reliability over other traditional sensors,
since it can sustain in various harsh environment and it is cost
effective Further in every industry, there is a demand for data based
analysis that helps to keep close eye on every operational process
which helps to increases the efficiency and reliability. Growing
bandwidth demands among consumers can also create an opportunity for
the fiber optic sensor market. Stringent environmental regulations in
industries that requires safety from hazardous elements can further
accelerate the adoption of distributed fiber optic sensors. However
technical issues regarding installation of distributed fiber optic
sensor market and high installation cost can act as a restraints for
the distributed fiber optic sensor market.
