Abstract
Optical fibres possess many advantages for measurement sensing. An especially important feature is the one-dimensional nature of the medium, since this offers unique advantages for spatially-distributed measurement. This Review outlines the principles on which distributed optical-fibre sensors are based, and looks at recent progress which has been made towards their implementation.Keywords
