Heterodyne detection (also called coherent detection) is a detection method which was originally developed in the field of radio waves and microwaves. There, a weak input signal is mixed with some strong “local oscillator” wave in some nonlinear device such as a rectifier, and the resulting mixin...
Rayleigh Backscattering (RBS) in optical fiber is a fundamental phenomenon caused by random fluctuations in the index profile along the fiber optic length. Optical reflectometry is the best tool to obtain RBS signals of fiber laser with a distributed way along the fiber and is widely used as a no...
BOTDR Brillouin Reflectometer BOTDR (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometer). Another kind of reflectometers is based on the Brillouin scattering. In the typical reflectometers the Rayleigh scattering is employed for analysis. The BOTDR reflectometer utilizes the phenomenon of the fiber lase...
What Are The Different Types Of LiDAR And What Are They Used For?
LiDAR technology is at the core of several different industries and innovations. By bouncing fiber laser light pulses off of objects, buildings, and surfaces, LiDAR systems measure distances and dimensions.
This technology is used...
Wind LiDAR (a portmanteau of “light” and “radar”) is a technique where low-noise fiber laser light is used to measure wind speed and direction with high accuracy.
Wind Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) systems are able to measure the speed of incoming wind before it inte...
LiDAR( also called Lidar, LIDAR, and LADAR) is a method for measuring distances(ranging)by illuminating the target with fiber laser light and measuring the reflection with a sensor. Differences in laser return times and wavelengths can then be used to make digital 3-D representations of the tar...
The FOG (Fiber Optic Gyroscope) is the result of more than 30 years of research and development and is today considered to be the best gyroscope in the world: its performance is deemed genuinely unlimited.
Using the Light Calculate Motion
Based on the Sagnac effect, FOGs are passive systems that ...
Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) using coherent Rayleigh backscattering in an optical fiber has become a ubiquitous technique for monitoring multiple dynamic events in real time. It has continued to constitute a steadily increasing share of the fiber-optic sensor market, thanks to its interesti...
