Fibre optic sensor cable technology is relatively a new research area that combines a set of scientific and technical disciplines in order to meet distributed sensor system needs and quality standards. In this paper, we discuss a fibre optic sensor design with three tightly encapsulated fibres for multipurpose and multivalent sensing. It has the potential to integrate more detection and measurement techniques into a small space, and this, in turn, largely contributes to installation and cost optimizations and directly impacts investment plans and industrial success. The developed cable is tested in a specially developed high pressure and high temperature chamber. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that the proposed sensor cable offers the possibility of detection and distributed measurement of temperature, pressure, bending and vibrations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
