What are the uses of temperature-measuring optical cables
Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) systems provide temperature information for accurate thermal monitoring, fire detection, and condition assessment by utilizing standard fiber optic cables. This makes them suitable for use in space applications and hazardous environments such as high-voltage machinery (e. These sensors utilize light transmission properties through optical fibers to detect temperature. The key phenomena employed in the optical techniques for temperature measurement include: Changes in refractive index of external media with temperature.
