A distributed fibre optic sensor for hydrocarbon detection

Alistair MacLean

Year: 2000 Journal:   Fourteenth International Conference on Optical Fiber Sensors Pages: 187-187

Abstract

We present a distributed fibre optic sensor that incorporates hydrocarbon-swellable polymers to produce a microbend loss. Detection of hydrocarbon fuels at multiple locations along a 2km sensor length is readily achievable using standard OTDR techniques.
