Optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) has long been instrumental in analysing the integrity of optical fibre networks by detecting backscattered light from imperfections and disturbances along the ...

The real-time monitoring of facilities, particularly large facilities (such as rail transit systems, large bridges, and buildings), can provide information regarding their surrounding environment and ...

In order to understand and predict volcanic events even better, a better understanding of the diverse underground processes involved is required. A new way to detect such processes, even if they are ...

The downed Russian drone — the spool of fiber optic cable is visible at right but was not at first identified. When Kalashnikov subsidiary ZALA boasted that their new ‘Product 55’ quadcopter was proof ...

Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) and acoustic sensing technologies harness the intrinsic properties of fibre optics to detect and monitor mechanical disturbances over extensive distances. OTDR ...
