Fiber Optic Sensors
http://www.reportlinker.com/p096593/Fiber-Optic-Sensors.html
This BCC study analyzes the status of global markets for fiber optic sensors. Fiber optic sensors (FOSs) began as a by-product of optical fiber research and development. The first sensors were designed to measure the performance and status of an optical network. Optical networks transmit voice and data across the U.S. and around the world. The networks require constant monitoring to ensure signal transmission along the fibers in the network.
Faults or flaws along the length of the fiber affected the characteristic of the transmitted signal in measurable ways. Differences in temperature, strain, and pressure can be measured over long distances. The ability to multiplex a large number of wavelengths along a single fiber offers a means to gather a large amount of data from a single fiber. With the ability to operate in harsh environments and imperviousness to electromagnetic interference, FOSs can be applied in conditions in which electronic sensors fail. The cost of FOS technology remains higher than electronic sensors, thus FOSs have penetrated only where the unique advantages of FOSs justify the higher expense, or in which they are the only option for the conditions.
This report considers market conditions and opportunities in regional areas around the globe. The report also considers the potential new applications that will emerge in the next 5 years. The slowing of the telecom sector has led to attempts to leverage the optical fiber sensor technology developed for one application into new applications. Optical fiber sensors measure temperature; pressure, humidity, acceleration, and strain, and can operate in harsh conditions. This report considers the different types of sensor, what they can measure, and where they are used.
In addition to telecom applications, optical fiber sensors are used in oil and gas services, medicine, defense, and aerospace applications. Fiber optic sensors represent a disruptive technology within the oil and gas market, as they opened an entire new revenue stream for service providers.
Although familiarity with fiber sensor technology has increased and sensor prices have decreased, fiber sensors still find most application in areas where electronic sensors cannot compete. In cases in which fiber optic sensors attempt to replace existing electronic technology that meets the defined need adequately and for lower cost, the electronic option still dominates. Cost and unfamiliarity remain the primary barriers to fiber optic sensor growth into new applications. This report provides a standard 5-year planning cycle and revenue estimates through 2014. It defines product segments for optical coating technology categories, analyzes technology options, and determines current application markets as well as likely future opportunities.
Additionally, this report defines and graphically analyzes these fiber optic sensor markets from many perspectives, categorizes and profiles the companies involved, defines unique nomenclature, and details policy organizations, conferences, authors, and consortiums.
