Tucson Lunch and Learn: Monitor Structural Integrity and Secure Environments with Fiber Optic Sensors

At this Lunch and Learn, you’ll learn how you can use your existing fiber infrastructure with new fiber optic sensing technology to enable passive monitoring of structures and secure environments. A variety of passive sensors can allow you to monitor structural integrity, temperature and strain conditions, and provide security warning alerts relative to unwanted intrusions and unlawful access to secure environments.

The ability to multiplex many sensors onto a single fiber channel makes such a system extremely efficient and cost effective while providing real-time information about the state of the environment being monitored. There are also devices that protect fiber optic infrastructure cabling from being destroyed by impact to enclosures or transition areas.

Who Should Attend:

Traffic and transportation system engineers and designers
Security consultants and contractors
System integrators and distributors of fiber optic sensing products.
