Why should you attend?
The distributed fiber sensing provides real-time and reliable data that allows to make fast enlightened strategic decisions in various applications. It is essential to learn its principles and the way to use it to take all its advantages. By following this course, the attendees will have a first experience of distributed fiber sensing using FEBUS’ devices and will understand how these technologies can meet their specific issues. The course will be performed by the FEBUS’ experienced scientists, experts in the distributed fiber optic sensing topics.
Main Objectives:
Understand the usage of optical fibers as sensors.
Learn about the diverse distributed fiber sensing technologies and their applications to vibration/acoustic (DAS), temperature (DTS) and strain (DSS) sensing.
Introduction to the usage of DAS, DTS and DSS instruments.
Learning Approach:
This interactive course must be considered as a first approach to distributed fiber optic sensing. It takes place in our Test Center and is designed for an audience of 8 to 9 people. An active participation of attendees is required.
The course is organized in two phases with a theorical part followed by hands-on practical exercises. During the practical part, the attendees work in small groups of 2 to 3 people.
In the end, the participants of the course understand the principles of distributed fiber optic sensing technologies. They can appreciate how it is relevant to them and how to implement it.
All documents are provided.
HSE requirements:
As the course takes place in our Test Center, the attendees must wear safety footwear.
Course Agenda:
Day 1: Fundamentals of optics and Instruments
Day 2: Hands-on and case studies
Day 3: Hands-on and case studies
The course lasts 2 or 3 days according to the request. The attendees practice all FEBUS’ devices (DAS, DTS and DSS) or focus on two of them depending on the duration of the training.
Prerequisites
The course has been designed for technical and scientific staff willing to find out about the theory of the distributed fiber sensing technologies and to understand how to use the provided data. A general knowledge in physics is required. A minimum knowledge of optics would be a plus.
Lecturers
Dr. RICHARD S.
After a Ph.D. in physics, Simon occupied various positions in advanced R&D teams, mainly focused on optical components and systems.
With Thales Research and Technology, he developed non-conventional laser sources. With Draka he worked on hole assisted and nonlinear optical fibers and then joined the Scientific division of the HORIBA group as a novel instrument scientist.
Simon is now part of the R&D team of FEBUS Optics to bring his expertise in physical optics.
