Distributed Acoustic Sensing

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a cutting-edge technology that uses optical fiber to sense and identify multiple parameters over extended distances remotely.

The technology leverages the Rayleigh backscatter theory to detect vibrations and sounds along the fiber

Industry Leading  Technology

Fiber optic-based Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) leverages existing fiber optic cables to detect and analyze acoustic signals along their length using Rayleigh scattering.

 

By sending continuous laser pulses and analyzing the reflected signals, DAS systems can monitor vibrations and sound waves in real-time.
