Abstract:
Fibreoptic sensors for underwater applications have been developed for nearly 50 years mainly by the military. High precision designs have now been deployed in seismic underwater Oil & Gas, Defence and Climate Change applications. This talk gives a brief review of fibreoptic sensing technology in the underwater Oil & Gas, Defence and Climate Change applications. It highlights multiplexing of large-scale fibreoptic sensors up to a few thousands, current challenges, and future prospects for the technology.
Biography:
Jolyon De Freitas is an optical engineer with over 25 years experience in high precision interferometry, optical metrology and fibre-optic sensing. He was involved in the design, development and high precision measurement of the optical homogeneity of gyroscope blanks for the readout system of the Stanford University/NASA Gravity Probe B satellite test of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. He has worked both in academia as a lecturer in physics and as an optical specialist in the defence industry with QinetiQ and Atlas Elektronik UK. He has 8 patents and 25 peer-reviewed articles. He holds a PhD in Optical Metrology from Aberdeen University, Scotland.
