Improving Distributed Sensing with Continuous Gratings in Single and Multi-core Fibers

Improving Distributed Sensing with Continuous Gratings in Single and Multi-core Fibers

We review advances in single and multicore continuous fiber grating array sensor technology. Grating enhanced backscattering offers order of magnitude signal improvements for distributed sensing of shape, temperature and strain over lengths up to 1km.
