/members-area/personalblogs/b/michael-wylie-s-blog/posts/distributed-fiber-optic-sensing---a-taste-of-what-s-to-comeOver the last 30 years or so, a lot of research has made distributed fiber optic sensors a viable option in the commercial market. This blogpost will discuss the idea of distributed sensing in general with regard to temperature.
