Additional Information
Sensing Results near the Fiber Termination
One common question about sensing with the ODiSI is, “How close to the end of the
sensor will I get strain/temperature results?
” The answer to this question is determined
by three parameters:
1.
Where is the physical sensor termination inside the protective tube?
2.
How does the ODiSI software locate the sensor termination?
3.
How much space does the ODiSI 6000 put between where it locates the sensor
termination and the end of strain or temperature sensing?
Consider the illustration of the termination end of a Luna fiber sensor:

1.
There is some variation in the position of the physical sensor termination in the
protective tube. The goal is to place the physical sensor termination near the
middle of the protective tube. The protective tube is
≤ 1 cm long. No strain or
temperature results are possible for the length of the protective tube.
2.
The structure and width of the termination will cause some variation in where
exactly the termination event is located by the software. The ODiSI 6000 control
software is looking for the point in the optical data at which there is the steepest
drop from the sensor scatter level down to the instrument’s noise floor.
3.
The ODiSI 6000 control software will end its strain/temperature sensing 1 cm
before the detected sensor termination event. This 1 cm is a fixed quantity in the
ODiSI 6000 control software. It is necessary because the termination splice has
some width and sensing is not possible where the sensing fiber is contaminated
by the termination.
Typically, the sensing ends ~1.5 cm from the far end of the protective tube. The worst-
case occurs when the termination is at the very beginning of the surrounding protective
tube. In that case the length for the sensing dead zone at the end of the sensor is equal
to the 1 cm protective tube plus 1 cm of fiber, or 2 cm total.
