OpticAmpere also offers custom design and installation services for environmental sensing solutions, using our proprietary PolarDAS platform.

 

Traditional Rayleigh backscatter interrogation methods rely on the acoustic disturbance of environmental vibration to alter the linear birefringence of a fiber interrogation line, changing the index of refraction, and causing reflection back to the interrogator, with changes in Rayleigh backscatter intensity in real time correlated with acoustic disturbances. 

 

OpticAmpere's proprietary PolarDAS platform looks at forward changes in polarization state to transduce the same acoustic disturbances as variations in optical intensity, with mathematically deterministic relationships which are more accurate than the stochastic models required to estimate Rayleigh backscatter intensity correlated to acoustic disturances. 

 

PolarDAS offers Environmental Remote Sensing platforms which are flexible, robust, and highly accurate.
