TY - JOUR A1 - Daum, Werner T1 - Sensing with optical fibres N2 - Starting from the first patent of a fibre optic sensor in 1967, fibre optic sensing has become a success story throughout the world. Today, fibre optic point sensors and continuous distributed fibre optics sensor systems allow the measurement of nearly all physical quantities and contribute to higher safety levels in many industrial sectors. Monitoring of pipelines, power cables, lightweight and civil engineering structures, and of ground movements are heading the hit list of applications. Standardization in this field is of paramount relevance and brings to light some of the challenges now faced by IEC SC (Subcommittee) 86C/WG (Working Group) 2: Fibre optic sensors.
