SUBMERSE project to advance research infrastructure for subsea cable sensing
Recent years have seen the evolution of technologies that turn optical fibres into sensors. With technologies such as state of polarization (SOP) detection and digital acoustic sensing (DAS), it has become possible to detect vibrations, sounds and other parameter changes around an optical fibre cable. Combined with advanced data processing, these technologies enable the transformation […]
