What is the spatial resolution of a fiber optic distributed sensing system?
The spatial resolution is the smallest length of fiber for which the true temperature (100%) can be detected while exposed to two adjacent locations submitted to different temperature/ strain conditions.
For fiber optic distributed systems, the spatial resolution is directly related to the optical pulse width.
Typical spatial resolution of the DITEST instrument goes down to 0.5 m and typically 1 or 2 meters for the majority of applications.
