It is a single point contact temperature measurement system. The other end of the fiber is attached to a light source. Since the measuring chain is a functional combination of optical methods, optical fiber properties, and other photonic elements together with control electronic circuits, it is necessary to nd a suitable compromise between the chosen measurement method, fi measuring range, accuracy, and resolution. Distributed temperature sensing (DTS) measures temperature distribution over the length of an optical fiber cable using the fiber itself as the sensing element., thermocouples, RTDs), fiber optic sensors offer significant advantages such as immunity to electromagnetic interference. Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) is a fiber-optic sensing technology for measuring spatially resolved temperature profiles along fiber-optic sensor cables.
