Distributed Fiber Optical Sensing of Oxygen with Optical Time Domain Reflectometry

In many biological and environmental applications spatially resolved sensing of molecular oxygen is desirable. A powerful tool for distributed measurements is optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) which is often used in the field of telecommunications. We combine this technique with a novel optic...
