The accelerometer is suitable for a large range of applications. This sensor is a fiber optic version of the conventional accelerometer but completely passive, offering inherent insensitivity to environmental induced noise.

The accelerometer features high accuracy and resolution, and total fiber optic design ensuring intrinsic immunity to electric sparks and EMI/RFI. The torlon® option for the accelerometer head makes it suited for applications where there is the need for a passive element with nonmetallic parts.

Compatible with most common FBG measurement units, the accelerometer combines compact size, high resistance to corrosion and harsh environments, and long-term reliability. It’s also suitable for remote sensing being possible to locate it several kilometers away from the measurement unit. It offers intrinsic multiplexing capability that allows the concatenation of a large number of sensors in a single optical fiber. This sensor is therefore particularly suitable for difficult-to-reach locations and large scale sensing networks.
