> there is a company called luna innovations that sells production fiber sensors Luna is the current front, but acquired the technology from Optasense [0] relatively recently. There is a good timeline of Optasense commercial development in the fibre optic sensing domain at [1], going back to 2007, when Optasense was spun off from QinetiQ, which was itself the commercial spin-off (in 2001) from the UK's Defence and Evaluation Research Agency. This timeline illustrates the wide range of application areas, including pipeline and railway monitoring, border surveillance, drilling seismology, deep sea and others.
