ElectroniCast publishes a summary-level report of the latest market and technology trends covering the area of fiber optic sensors

* Clients that have subscribed to the Fiber Optic Sensors Global Market Forecast and Analysis, within the last 12-months



This journal provides a review and analysis of current market and technology trends relative to the consumption of communication-based fiber optic sensors. The journal (PDF file: typically 30-40 pages), released at the beginning of each month, via e-mail, providing our clients with insights to the innovative applications of fiber optic sensors.

The journal typically presents information in three sections:
           
·        Fiber Optic Sensors – Market Overview
      ·        Selected Highlights of Technology Presentations and Company News
·        Calendar – Future Conferences                 

Summary-level consumption trends are provided for various measurand or technology.  The trends for each selected sensor, in turn, is segmented into various applications. The information is presented in easy-to-follow illustrations and text. 

The complete quantitative Microsoft Excel market forecast worksheets and competitive market share estimates are released every September for clients that subscribe to the Fiber Optic Sensors Market Forecast annual report; however, the monthly reports provide summary-level market forecast data updates and the latest industry news.

For professionals concerned with fiber optic sensor markets and technology. 

We believe you will find this journal useful for your planning of product and market development.  Please contact us with any questions or comments.

Fiber optic sensors use optical fiber either as the sensing element ("intrinsic sensors"), or as a means of relaying signals from a remote sensor to the electronics that process the signals ("extrinsic sensors").

The market trends discussed in the monthly journal address one or more of the following topics:
           
·        Fiber Optic Point Sensors: Component-Level
·        Continuous Distributed Fiber Optic Sensors
·        Optical Communication Signal Analysis Interface Components/Modules

Fiber Optic Point Sensors Applications:

·        Manufacturing Process/Factory
·        Civil Engineering/Construction (buildings, bridges, tunnels, etc)
·        Military/Aerospace/Security
·        Test & Measurement used in Telecommunication, CATV, Private/Enterprise
·        Biomedical/Science
·        Petrochemical/Energy/Utilities/Natural Resources
·        Automotive/Vehicle

Sensing/Measuring Quantity (Measurand) The monthly journal also looks at the industry trans and news pertaining to fiber optic point sensors, segmented further by the following sensing/measuring quantity (measurand) types:
