International Conference on
Prospects for fibre-optic underwater sensing networks
Jolyon De Freitas

F
ibreoptic sensors for underwater applications have
been developed for nearly 50 years mainly by the
military. High precision designs have now been deployed in
seismic underwater Oil & Gas, Defence and Climate Change
applications. This talk gives a brief review of fibreoptic
sensing technology in the underwater Oil & Gas, Defence
and Climate Change applications. It highlights multiplexing
of large-scale fibreoptic sensors up to a few thousands,
current challenges, and future prospects for the technology.
Speaker Biography
Jolyon De Freitas is an optical engineer with over 25 years experience in high precision
interferometry, optical metrology and fibre-optic sensing. He was involved in the
design, development and high precision measurement of the optical homogeneity
of gyroscope blanks for the readout system of the Stanford University/NASA Gravity
Probe B satellite test of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. He has worked both
in academia as a lecturer in physics and as an optical specialist in the defence industry
with QinetiQ and Atlas Elektronik UK. He has 8 patents and 25 peer-reviewed
articles. He holds a PhD in Optical Metrology from Aberdeen University, Scotland.
