Optical coherence tomography imaging technology has many distinct advantages that have driven commercialization. The primary benefits are real time subsurface images with high resolution for biomedical and industry applications with no preparation of the target area or ionizing radiation required. The market is expected to grow between 10% and 12% annually. The OCT market is projected to exceed $1.2 billion in 2024.
Most physical properties can be sensed optically with fibers. Light intensity, displacement (position), temperature, pressure, rotation, sound, strain, magnetic field, electric field, radiation, flow, liquid level, chemical analysis, and vibration are just some of the phenomena that can be sensed. Fiber optic sensors have been used successfully for many years in military gyroscopes and hydrophones. However, their use in smart oil wells has been the key to enabling North America to be on a path to energy independence.
