Global Leader in Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing

OptaSense is a leading provider of advanced distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) solutions, enabling real-time monitoring of critical infrastructure across industries such as oil & gas, transportation, energy, and security. As part of Luna Innovations, the company combines deep expertise in photonics, signal processing, and software analytics to transform standard fiber optic cables into intelligent sensing networks.

OptaSense’s core technology is based on distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), which uses laser pulses and backscattered light within optical fibers to detect vibrations, strain, temperature, and acoustic signals along tens of kilometers of infrastructure in real time. This approach effectively turns a single fiber into thousands of virtual sensors, delivering continuous, high-resolution data without the need for discrete sensing devices.

The company’s solutions are widely deployed for applications such as pipeline leak detection, perimeter security, railway monitoring, and industrial asset management. By providing continuous situational awareness and early event detection, OptaSense helps operators improve safety, reduce operational risk, and optimize performance across large-scale assets.

With installations spanning more than 40 countries and a track record of industry firsts, including pioneering DAS applications in pipeline monitoring and geophysical sensing, OptaSense has established itself as a key innovator in the field of distributed sensing.

Positioned at the intersection of photonics and data analytics, OptaSense continues to drive the evolution of smart infrastructure by delivering scalable, long-range sensing solutions that enable smarter, safer, and more efficient operations worldwide.
