Used for distributed temperature sensing, Raman scattering helps measure temperature changes along a fiber optic cable over long distances. It is ideal for applications requiring continuous thermal monitoring.

Used for distributed strain and temperature sensing, Brillouin scattering supports condition monitoring in structures, pipelines, and geotechnical environments where both mechanical and thermal changes matter.

Used for high-resolution distributed sensing, Rayleigh scattering enables detailed monitoring of changes along optical fibers. It is useful in applications that require precise detection over smaller sections or dynamic environments.
