Abstract: A detection system for measuring one or more conditions within a predetermined area includes at least one fiber optic cable for transmitting light, the at least one fiber optic cable defining a plurality of nodes arranged to measure the one or more conditions. A control system is in communication with the at least one fiber optic cable such that scattered light and a time of flight record is transmitted from the at least one fiber optic cable to the control system. The control system includes a detection algorithm operable to identify a portion of the scattered light associated with each of the plurality of nodes and indicate a presence and magnitude of the one or more conditions at each of the plurality of nodes.

Abstract: A detection system for measuring one or more conditions within a predetermined area includes a fiber harness having at least one fiber optic cable for transmitting light. The at least one fiber optic cable defines a node arranged to measure the one or more conditions. A control system is operably coupled to the fiber harness such that a signal indicative of scattered light associated with the node is transmitted to the control system. The control system analyzes the signal associated with the node in one or more of a frequency domain, time-frequency domain, time domain, and spatial domain, to determine at least one of a presence and magnitude of the condition within the predetermined area.

Abstract: A scanner of an optical detection system includes a housing, an optical surface coupled to the housing, and an actuator coupled to the optical surface. The optical surface is movable to direct light into an area being scanned and to receive a reflected light pulse from the area being scanned. The actuator is operable to agitate the optical surface to remove debris from the optical surface.
