ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for detecting corrosion are provided. In one embodiment, a luminescent material coupled to a cladding of an optical fiber may be altered when exposed to corrosion. The backscatter emission of the luminescent material, which includes the altered optical properties, may be used to determine properties of the corrosion including, for example, thickness, or location of the corrosion.
