André CHAMPAVERE is ISROS WG4 Sub-group 4 Leader for  Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing inside the WG4: “State of the art on optical fibre sensing systems”

ARUFOG Association (Association for the research and use of optical fiber and guided optics). Since 1986, ARUFOG has maintained a balance between academic and industrial players to focus on new applications of optical fiber.

The GO2S® initiative (Guided Optics & Sensor Systems) created in 2008 by André CHAMPAVERE within the ARUFOG Association (Association for the research and use of optical fiber and guided optics) focuses on new applications of fiber optics as a sensor or sensor network. 

After the GO2S 2019 conference, which took place in Paris, at the Ministry of the Economy, Finance, Action and Public Accounts, GO2S 2020 was held on February 11 and 12, 2020, at the Hôtel de Region in the Confluence district of LYON. .

André CHAMPAVERE one of the 4 key experts of the LOCUS project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No.871249 (Research and Innovation Action).

André CHAMPAVERE is the author of numerous publications, whether in technical journals and magazines like EDN or SmartCity Mag  or at national or international conferences like OFC or ECOC / NFOEC

W3D.1 • 13:00 Invited New OTDR Measurement and Monitoring Techniques, Andre CHAMPAVERE Since its first introduction three decades ago, optical-time-division reflectometry has become an indispensable tool to characterize fiber optic links in longdistance and local-area networks. We review the evolution of this technology and discuss emerging applications. .

Patent activity in the Telecom & Fiber sensing domains: Wavelength identification and analysis sensor, Dual Wavelength distributed temperature sensing with built-in fiber integrity, Optical reflective marker adaptor for a patch cord in OTDR applications and others not yet published.
