Competing interests
: The authors declare the following competing interests: OptaSense Ltd. (owned by Luna Innovations) is a funder of this research, via a Mitacs Accelerate International grant. At the time of producing this paper Roger Crickmore and Steve Cole were employed by Optasense Ltd, although Steve has since retired. The production of such papers is considered to be part of their normal duties as employees of Optasense, and they will not gain financial advantage due to its publication. The interrogator used to make the measurements does include some patented techniques, but these are not discussed in this paper so we do not believe that the value of any of these patents will be affected by its publication. Having their instrumentation mentioned in a peer reviewed paper is obviously of some benefit to Optasense as it slightly raises the profile of the company. However, given the range of other activities (trade shows, conferences, webinars, etc) that Optasense also undertake, the benefit from the publication of a single paper will likely be very small and impossible to quantify. We feel that it is standard practice in scientific papers and conference presentations to mention the source of any specialist equipment that was used to make the measurements, especially when the developers of the equipment have assisted in the analysis of its data. The remaining authors declare no competing interests.
