Claim 0:
1. A method of wrapping optical fiber around a fluid conduit, comprising:
wrapping optical fiber at least partially around the fluid conduit; and
securing the optical fiber relative to the fluid conduit at one or more securing locations, thereby defining a sequence of multiple optical fiber portions, each optical fiber portion comprising a portion of the optical fiber, wherein each securing location delimits a given optical fiber portion from a subsequent optical fiber portion in the sequence of optical fiber portions,
wherein wrapping the optical fiber comprises:
wrapping a first optical fiber portion around the fluid conduit in one of a clockwise direction and a counter-clockwise direction; and
wrapping a second optical fiber portion around the fluid conduit in the other of the clockwise direction and the counter-clockwise direction, wherein:
relative to the first optical fiber portion, the second optical fiber portion is the subsequent optical fiber portion in the sequence of optical fiber portions; and
one of the one or more securing locations delimits the first optical fiber portion from the second optical fiber portion.
