Article Abstract
A quasi-distributed acoustic sensor with high-spatial-resolution based on phase-sensitive optical frequency domain reflectometry (φ-OFDR) was demonstrated. The source of noise that affects the accuracy of phase demodulation was analyzed. Two low noise linear frequency sweeps (LFSs) with different sweep ranges obtained by injection-locking method were used to achieve high-spatial-resolution and long-distance sensing. The phase noise caused by laser, intensity and fading noises was effectively suppressed by further combining a femtosecond-laser-inscribed weak reflector array (WRA) and a phase index method (PIM). Vibration signals located a long distance of over 1 km were successfully demodulated with a spatial resolution of 2 cm through the use of 12 GHz LFS and a WRA with an interval of 2 cm. In addition, the 5 mm ultra-high spatial resolution capability of the system had been demonstrated through the use of 52 GHz LFS and a WRA with an interval of 5 mm.

In this paper, an optical path difference (OPD) demodulation method is applied to an interferometer array composed of an ultra-weak fiber Bragg grating (UWFBG) array and an imbalanced Michelson interferometer to solve this problem. As far as we know, this is the first time that OPD demodulation has been applied to DAS.

A novel approach, to the best of our knowledge, for Lamb wave sensing using a fiber-optic quasi-distributed acoustic sensing (QDAS) system is proposed. Sensing elements constructed with optical weak reflectors are designed and analyzed, demonstrating the theoretical feasibility of establishing an ultrasonic sensing array comprising over 300 points.

Three micropores were developed on the HWG to achieve distributed detection units. Three self-designed quartz tuning forks (QTFs) with low resonant frequency of 8.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe have proposed and demonstrated a weak acoustic signal detection technology based on phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR). Non-contact acoustic signals transmitting through air gap between the sound source and the receiver are difficult to detect due to fast attenuation. In order to improve the detection ability of non-contact weak acoustic signals, we demonstrate that multi-mode fiber (MMF) is a better solution than single-mode fiber (SMF) benefiting from its larger core and higher Rayleigh backscattering (RBS) capture coefficient.
