    摘要: This application describes methods and apparatus for fiber optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) where microstructured fiber (202), such as holey fiber or photonic crystal fiber is used as the sensing fiber (104). The microstructured fiber is configured so to provide at least one of enhanced sensitivity to a given incident acoustic signal; an enhanced non-linear optical power threshold and directional sensitivity. By configuring the microstructured fiber to be more compliant than an equivalent solid fiber and/or provide a large refractive index variation in response to applied strain, the response to a given acoustic stimulus may be larger than for the equivalent fiber, Providing a hollow core may allow higher optical powers and by providing a directionality to microstructured (304) allows the fiber to be used in a DAS system with a directional response.

    摘要: A method of sensing using a phase based transducer in which a transducer response is provided at multiple different levels of sensitivity. The different levels of sensitivity are used to produce an output which does not overscale across a wide range of signal levels. This is particularly useful for use in conjunction with multiplexed arrays of fibre optic sensors for seismic surveying. Methods of sensor calibration and noise reduction are also described.

    摘要: A method of interrogating a phase based transducer by providing a pulsed input including two different wavelengths in which the different wavelength components can be used to derive a phase change experienced by a synthetic wavelength, and by arranging for the synthetic wavelength to be significantly greater that the component wavelengths, the phase so detected has a reduced sensitivity, and is less susceptible to overscaling effects.

    摘要: Interrogation of a phase based transducer is performed by comparing the state of the transducer at two points in time to determine the rate of change with time of the measurand represented as a phase change. The rate of change, or derivative of the phase change typically has a much smaller amplitude than the signal itself, and the derivative measurement can therefore be thought of as a low sensitivity measurement to be used instead of or in combination with the normal signal measurement having higher sensitivity. In this way, large amplitude signals which might otherwise be subject to overscaling effects can be measured more effectively. For a signal with the majority of its energy centred at approximately 800 Hz, for example, the derivative of that signal will typically be attenuated by 60 dB with a period between the two measurement times of 200 ns.

    摘要: Interrogation of a phase based transducer is performed by temporally overlapping and interfering a single pulse output from the transducer to determine the rate of change with time of the measurand represented as a phase change. The rate of change, or derivative of the phase change typically has a much smaller amplitude than the signal itself, and the derivative measurement therefore has reduced sensitivity. In this way, large amplitude signals which might otherwise be subject to overscaling effects can be measured more effectively.
