    摘要: The present invention provides an optical fiber sensor for traffic monitoring, which comprises a former consisting of an elongated plate, and an optical fiber wound onto at least one surface of the elongated plate. The elongated plate is flexible in a direction transverse to the at least one predetermined property of an optical signal transmitted through the optical fiber sensor. The resulting sensor has a reduced depth which makes it easier to locate within the surface of a traffic route, has increased flexibility to enable to confirm to the surface of the traffic route, and has good cross axis sensitivity rejection.

    摘要: This application describes methods and apparatus for distributed acoustic sensing providing enhanced sensitivity for certain acoustic signals. The method uses a fibre optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) apparatus (106) to detect acoustic signals wherein the fibre optic distributed acoustic sensor comprises at least one optical fibre (104) deployed in an area of interest (204) such that at least one section of said optical fibre is deployed to monitor the acoustic response of a cavity (206) to incident acoustic signals. The cavity is dimensioned such that the cavity resonates at a desired frequency and thus the relevant sensing portions of the DAS sensor show an enhanced response to acoustic signals which excite resonance in the cavity. The optical fibre (104) may be deployed to run through said cavity.

    摘要: This application relates to methods and apparatus for monitoring hydraulic fracturing in well formation and fracture characterisation using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). The method involves interrogating a optic fibre (102) arranged down the path of a bore hole (106) to provide a distributed acoustic sensor and also monitoring flow properties of fracturing fluid pumped (114) into the well. The acoustic data from the distributed acoustic sensor is processed together with the flow properties data to provide an indication of at least one fracture characteristic.

    摘要: The invention relates to a distributed fibre optic sensor (104, 106) having a first spatial resolution (301, 303) and a second, different, spatial resolution (302, 304). The sensor, which may be a distributed acoustic sensor, has an optical source (112) configured to interrogate an optical fibre (104) with optical radiation and a detector (116) configured to detected optical radiation back-scattered from within the fibre. A processor (108) is configured to process the detected back-scatter radiation to provide a plurality of longitudinal sensing portions of fibre. The optical source and processor are adapted to provide the first and second spatial resolutions, for instance by changing the duration and/or separation of the optical pulses and analysis bins. The first and second spatial resolutions may be provided sequentially or simultaneously and the spatial resolution used may be varied as part of a default pattern or in response to a detection event.

    摘要: A feedback control circuit and method for controlling laser frequency employing an interferometric phase sensor which accepts a light output from a laser and combines a phase modulated version of the light output, with an unmodulated version. By modulating only one component of the signal in the interferometric sensor, the improved noise characteristics are obtained, while demodulation can be performed relatively easily and cheaply. Methods and enclosures for reducing ambient noise in an interferometer or the delay coil thereof are also described.
