Abstract
A fiber phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (a distributed acoustic sensor) with a low-noise output signal in the frequency range of 0.01−1 Hz is proposed for seismology applications. The sensor architecture is based on an unbalanced Mach−Zehnder interferometer, which is used to form a dual-pulse probe signal with required phases of its components and to stabilize the frequency of the laser source in the feedback circuit. The low noise level of the output signal is achieved in the proposed circuit by compensating for the difference in the optical paths of the dual-pulse probe signal fields scattered by different fiber sections. The applicability of the proposed circuit has been experimentally demonstrated by detecting a remote earthquake using a fiber-optic cable located at the bottom of the Black Sea.
期刊介绍：
Instruments and Experimental Techniques is an international peer reviewed journal that publishes reviews describing advanced methods for physical measurements and techniques and original articles that present techniques for physical measurements, principles of operation, design, methods of application, and analysis of the operation of physical instruments used in all fields of experimental physics and when conducting measurements using physical methods and instruments in astronomy, natural sciences, chemistry, biology, medicine, and ecology.
