Subsea Cable Condition Monitoring With Distributed Optical Fiber Vibration Sensor

Miniature multicore optical fiber vibration sensor.

We demonstrate a compact and versatile interferometric vibration sensor that operates in reflection mode. To build the device, a short segment of symmetric strongly coupled multicore optical fiber (MCF) is fusion spliced to a single-mode optical fiber (SMF). One end of the MCF segment is cleaved and placed in a cantilever position. Due to the SMF-MCF configuration, only two supermodes are excit...

Feature Extraction and Identification in Distributed Optical-Fiber Vibration Sensing System for Oil Pipeline Safety Monitoring

High sensitivity of a distributed optical-fiber vibration sensing (DOVS) system based on the phase-sensitivity optical time domain reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) technology also brings in high nuisance alarm rates (NARs) in real applications. In this paper, feature extraction methods of wavelet decomposition (WD) and wavelet packet decomposition (WPD) are comparatively studied for three typical field t...

A Fiber Optical Sensor For Non–Contact Vibration Measurements

Vibration tests are widely employed in many industrial fields, and in particular in aerospace industry to evaluate the mechanical behavior of parts for aircrafts and satellites. Usually, these tests are carried out with shakers, while inertial accelerometers are used to measure the shaker table acceleration from which the vibration amplitude is computed. Some applications require the measuremen...
