Fiber optic vibration sensor for soil measurement
In this paper, various technologies of distributed fiber-optic vibration sensing are reviewed, from interferometric sensing technology, such as Sagnac, Mach–Zehnder, and Michelson, to backscattering-based sensing technology, such as phase-sensitive optical time domain. Fiber optic vibration sensors that use existing fiber optic cables laid for communication have the advantage of being able to collectively and accurately measure vibrations over a wide range along the cables1), 2), and in recent years, they have been attracting attention as a means of environmental. Optical parameters such as light intensity, phase, polarization state, or light frequency will change when external vibration is applied on the sensing fiber. The response of the DAS system to external vibrations varies with different types of fiber optic cable connections. A dual-purpose single mode optical fiber sensor was developed for simultaneous soil moisture and structural health monitoring.
