AbstractPhase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (Ф-OTDR) is an effective way to detect vibrations and acoustic waves with high sensitivity, by interrogating coherent Rayleigh backscattering light in sensing fiber. In particular, fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) based on the Ф-OTDR with phase demodulation has been extensively studied and widely used in intrusion detection, borehole seismic acquisition, structure health monitoring, etc., in recent years, with superior advantages such as long sensing range, fast response speed, wide sensing bandwidth, low operation cost and long service lifetime. Significant advances in research and development (R&D) of Ф-OTDR have been made since 2014. In this review, we present a historical review of Ф-OTDR and then summarize the recent progress of Ф-OTDR in the Fiber Optics Research Center (FORC) at University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC), which is the first group to carry out R&D of Ф-OTDR and invent ultra-sensitive DAS (uDAS) seismometer in China which is elected as one of the ten most significant technology advances of PetroChina in 2019. It can be seen that the Ф-OTDR/DAS technology is currently under its rapid development stage and would reach its climax in the next 5 years.

Submarine Cables

<p>The oceans present a major gap in geophysical instrumentation, hindering fundamental research on submarine earthquakes and the Earth’s interior structure, as well as effective earthquake and tsunami warning for offshore events. Emerging fiber-optic sensing technologies that can leverage submarine telecommunication cables present an new opportunity in filling the data gap. Marra et al. (2018) turned a 96 km long submarine cable into a sensitive seismic sensor using ultra-stable laser interferometry of a round-tripped signal. Another technology, Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS), interrogates intrinsic Rayleigh backscattering and converts tens of kilometers of dedicated fiber into thousands of seismic strainmeters on the seafloor (e.g., Lindsey et al., 2019; Sladen et al., 2019; Williams et al., 2019; Spica et al., 2020). Zhan et al. (2021) successfully sensed seismic and water waves over a 10,000 km long submarine cable connecting Los Angeles and Valparaiso, by monitoring the polarization of regular optical telecommunication channels. However, these new technologies have substantially different levels of sensitivity, coverage, spatial resolution, and scalability. In this talk, we advocate that strategic combinations of the different sensing techniques (including conventional geophysical networks) are necessary to provide the broadest coverage of the seafloor while making high-fidelity, physically interpretable measurements. Strategic collaborations between the geophysics community and telecommunication community without burdening the telecomm operation (e.g., by multiplexing or using regular telecom signals) will be critical to the long term success.</p><p> </p><p>Marra, G., C.

Abstract Hybrid wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) and free space optical (FSO) access networks are getting great attention due to numerous advantages. In this work, hybrid WDM-FSO system is demonstrated for 55 km at capacity of 5 × 10 Gbit/s using compressed spectrum return to zero (CSRZ) WDM-FSO in downstream and nonreturn to zero (NRZ) in upstream for demonstrating transmitter diversity which inturn decrease the interchannel interference. For the suppression of Rayleigh backscattering (RB) interferometric beat noise, bidirectional cyclic multiplexer is employed. Cyclic multiplexer provide λ 1 to λ 5 wavelengths for optical line terminal (OLT) to ONU transmission and λ 2 to λ 6 for ONU to OLT transmission. Insertion losses of each component are considered and in the end, power budget is also calculated. Results revealed that FSO length of 780–1050 m are obtained using various WDM-FSO downstream signals and their power budget, redundant budget, maximum distance, and insertion losses also calculated.

Phase Generated Carrier

An improved phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry (φ-OTDR) system with sub-meter spatial resolution is demonstrated. Two Michelson interferometers (MIs) with different path length differences are used in the proposed system. One is 10 m, the other is 9.2 m. Two Rayleigh backscattering phase traces with different spatial resolution are obtained by a phase generated carrier (PGC) algorithm at adjacent times. After using differencing and adaptive 2-D bilateral filtering algorithms, a 0.8-m spatial resolution over 2 km is achieved. Experimental results indicate that the system shows an extraordinary linearity as high as 99.94% with amplitude-modulation and acquires a detection frequency from 5 to 500 Hz.

In the coherent PHI-OTDR system, the phase signal is retrieved based on the reference point and the observation point which are off and closer to the two sides of step of the phase change. In the experiment, the optical pulse with the changed peak power, width or shape is injected into the fiber for interrogating the change of the quantitative characteristic of the measured phase signal. When the pulse width is fixed at 200 ns and its peak power is adjusted from 14 dBm to -23 dBm, the amplitude is slightly increased from 17.3575 rad to 17.4411 rad as long as the Rayleigh backscattering signal can be found in the electrical signal. Changing the pulse width from 260 ns to 80 ns when the peak power is fixed at 14 dBm, the maximum amplitude and the minimum amplitude of the measured phase signal are 17.4625 rad to 17.4509 rad, respectively. When the arbitrary shape of the optical pulse generated from the MZI structure with a changed delay fiber from 3 m to 6 m, the amplitude varies from 17.4558 rad to 17.4819 rad. For every measurement, the change of frequency is also small. And the small value of standard deviation supports the accuracy of the measurement. All the measurements show that the changed pulse nearly has no impact on the quantitative characteristic of the measured phase signal in the coherent PHI-OTDR system. Moreover, we also find that the phase signal of external event can be correctly extracted as long as the Rayleigh backscattering signal can be detected.<br>
