We present results demonstrating several beneficial effects on distributed fiber optic vibration sensing (DVS) functionality and performance resulting from utilizing standard single mode optical fiber (SMF) with femtosecond laser-inscribed equally-spaced simple scattering dots. This modification is particularly useful when using traditional single-wavelength amplitude-based coherent optical time domain reflectometry (C-OTDR) as sensing method. Local sensitivity is increased in quasi-distributed interferometric sensing zones which are formed by the fiber segments between subsequent pairs of the scattering dots. The otherwise nonlinear transfer function is overwritten with that of an ordinary two-beam interferometer. This linearizes the phase response to monotonous temperature variations. Furthermore, sensitivity fading is mitigated and the demodulation of low-frequency signals is enabled. The modification also allows for the quantitative determination of local temperature gradients directly from the C-OTDR intensity traces. The dots’ reflectivities and thus the induced attenuation can be tuned via the inscription process parameters. Our approach is a simple, robust and cost-effective way to gain these sensing improvements without the need for more sophisticated interrogator technology or more complex fiber structuring, e.g., based on ultra-weak FBG arrays. Our claims are substantiated by experimental evidence.

The article comes up with a measure that uses fiber vibration sensing technology to avoid external intrusion harm on electric cables, dealing with the problem that buried cables are sometimes destroyed by constructions. This measure is based on dual Mach-Zehnder(M-Z) interference, and it makes use of power grids’ fiber-optic cables laid in the cable trench—along with the electric cables—as sensors. These sensors could monitor vibration near to optical cables and trench, and recognize the events that vibrate the cable, and finally judge the extent of the harm caused by the events. The article also try to find out a more reliable and more efficient mechanism of patrolling electric cables, which is based on the abovementioned measure.
