Principle of Fiber Optic Acoustic Wave Sensing System
Distributed acoustic sensing relies on light which is Rayleigh backscattered from small variations in the of the fiber. This highly sensitive technology is used for monitoring critical infrastructure such as power cables, pipelines, or railroad tracks. Fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) promises great application prospects in smart grids due to its superior capabilities, including resistance to electromagnetic interference, long-distance coverage, high sensitivity and real-time monitoring.
