Measurement of underwater acoustic wave using optical distributed acoustic sensing based on space difference
To detect weak underwater acoustic signal over large areas
an optical Distributed Acoustic Sensing(DAS) scheme based on space difference of Rayleigh backscattering was presented. In this scheme
Rayleigh backscattered light with phase changes induced by the acoustic signal along a single-mode sensing fiber was split and fed into an imbalanced Michelson interferometer. Adjusting the path difference of the imbalanced Michelson interferometer
the Rayleigh backscattered light interference of different lengths of adjacent space segments along the sensing fiber was realized. Subsequently
the phase information including the acoustic signal was demodulated by the 3×3 coupler demodulation technology. An underwater acoustic wave measuring system based on DAS was implemented
which can not only locate the two acoustic positions accurately in real time
but also restore the amplitude
frequency and phase of sound waves. In addition
the acoustic phase sensitivity is -148.8 dB(re rad/μPa) at 1 kHz
and the frequency response flatness at frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 1 500 Hz is within 1.2 dB. The experimental results confirm that the novel Φ-OTDR technology can enable quantitative measurements of multiple acoustic information in real time.
