Abstract
Long-range vibration sensing is an important tool for real-time structural health monitoring. A new, to the best of our knowledge, design of a distributed fiber-optic vibration sensor is introduced and experimentally demonstrated in this study. The proposed system utilizes the transmission of light in the forward direction for sensing, and a self-interference method for laser source simplification. To extract vibration information from phase modulation of light, two Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) are employed with a 3 × 3 coupler-based differential cross multiplication algorithm for phase calculation. A folded double-ended detection configuration allows the time-of-flight difference via cross correlation (CC) to provide vibration positioning. Experimental results demonstrate a sensing range of up to ∼80 km without optical amplification, accompanied by a position accuracy of 336 m.
