Abstract
A quasi-distributed acoustic sensor using in-line weak reflectors and a low coherence light source is presented. The dynamic strain is retrieved from the phase change of the two interfering light beams reflected by the same weak reflector. In the experiments, two vibrations at different channels along a weak reflector array are successfully detected simultaneously. A strain resolution of 50 pɛ/$\sqrt {Hz}$ with 20-m interval is achieved in experiments, and no cross talk is observed. With simple system configuration and low cost, this approach provides a new, to the best of our knowledge, solution for quasi-distributed acoustic sensing.
