A phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer based on coherent heterodyne detection of geometric phase in the beat signal of light, is reported for the first time to our knowledge. The use of the geometric phase to extract strain makes it immune to polarisation diversity fading. This is because a polarisation mismatch between the interfering beams is not a hindrance to its measurement. The geometric phase is calculated using the amplitude of the beat signal and individual beam intensities without any need for phase unwrapping. It is measured per beat period and can be equated with the traditionally measured dynamic phase with appropriate scaling. The results show that the system based on the geometric phase successfully measures strain, free from polarisation mismatch fading and phase unwrapping errors, providing a completely novel solution to these problems.
Geometric phase measured per beat period in a ϕ-OTDR based on coherent heterodyne detection is used to measure strain. Proposed method is robust to polarisation mismatch fading as a polarisation mismatch between interfering beams is not a hindrance to the measurement of the geometric phase. The Geometric phase is a function of the intensities of the interfering beams as well as the envelope of the beat signal. Its calculation does not require phase unwrapping and accordingly does not suffer the phase unwrapping errors. It is required to be equated with the traditionally measured phase by applying a scaling factor. The spatial resolution of the measured strain is reduced as it is calculated per beat period. Results are verified using a piezo-electric transducer inline a fiber-under-test.
A novel DAS setup based on geometric phases in coherent heterodyne detection is applied for the first time to the characterisation of the Earth’s subsurface. In addition, an optimisation of the proposed setup in terms of its spatial resolution is also presented for the first time. The surface waves are generated by strong blasts of 25 kg of explosives at a dedicated test site. A 10 km dark fiber link in the vicinity of the test site connected to the test setup records the resulting strain signals. The spike-free and low-noise strain data thus obtained minimize post-processing requirements, making the setup a candidate for real-time seismic monitoring. An analysis of the dispersion characteristics of the generated surface waves is performed using a recently reported optimised seismic interferometric technique. Based on the dispersion characteristics, the shear wave velocities of the surface waves as a function of the depth profile of the Earth’s crust are determined using an optimised evolutionary algorithm.
The geometric phase in the beat signal from coherent interference of two frequency-offset light beams is measured using a novel distributed optical fiber sensing setup. In a fiber optic medium, with changing beam intensities, to the best of our knowledge, ours is the first measurement of the mentioned geometric phase. Experimental results of applying a 100-Hz sinusoidal stimulus to a polarization scrambler and a piezoelectric transducer inline to an optical fiber are presented. The results may enable novel distributed fiber sensing techniques.
