After describing the basics of distributed fiber optic sensing in general and distributed fiber optic acoustic sensing (DAS) in particular, several currently and previously investigated fields of application of DASin infrastructure monitoring and seismic monitoring are presented. A focus is placed on seismic measurements and DAS measurements determining the dynamic responses of concrete structures to certain stimuli.
The feasibility of traffic monitoring along a major urban road using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is demonstrated. We present measurement results of conventional intensity-based DAS along a dark fiber in a tubed fiber optic cable buried roadside. With only minimal postprocessing different classes of traffic participants can be distinguished (cars, bikes, pedestrians). Different methods for pre-processing raw data are compared, especially with regard to providing suitable inputs for pattern recognition algorithms. Furthermore, the various challenges for automatized vehicle detection and classification related to varying sensitivity and inhomogeneous signal propagation are discussed. Sensitivity fluctuations and variations are in part inherent to the measurement technology and originate in part in ground conditions. The measurement quality and usefulness for traffic monitoring of intensity-based DAS is compared to that of state-of-the-art phase-resolved DAS, allowing quantitative evaluation of vibration signals.

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.
Die verteilte faseroptische akustische Sensorik (DAS) wird vorgestellt, hinsichtlich ihrer Leistungsfähigkeit beschrieben und verschiedenste Anwendungsfelder, z.B. für das Zustandsmonitoring oder für seismische Messungen, beispielhaft gezeigt. Zudem werden mögliche Anwendungsfelder von DAS für den Kontext Kerntechnische Entsorgung (KTE) und Rückbau aufgezeigt.
Anwendungsfelder von verteilter faseroptischer akustischer Sensorik (DAS) werden anhand von früheren, gegenwärtigen und zukünftigen Projekten an der BAM vorgestellt und die Leistungsfähigkeit von DAS demonstriert. Die dargestellten Anwendungen sind Monitoring von Rohrleitungen, von Unterseekabeln, von Zügen und Gleisen, von Brücken, von Strassen und Verkehr, von Erdbebenauswirkungen in urbanen Gebieten, von Bohrlöchern im Kontext Erdgasspeicher und für Exploration und Monitoring von Untergründen für Geothermie-Anwendungen.
Fiber optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is an emerging method for many different monitoring purposes, enabling a spatially and temporally resolved collection of acoustic and vibration information over many kilometers. DAS, thus being a "dynamic" sensing technique, allows for online condition monitoring and the detection and localization of threats or hazards in real time via characteristic acoustic/vibration states and their changes or via occurring anomalous signals, respectively.
At BAM, we have employed this technology for a number of different applications of monitoring of large infrastructures, e.g., bridges, pipelines, submarine power cables or railway tracks. Currently, we are investigating the use of DAS for further innovative uses, which aim at facilitating the energy transition, enabling "smart" infrastructure and providing the basis for comprehensive hazard monitoring and warning systems, respectively. Our research fields include fiber optic borehole monitoring in the context of hydrogen storage caverns, traffic and road monitoring, using DAS for earthquake monitoring in urban areas for disaster management and long-term monitoring of large-scale subsidence caused by mining activities. Another new topic is structural health monitoring in concrete structures in the framework of the FSP Security.
In this talk, we will first briefly present the basics and capabilities of DAS. Then, we will portray our previous and current works related to this technology and show some attractive results. Finally, we will discuss our upcoming projects on exciting new applications of DAS.
