We introduce the optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technique based on intensity modulation frequency sweep measurement for distributed disturbance measurement in optical fibres. By evaluating interferometric Rayleigh scattering changes along the fibre, strain and temperature changes are detected with 100 n(epsilon) sensitivity and 10 mK resolution. The vibration frequencies for low frequencies and up to the kHz-range can be obtained from power change evaluation in the spatial domain. This novel OFDR approach is a low-cost alternative for distributed disturbance measurement up to distances of several kilometres.
Monitoring of construction projects plays increasingly important role in the implementation of growing needs and requirements, especially in geologically difficult areas. This particularly concerns tunnelling and special civil engineering projects. The use of fiber optic sensors for structural health monitoring provides significant economic advantages regarding lower life-cycle costs of the civil infrastructure. We present our achievements in the development of distributed polymer optical fiber sensors based on Rayleigh and Brillouin scattering for early damage detection.
