Traffic Vibration Signal Analysis of DAS Fiber Optic Cables with Different Coupling Based on an Improved Wavelet Thresholding Method.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a novel technology that uses fiber optics to sense and monitor vibrations. It has demonstrated immense potential for various applications, including seismology research, traffic vibration detection, structural health inspection, and lifeline engineering. DAS technology transforms long sections of fiber optic cables into a high-density array of vibration sensors, providing exceptional spatial and temporal resolution for real-time monitoring of vibrations.

Aircraft Detection Using Phase-Sensitive Optical-Fiber OTDR.

Aircraft detection plays a vital role in aviation management and safe operation in the aviation system. Phase-Sensitive Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (Φ-OTDR) technology is a prevailing sensing method in geophysics research, structure inspection, transportation detection, etc. Compared with existing video- or radio-based detection methods, Φ-OTDR is cost-effective, suitable for long-distance detection, and resistant to severe weather conditions.
