Applications for Enhanced Sensing Fibers
AcoustiSens Wideband Single-Mode Optical Fibers, are vibration sensing fibers and cables with optimal performance for Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) systems. Using a waveguide design based on the ITU-T G.657.A1 telecom-grade single-mode standard, AcoustiSens Wideband Optical Fibers significantly increase Rayleigh backscatter while maintaining low attenuation to improve Optical Signal to Noise Ratio (OSNR). Furthermore, the AcoustiSens Wideband products provide bend-insensitivity and expand the operating bandwidth ensuring interoperability with all known DAS interrogators. AcoustiSens Wideband fibers are intended for use in cables designed as sensing components in DAS systems. Without the need for changes in interrogation equipment or complex optical amplification schemes AcoustiSens Wideband products are drop-in replacements that provide greatly improved sensing performance with OSNR orders of magnitude better than telecom-grade fibers. This translates into significantly improved ASNR in DAS systems. Due to its waveguide design, AcoustiSens products are also bend-insensitive and splice compatible with G.657.A1 and G.652.D optical fibers, assuring smooth integration with commonly deployed sensing solutions.
