Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology realizes the real-time monitoring of the optical cable or pipeline by using the backward Rayleigh scattering signal in the optical fiber. The technology is based on a phase-sensitive optical time domain reflector (Φ -OTDR) to reconstruct and detect events such as sound or vibration by detecting the backscattering signal generated when coherent pulse light propagating through the optical fiber.
In the optical cable monitoring, the DAS system can accurately restore the sound information around the optical cable, such as vehicles, man-made damage, etc., and filter through the intelligent analysis function, interference signals, to ensure the accurate identification of events.
For pipeline monitoring, DAS technology can simultaneously measure various parameters, such as acoustics, temperature, pressure, strain and hole noise, and quickly and accurately detect and classify leakage events, third-party interference and other threats, providing a strong guarantee for the safe operation of the pipeline.
