نویسنده
چکیده
This paper provides an explanation of the general principles of operation of the Intelligent Distributed Acoustic Sensing technology and focuses on the current areas of interest and applications of this technology within the industry. Currently the technology is mainly used for perimeter monitoring of utility assets and third party intervention monitoring on buried pipelines. In the oil & gas sector distributed acoustic measurements are used in vertical seismic profiling and flow allocation measurements. The paper explores some of current applications of this technology. This paper also explores and provides information that will enable the potential for future applications.

متن کاملDevelopment of a 50mhz Fabry-perot Type Fibre-optic Hydrophone for the Characterisation of Medical Ultrasound Fields
Modern diagnostic medical ultrasound equipment increasingly uses higher frequencies to improve spatial resolution. Higher power ultrasound (US) sources are also being used for therapeutic applications. These higher powered sources cause non-linear propagation of the US within the body and the subsequent harmonic distortion leads to a much wider frequency content of the signal being measured. Ch...
