DIGITAL OPTICAL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION IN A SEISMIC ARRAY

摘要

The invention describes a sensor array with digital signals transmitted over an optical fiber for seismic exploration systems. The seismic system includes a transducer for providing digital optical data signals and an optical interrogator for collecting the digital data. The transducer provides data from seismic sensors to the optical interrogator by acting on an optical carrier transmitted along the optical fiber. The system is designed to utilize known electromechanical seismic sensors with fiber optic telemetry.
