<p>The present invention provides a seismic sensing system having at least one sensor, transducer, optical source and detection unit, optical fiber and measurement unit. The sensor responds to a seismic disturbance, for providing a sensor signal containing information about the seismic disturbance. The sensor may be a geophone that detects vibrations passing though rocks, soil etc, and provides an electrical voltage sensor signal. The transducer responds to the sensor signal, for providing a transducer force containing information about the sensor signal. The transducer may be a piezoelectric, magnetostrictive or electrostrictive transducer. The optical source provides an optical signal through the fiber. The optical fiber responds to the transducer force, changes an optical parameter or characteristic of the optical signal depending on the change in length of the optical fiber, for providing a transduced optical signal containing information about the transducer force. The optical fiber may have one or more fiber Bragg Gratings therein arranged in relation to the transducer. The measurement unit responds to the transduced optical signal, for providing a measurement unit signal containing information about the seismic disturbance.</p> |
