We have focused on the development of a fiber optic BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis) sensor system in order to measure temperature distributed on large structures. Also, we present a feasibility study of the fiber optic sensor to monitor the distributed temperature on a building construction. A fiber optic BOTDA sensor system, which has a capability of measuring the temperature distribution, attempted over several kilometers of long fiber paths. This simple fiber optic sensor system employs a laser diode and two electro-optic modulators. The optical fiber of the length of 1400 m was installed on the surfaces of the building. The change of the distributed temperature on the building construction was well measured by this fiber optic sensor. The temperature changed normally up to 4℃ through one day.

In this paper, to detect external sound frequency on the latticed structure, fiber optic sensor net using Sagnac interferometer was fabricated and tested. The latticed structure fabricated with dimension of 50cm in width and 50cm in height, the optical fiber, 50m in length, distributed and fixed on the latticed structure. Single mode fiber, a laser with 1,550nm in wavelength, 2${\times}$2 coupler were used. External sound signal applied to the fiber optic sensor net and the detected optical signals were compared and analyzed to the detected microphone signals against time and frequency domain. Based on the experimental results, fiber optic sensor net using Sagnac interferometer detected external sound frequency, effectively. This system can be expanded to the structural health monitoring system.

To detect external vibration signals on the latticed fence structure, distributed fiber optic sensor using Sagnac interferometer was fabricated and tested. The latticed structure fabricated with dimension of 170cm in width and 180cm in height, the optical fiber, 50m in length, distributed and fixed on the latticed structure. It was verified the sensitivity of the Sagnac interferometer using the PZT phase modulator. Fiber optic external vibration signal spplied to the latticed fence structure from 100Hz to several kHz. The interferometeric fiber optic sensor detected the excited vibration signal very effectively without any signal processing. The detected optical signals were compared and analyzed to the detected acclerometer signals.

A method for measurement and monitoring of mechanical loads in large slender structures such as wind turbine blade and tower is presented based on continuous strain data obtained from distributed fiber optic sensor. An experimental study was carried out on an aluminum cantilever beam. A static load test was performed and the calculated moment from the distributed fiber optic sensor agree well with the actual applied moment. A series of damages was inflicted on the beam, and vibration tests were carried out for each damage case. The estimated natural frequencies from the distributed fiber optic sensor for each damage case are found to compare well with those from a conventional accelerometer and a numerical analysis based on an energy method.

Fiber optic distributed temperature sensing and thermal line sensor are applied in an observation borehole and a loom deep borehole heat exchanger. For the case of permanently installed system fiber optic DTS is very useful. By comparing with TLS, fiber optic DTS shows good accuracy and reliability. Ground water flow can give influences at heat exchange rate of the heat pump system. According to the hydraulic characteristics and temperature-depth profile, we consider that temperature-depth profile do not seem to be dependent on ground water flow. A permanent installation of fiber optic cable is expected as a reliable temperature measurement technique in a borehole heat exchanger system.

We proposed and demonstrated a distributed fiber-optic overheating detection sensor using optical time domain refrectometry. With increased of temperature the optical fiber is bended by a bi-metal and it result in optical leaky loss of the fiber. The sensor structure is designed in such a way that the signal of overheating is happen when the temperature exceeding a threshold temperature and the optical fiber is protected from excess bending.

Brillouin Optical Frequency Domain Analysis (BOFDA) is a distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) technique that has unique advantages for performance monitoring of piles. However, the complicated production process and harsh operating environment of offshore PHC pipe piles make it difficult to apply this method to pile load testing. In this study, sensing cables were successfully pre-installed into an offshore PHC pipe pile directly for the first time and the BOFDA technique was used for in-situ monitoring of the pile under axial load. High-resolution strain and internal force distributions along the pile were obtained by the BOFDA sensing system. A finite element analysis incorporating the Degradation and Hardening Hyperbolic Model (DHHM) was carried out to evaluate and predict the performance of the pile, which provides an improved insight into the offshore pile-soil interaction mechanism.

Distributed fiber-optic acoustic·vibration sensing technology is becoming increasingly popular in many industrial and academic areas such as in securing large edifices, exploring underground seismic activity, monitoring oil well/reservoir, etc. Long-range perimeter intrusion detection exemplifies an application that not only detects intrusion, but also pinpoints where it happens and recognizes kinds of threats made along the perimeter where a single fiber cable was installed. In this study, we developed a distributed fiber-optic sensing device that measures a distributed acoustic·vibration signature (pattern) for intrusion detection. In addition, we demontrate the proposed deep learning algorithm and how it classifies various intrusion events. We evaluated the sensing device and deep learning algorithm in a practical testbed setup. The evaluation results confirm that the developed system is a promising intrusion detection system for long-distance and seamless recognition requirements.
