Abstract

A distributed acoustic sensing method that includes sending a sequence of optical pulses along an optical fiber, of at least two different widths, demodulating backscattered light from the optical fiber to obtain interferometric phase measurements as a function of position, combining the interferometric phase measurements to obtain a set of fade-resistant phase measurements, and storing or displaying the set of fade-resistant phase measurements. A distributed acoustic sensing system that includes a transmitter that sends a sequence of optical pulses along an optical fiber, of at least two different widths, a receiver that demodulates backscattered light from the optical fiber to obtain interferometric phase measurements as a function of position and combines interferometric phase measurements to obtain a set of fade-resistant phase measurements, and a storage or display device.
