1.1.General Introduction and Technology

The Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) system operates as a large-scale, mobile interferometric sensor, capable of detecting dynamic perturbations—such as acoustic waves or mechanical vibrations—along an optical fiber. When an external stimulus induces a localized, time-varying phase shift in the backscattered interferometric signal, DAS enables quantitative measurement of the associated physical phenomena by demodulating the temporal evolution of the optical phase at each fiber location.

DAS technology has been widely adopted in various fields due to its ability to transform standard optical fibers into dense arrays of acoustic sensors without requiring any active components in the field. Typical applications include oil and gas pipeline monitoring for leak detection and third-party interference, perimeter intrusion detection in critical infrastructure security, structural health monitoring of bridges and tunnels, as well as seismic and microseismic data acquisition in geophysical exploration. In all these scenarios, DAS offers real-time, distributed, and cost-effective sensing solutions with meter-level spatial resolution and high sensitivity.
