Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS)
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) is a fiber-optic interrogator that delivers continuous (distributed), low-noise quantitative measurements of the optical phase along the entire length of standard telecommunication fibers.
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS)
DAS acts as an array of thousands of microphones/geophones without electrical cables or batteries, allowing for much simpler installation and reduced maintenance costs. DAS integrates both the optical system and the control/processing hardware into a single unit, providing a complete stand-alone solution that can be connected to already installed fiber optic cables. It comes with a software suite that enables full control and customization of measurements, as well as real-time or offline data visualization and processing.
Additional Matlab and Python libraries are available upon request for data management and processing. Real-time data streaming, remote control, and configuration are available via the ZeroMQ protocol.
