We report on a proof-of-principle work aimed at the development of fast-response fiber-optic accelerometers for seismic monitoring. The system is based on a semiconductor diode-laser source that interrogates a newly devised two-dimensional inertial sensor suitable for measurement of horizontal ground accelerations. Plane acceleration components of the sensor s mass are detected by two fiber Bragg gratings anchored to its structure. Calibration and comparison with a commercial accelerometer are presented. A great potential, in terms of frequency response and sensitivity, is demonstrated in view of possible field applications in active seismic areas.

Abstract
We report on a proof-of-principle work aimed at the development of fast-response fiber-optic accelerometers for seismic monitoring. The system is based on a semiconductor diode-laser source that interrogates a newly devised two-dimensional inertial sensor suitable for measurement of horizontal ground accelerations. Plane acceleration components of the sensor s mass are detected by two fiber Bragg gratings anchored to its structure. Calibration and comparison with a commercial accelerometer are presented. A great potential, in terms of frequency response and sensitivity, is demonstrated in view of possible field applications in active seismic areas.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
