Optical Seismometers & Tiltmeters: New Instruments for Offshore Geophysical Monitoring?

This article discusses the development and performance of optical seismometers and tiltmeters for geophysical monitoring in challenging conditions such as offshore locations, deep boreholes, volcanoes, and mountains. The optical interferometry technology used in these instruments allows for high accuracy displacement measurements and improved stability over time, making them suitable for real-time monitoring of natural hazards. The article also highlights the ongoing LINES project in France, which has developed prototypes of these instruments.

  3. Optical interferometry for measuring displacement Reaches the best accuracies of commercial instruments (<0.1-1 nm), with the advantages + the optical fiber between mechanical sensor and optical system can be several km long + better stability with time (no electronic drift at the sensor) + long fiber insensitive to EM perturbations (lightning, telluric currents, industrial environment, high voltage power lines…) + small size mechanical sensor + sensor less sensitive to high temperature (no electronic component) + sensor simple, robust, and unexpensive Application for natural hazard real time monitoring in difficult environment: far offshore, deep borehole, mountain/volcanoes,…
