UW Imaging of Seismic-Physical-Models in Air Using Fiber-Optic Fabry-Perot Interferometer

Abstract

Abstract:A fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) has been proposed and demonstrated for the ultrasound wave (UW) imaging of seismic-physical models. The sensor probe comprises a single mode fiber (SMF) that is inserted into a ceramic tube terminated by an ultra-thin gold film. The probe performs with an excellent UW sensitivity thanks to the nanolayer gold film, and thus is capable of detecting a weak UW in air medium. Furthermore, the compact sensor is a symmetrical structure so that it presents a good directionality in the UW detection. The spectral band-side filter technique is used for UW interrogation. After scanning the models using the sensing probe in air, the two-dimensional (2D) images of four physical models are reconstructed.

“…When the laser power was increased from 0 to 10 W in the experiment, the ultrasonic signal increased. It fluctuated in a small range when the ultrasonic signal increased to its maximum value. − The detected ultrasonic signals are shown in Figure c, and its peak voltage was plotted as a function of the laser power, as presented in Figure a. As shown, the ultrasonic voltage exhibited a linear relationship with the laser power, which is consistent with the theoretical simulation.…”

“…Many studies were carried out with diaphragms with different geometric dimensions and made of different materials (Sun et al, 2007, Chin et al, 2007. The sensors spread over an extensive area such as biomedical (Poeggel et al, 2015), gas detection (Gong et al, 2018), underwater applications (Wang et al, 2014), infrasound (Liao et al, 2017), and ultrasound applications (Rong et al, 2017), acoustics , pressure (Xu et al, 2012), acoustic pressure (Cheng et al, 2015), partial discharge in power transformers (Deng et al, 2001). These sensors consist of a fiber end surface and a diaphragm sensitive to the acoustic signal (Hayber et al, 2018).…”

Highly Sensitive Photoacoustic Imaging: A New Strategy for Ultrahigh Spatial Resolution Seismic Physical Model Imaging

“…Nevertheless, nearly all the contrast agents are designed for bio-applications, where the agents are required to show low toxicity and immunogenicity, high target affinity and specificity, and high biocompatibility. An excellent photoacoustic contrast agent for SPM imaging should possess photophysical properties of low quantum yield, high molar-extinction coefficient, broadband light absorption, and excellent photostability as well as low cost, low environmental footprint [27], [28]. There are some common materials that can be potentials for SPM imaging, such as polymer nanoparticle-based materials, rubber and regular carbon fiber.…”
