Abstract Thunderstorms are a common atmospheric phenomenon that cause abundant acoustic disturbances, which can interact with the ground surface, creating a link between atmospheric and solid Earth processes. This article reports seismological observations of four thunderstorms through the spring and summer of 2019, as recorded by the distributed acoustic sensing fiber-optic array (4.9 km) on the Penn State campus in State College, Pennsylvania. With a dense sensor array in the local region, we are able to construct the seismic full waveform response of the thunderstorm events (hereafter referred to as thunderquakes) and track the wave propagation across the array. We use a time-domain grid search to obtain the back azimuth and slowness of the waves, and a modified Geiger’s method to pinpoint source locations of the thunderquakes. Correlated with the time of the recorded signal, this data allows reconstruction of thunderstorm movement as well as offering measurements of the seismic velocity.

An augmenter viewing system employing a coherent fiber-optic array was developed for use in jet engine testing applications at AEDC. Real-time viewing of the test article afterburner was obtained in a severe environment under high temperature and vibration levels. The optical system consisted of a conventional front-end lens assembly coupled with the fiber-optic array, and a solid-state color video camera mounted inside the test cell. The advantages and problems associated with a fiber-optics-based viewing system will be discussed in comparison with more conventional viewing techniques for this application.

Different spatial separations between an illumination ring and a bundle of 50 collection fibers focused to collect light in the center of the ring were used to investigate the recovery of subsurface Raman spectra. The depth of Raman signal recovery and the preservation of spatial information in the recovered signal were investigated using polymer blocks stacked in different geometries. The illumination rings were then combined into a single data set to increase variation in the signal. Multivariate data analysis was used to recover the Raman spectra of the subsurface component. The Raman spectrum of a Delrin target was recoverable at depths up to 22.6 mm of overlying Teflon. Spatial information was lost at approximately 6.5 mm below the Teflon surface. The same protocols were used to recover canine bone spectra transcutaneously at depths up to 5 mm below the skin's surface. The recovered bone spectra were validated by exposed bone measurements.
