A proprietary fibre optic sensing technology has been developed and is capable of simultaneously utilising an existing fibre optic communication cable as an integrity-testing sensing cable, thus providing continuous, real-time monitoring of the fibre cable and any structure near the cable (ie., ground, tunnels, ducts, pipes, buildings, equipment, vessels, etc.). With this system, simultaneous fibre optic communications and real-time vibration monitoring was demonstrated using a wavelength multiplexed fibre system for a channel bandwidth of 500 MHz over 18 km of standard singlemode fibre. Real-time vibration monitoring was also demonstrated using standard singlemode and multimode fibre over lengths of 28 km and 53 km, respectively. Trials of the system are currently underway in Australia and the first commercial field installation with this capability is to be completed in mid-1998 in Indonesia. This paper highlights the benefits and potential of this dual-capacity system and details results obtained to-date.

Fibre optic infrastructures are very important, and therefore, it is necessary to protect them from fibre cuts. Most fibre cuts are caused by digging activity, and many network operators seek appropriate solutions enabling detection of possible unexpected events (predict these cuts) and subsequent network outages. In most cases, there is no need to locate events, and only information regarding the occurrence of the event is sufficient. Direct detection-based distributed fibre optic sensing systems appear to be an appropriate solution, allowing digging to be detected before the fibre breaks. The average power of such signals is relatively small, and there is no interference with other signals in the fibre. We performed laboratory measurements to compare the sensitivity and accuracy of interferometric and polarization systems for acoustic vibrations. In the case of interferometric systems, the reference and sensing arms were in the same cable, and both were subjected to acoustic vibrations.
