OPTICAL FIBER SENSING SYSTEM, OPTICAL FIBER SENSING METHOD, AND VIBRATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18526798 titled 'OPTICAL FIBER SENSING SYSTEM, OPTICAL FIBER SENSING METHOD, AND VIBRATION DEVICE
The optical fiber sensing system described in the patent application includes an optical fiber, an interrogator connected to the optical fiber, and a vibration device located near the optical fiber. The vibration device gathers weather information specific to its installation location and applies vibrations to the optical fiber based on this data. The interrogator then detects these vibrations through an optical signal received from the fiber, allowing it to determine the weather conditions at the vibration device's installation location.
- The system consists of an optical fiber, interrogator, and vibration device.
- The vibration device collects weather information for its location and applies vibrations to the optical fiber accordingly.
- The interrogator detects these vibrations and determines the weather conditions based on them.
Potential Applications: - Structural health monitoring in buildings and bridges - Environmental monitoring in remote locations - Seismic activity detection in earthquake-prone areas

Original Abstract Submitted
An optical fiber sensing system according to the present disclosure includes an optical fiber, an interrogator connected to the optical fiber, and a vibration device disposed in a vicinity of the optical fiber. The vibration device acquires weather information regarding an installation location of the vibration device, and applies vibration according to the acquired weather information to the optical fiber. The interrogator detects vibration applied to the optical fiber by the vibration device, based on an optical signal received from the optical fiber, and determines weather conditions at the installation location of the vibration device, based on the detected vibration.
