Abstract
We experimentally report a normalized differential signal processing technique to improve the signal-To-noise ratio (SNR) of a fiber optic distributed acoustic sensor (DAS), in the time-domain. The introduced method is calibrated through comparing it with the typical differential method when using a noisy DAS system that includes a relatively wide linewidth laser. For this system, the normalized differential method allows measuring the vibration locations, produced by a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) cylinder, with enhanced SNR.
