Mobile adaptive holographic laser seismometer

详细

A prototype of a mobile laser seismometer based on a multiturn fiber-optic sensitive element and an adaptive holographic interferometer is developed. The possibility of recording weak seismic waves propagating in the “land-sea” interface region by the laser seismometer is shown. The original multiturn design of the sensitive element of the seismometer provides a threshold sensitivity of 1.6 · 10⁻⁷ m/s² to seismic acceleration. The long-term operation stability of the laser seismometer is provided due to adaptive properties of the interferometer constructed using a dynamic hologram formed in the photorefractive bismuth titanate crystal.
