Abstract:
A strain sensing optical fiber cable is provided. The cable includes at least one optical fiber embedded in the cable jacket such that vibrations from the environment are transmitted into the cable jacket to the optical fiber. The cable is configured in a variety of ways, including through spatial arrangement of the sensing fibers, through acoustic impedance matched materials, through internal vibration reflecting structures, and/or through acoustic lens features to enhance sensitivity of the cable for strain/vibration detection/monitoring.

Claim (Index 7):
The strain sensing cable of  claim 1 , wherein, when viewed in cross-section taken perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the cable jacket, the first optical fiber has an unobstructed field of view to an outer surface of the cable jacket that has an uninterrupted arc angle greater than 180 degrees, and the second optical fiber has an unobstructed field of view to the outer surface of the cable jacket that has an uninterrupted arc angle greater than 180 degrees.
