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 9):
The strain sensing cable of  claim 8 , wherein the cable jacket further comprises:\n a first rib protruding outward away from the second axis in a direction along the first axis, wherein the first optical fiber is embedded within the first rib; and a second rib protruding outward away from the second axis in a direction along the first axis opposite from the first rib, wherein the second optical fiber is embedded within the second rib; wherein the unobstructed field of view of the first optical fiber has an uninterrupted arc angle greater than 270 degrees; wherein the unobstructed field of view of the second optical fiber has an uninterrupted arc angle greater than 270 degrees.
