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 17):
A strain sensing cable comprising:\n a jacket defining a central horizontal axis, a central vertical axis and an outermost surface of the cable; a first tensile strength element embedded in the jacket located on a first side of the vertical axis; a second tensile strength element embedded in the jacket located on a second side of the vertical axis opposite the first side; a first optical fiber embedded within the jacket and located on the first side of the vertical axis such that the first tensile strength element is located between the first optical fiber and the vertical axis; and a second optical fiber embedded within the jacket and located on the second side of the vertical axis such that the second tensile strength element is located between the second optical fiber and the vertical axis.
