Abstract:
A system for ocean bottom sensing for performing geological survey. Herein the system comprising a cable further comprising a cable jacket ( 9 ), at least one optical fiber ( 6 ), and a plurality of detectors enclosed by the cable jacket ( 9 ). The latter including at least a first and a second detector ( 1, 2 ), the at least first and second detector ( 1, 2 ) comprising at least one intrinsic fiber optic sensor ( 3 x,  3 y,  3 z,  3 h,  3 g,  3 t ). The detectors are communicatively connected to the at least one optical fiber ( 6 ) for allowing interrogation of the intrinsic fiber optic sensors ( 3 x,  3 y,  3 z,  3 h,  3 g,  3 t ) and the cable jacket ( 9 ) has substantially a same cross-sectional diameter (D) and same outer shape at the at least first and second detector ( 1,2 ) and in between said first and second detector ( 1,2 ).

Claim (Index 12):
A method for performing geological survey, the method comprising:\n releasing an ocean bottom sensing system from a vessel, the system including a cable; and installing the system at an ocean bottom; wherein the cable comprises:\n a cable jacket; \n one or more optical fibers; and \n at least a first detector and second detector enclosed by the cable jacket, the at least first and second detectors comprising at least one intrinsic fiber optic sensor, wherein each detector communicates with one of the one or more optical fibers, such as to, via the one optical fiber, receiving an interrogation signal and returning a response signal, for enabling interrogation of the at least intrinsic fiber optic sensor, wherein the cable jacket has a first cross-sectional diameter and substantially same outer shape at the at least first and second detectors and in between the first and second detectors, wherein installing of the cable comprises using density variations in the cable for preferential coupling of sections containing the first and second detectors to the ocean bottom.
