High-accuracy transient response fiber optic seismic accelerometer using a shock-absorbing ring as a mechanical antiresonator

This study proposes a high-accuracy transient response fiber optic seismic accelerometer based on the resonance suppression mechanism. A shock-absorbing ring is embedded in the accelerometer structure, which acts as a mechanical antiresonator. The experimental results show that the sensitivity at the resonance frequency is suppressed by 21.79 dB, and the 3 dB operating bandwidth is extended without reducing the average sensitivity. Under this condition, the high-accuracy transient response is obtained during the vibration-event test. This study provides a practical seismic acquisition technique solution for vertical seismic profiling monitoring in the smart oilfield.
