Optical fibers can act as sensor for strain or temperature through the properties, such as scattering, mode-coupling, and so on. By applying ways to analyze distribution of such properties along the fiber, “distributed sensing” can be realized.

For geo-science applications, it is required to monitor the earth’s deformation continuously at locations as many as possible with a resolution better than 10 nano-strains (nε), which corresponds to the crustal deformation induced by oceanic tide. Traditionally, sensors such as extensometers and laser strain-meters installed underground are used for this purpose.
