Multi Span Fiber Links refer to optical fiber communication links that span multiple segments or spans, each consisting of a length of optical fiber. These links are used in various communication systems to cover extended distances, and they often employ amplifiers and other signal conditioning devices to maintain signal integrity over the entire transmission path. Multi span fiber links are a fundamental component of long-distance communication networks, providing the infrastructure for interconnecting various locations and facilitating the transmission of data over extended distances
We report the first distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) results over>1,000 km on a field-lab hybrid link using chirped-pulses with correlation detection and 20× frequency-diversity, achieving a sensitivity of 100 pa/√Hz at 20-meters spatial resolution.
