Study of Submarine Optical Fiber Cable Detection by Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Sonar

Abstract:

This paper first analyses the requirements of submarine optical fiber cable (SOFC) maintenance detection, then analyses the principle of the existing maintenance detection technology and these limitations briefly. On the basis of this, introduces SOFC detection system by synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) which is produced by Army research center of SOFC technology, and puts forward a new type of SOFC detection systeminterferometric synthetic aperture sonar (InSAS) detection system, analyzes its feasibility and advantage for detecting SOFC, and points out existing problems and future research direction.
