Detection of Seismic Wave with Laser Interferometer

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a seismic wave detection process using a laser interferometer as a seismometer. The laser interferometer system is an important equipment with its remarkable accurate capability for displacement measurement. During the process of the seismic wave measurement, however, environmental and nonlinearity error are occurred in a heterodyne laser interferometer. Through the extended Kalman filter compensation, the distortion is reduced. With a recursive STA/LTA algorithm, the PS-time of the seismic wave is determined and then the epicenter distance can be derived. Through some simulations, it is demonstrated that the proposed algorithm can reduce error factors and improve the measurement accuracy of a seismometer.
