That Was Then, This Is Now: Fiber Optic Cables Find New Use as Seismic Sensors
BERKELEY and STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 11, 2017 — The decade that gave us the Sony PlayStation also gave us dark fiber – an excess of optical fiber cables installed underground, mostly in the 90s, before advances in data transmission reduced the need for all those cables. Now, research teams on the quake-prone West Coast of the U.S. are putting dark fiber optic cables to use as sensor arrays for seismic monitoring. Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and Stanford University have shown that dark
