This paper presents the application and comparison of a macrobend seismic optical fiber accelerometer and ferrule-top cantilever fiber sensor (made by Optics11 - Amsterdam, Netherlands) both for long distance vibration monitoring. The sensors utilize typical telecommunication optical transmission systems with specially prepared sensing head. Both optical fiber sensors measure force and acceleration similar to the piezoelectric accelerometers. One of the advantages of these devices is insensitivity to electromagnetic interference because of lack of electrically driven elements in sensing head area. Experiments with wide ranges of frequencies and vibration amplitudes were performed. Main parameters and measurement capabilities of both sensor types were compared. Experimental results show usage possibility of both sensor types in industry and other explosion risk environments for vibration measurement and online monitoring.
