Abstract: | Application of a fibre-optic Sagnac interferometer as a rotational seismometer is presented in this paper. It is a new device
which parameters (sensitivity equal to 4.3×10−8 rad/s for 2σ) are comparable with the parameters of typical mechanical rotational seismometers. However, a direct measurement
of rotation without influence of linear motions for fibre-optic rotational seismometer designed it for a direct measurement
of a ground rotation component. Experimental data obtained during simultaneous application of the above two types of sensors
are also presented. Research of near-field seismic events, the amplitude of which has been identified in the range of 1.5×10−6 rad/s to 2×10−7 rad/s, shows directly that, so-called, seismic rotational waves exist independently of typical seismic waves generated during
earthquakes. |
