The important parameters such as response functions are calculated theoretically. Because of the advantages of FBG sensing technology, the new FBG geophone has a high dynamic range of 94dB at (10-200 Hz). This new generation of geophones will have wide use in seismic prospecting due to its higher sensitivity, lighter weight, and lower cost.展开更多
