In FY 2013, MagiQ successfully completed a Small Business Innovative Research Phase II award. This project culminated in the third-party testing and evaluation of their optical-based seismic sensor at Sandia National Laboratory’s (SNL) Ground-Based Monitoring Research and Evaluation Center.
MagiQ’s sensor offers a number of important technical advantages: the sensor package does not contain electronic components that are failure-prone at high temperatures, and it can be scaled to hundreds of sensors deployed on a single optical fiber. Preliminary results show sub-Hz to multi-kHz frequency response, with sensitivity less than 10 ng/Hz1/2 (up to 1 kHz), sampling rates up to 10 MHz, with a dynamic range of 80 decibels.
