科学家在海底电缆上使用激光探测地震和海啸,显示出有希望的成果。 Scientists use lasers on undersea cable to detect earthquakes and tsunamis, showing promising results.

英国-新西兰的一个科学协作机构正在测试澳大利亚和新西兰之间在南十字陆转电缆上的激光技术,以检测地震和海啸。 A UK-New Zealand scientific collaboration is testing laser technology on the Southern Cross NEXT cable between Australia and New Zealand to detect earthquakes and tsunamis. 该系统利用光学干涉测量法,沿电缆发出超稳定光线,并分析返回的信号,以显示可能显示地震活动的变化。 Using optical interferometry, the system sends ultra-stable light along the cable and analyzes returned signals for changes that might indicate seismic activity. 该技术已显示出可喜的成果,包括探测最近发生的7.2级地震,其目的是使预警系统革命化,为挽救生命和减少沿海破坏提供具有成本效益的方法。 The technology, which has shown promising results including detecting a recent 7.2 magnitude earthquake, aims to revolutionize early warning systems, offering a cost-effective way to save lives and reduce coastal damage.
