Experience in synchronous observation of seismic-strain oscillations of the Earth by the spaced laser interferometers

Abstract

The first results of unique experiments on the synchronous registration of seismic-strain oscillations of the Earth’s surface by three laser interferometers-deformographs (strainmeters) spaced 6740 km apart are presented. Two 100-meter laser interferometers at the Fryazino site (Moscow Region) and the 18-meter laser strainmeter at the observation point of Karymshina (Kamchatka Peninsula) were applied. The frequency-stabilized and thermally controlled lasers and the interferogram registration systems of compensation and modulation types providing an absolute instrumental resolution of 0.1-0.01 nm were used. The results of data analysis in sessions of synchronous operation of these instruments during 2016-2020 were obtained and discussed.
