This paper introduces a new bidirectional integration approach that combines fiber sensor/free space optics (FSO) communication using an intensity and wavelength division multiplexer (IWDM) techniques-based long-distance fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor . Fundamental Principles of Fiber Sensing Understanding this revolution requires grasping fiber sensing's principles: External physical parameters (temperature, pressure, strain, etc. The integration of high-speed optical communication and distributed sensing could bring intelligent functionalities to ubiquitous optical fibre networks, such as urban structure imaging, ocean seismic detection, and safety monitoring of underground embedded pipelines.

Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) systems detect strain changes and vibrations along optical fibers. This highly sensitive technology is used for monitoring critical infrastructure such as power cables, pipelines, or railroad tracks. DAS illuminates an optical fiber with laser pulses and measures the backscattered wave due to small random variations in the. It has many unique advantages, including, large coverage, high time-and-space resolution, convenient implementation, strong environment.

Fibre networks are the foundation of the twin transitions (green and digital) of our society, providing sustainable and cost-efficient communication with high bandwidth, stability, reliability and reduced latency, enabling a sustainable economic growth through advanced services. Fiber optic performance has doubled every 6 months for 50 years – there is no sign of that trend slowing down. It can also be run in electrically noisy environments deprived of any concern as electrical noise will not affect fiber. The information transmitted is essentially digital information generated by telephone systems, cable television companies, and computer systems.

Recent advances in Distributed Optical Fiber Sensing (DOFS) technologies, particularly Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis (BOTDA) and Rayleigh Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (ROTDR), have opened new pathways for real-time, high-resolution monitoring in mining. The methodology involves embedding the sensing fiber into boreholes within the overlying strata and employing grouting to achieve effective coupling with the rock mass, a critical step that restores the in situ geological environment and ensures measurement reliability. Precise monitoring and early warning of these factors are essential for disaster prevention and control. A critical aspect of this management is ground control, focusing on addressing rock instabilities that arise from the mining processes and ore removal. In an era where mining operations strive to balance economic growth with safety and efficiency, the integration of Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) technology is reshaping the industry.
