We present a distributed fiber optic acoustic sensor technology that could be used to measure and locate leaks within either fluid- or gas-filled distribution lines. For these applications, the optical fiber sensor would be placed inside the pipe and could potentially locate leaks to within several meters by listening to the acoustic emission produced by the fluid or gas as it escapes from the pipe.
