Dark fiber under SMU (IMAGE)
Caption
Underneath SMU’s well-groomed lawns and red brick buildings are thousands of unused fiber optic cable – “dark fiber” – earmarked for future use. Working with SMU’s Office of Information Technology, Sharma and Arrowsmith are exploiting imperfections in the communication fibers to detect seismic vibrations, both near and far.
