ANR FIMOPTIC Project
The objective of FIMOPTIC project is to improve the detection and mechanical characterization of the sources of the weak strain signals caused by transient instability of fault zones, which are sometimes precursory to large seismic ruptures.
For this, the optical interferometry technology Fabry-Perot that the team (ESEO, IPGP and ENS) has developed in the last 10 years for high resolution optical instruments (long base tiltmeter, seismometer, and strainmeter),will be used to evaluate its advantages over commercial instruments.
