Frequency scanned phase sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry interrogation in multimode optical fibers
Standard multimode optical fibers normally support transmission over some 100 modes. Large differences in the propagation constant and the spatial distribution of distinct modes degrade the performance of phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry measurements. In this work, we present a new...

| description | Standard multimode optical fibers normally support transmission over some 100 modes. Large differences in the propagation constant and the spatial distribution of distinct modes degrade the performance of phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry measurements. In this work, we present a new realization of a coherent time-domain interrogation technique using single-mode operation in multimode fibers. We demonstrate effectively distributed strain sensing on three different multimode optical fibers. Up to 4 km of multimode fiber has been correctly interrogated, featuring a spatial resolution of 20 cm. |
