Accurate Multi-perturbation Localization in Optical Fibers with Polarization-based Forward Sensing
We present a method to accurately localize multiple perturbations from fiber outputs. We cross-correlate received polarizations between two wavelengths, apply peak detection, and interpolate peaks to boost accuracy. We localize five simultaneous perturbations in a 10 GSa/s numerical fiber model with 3.5 m median error.
