Real-Time Diverse Fiber Sensing Multi-Event Detection using Phase OTDR Measurements
arXiv:2511.06922 · doi:10.1364/OFC.2025.M3Z.8
Abstract
We demonstrate an experimental phase optical time-domain reflectometry (OTDR) system capable of simultaneous detection and classification of various environmental events, such as wind-induced fiber movement, vehicle movement, and audio signatures, with real-time visualization.
