Real-Time Diverse Fiber Sensing Multi-Event Detection using Phase OTDR Measurements

Signal Processing 2025-11-11 v1

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.
