Abstract
A novel distributed sensing technique based on reflectometry is proposed. The technique uses the interference of the light waves backscattered within the resolution range of a reflectometer to detect the optical path changes in a single-mode fiber. Experimental results are presented, and practical realization of an intrusion detector that employs this technique is briefly discussed.
