Fiber-optic distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) and applications in railway perimeter security

The paper introduces the DAS system based on advanced phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (φ-OTDR) with fading noise suppressed. Besides, the DAS system based on time-gated digital optical frequency domain reflectometry (TGD-OFDR) and its improved systems are introduced. The application of DAS in railway perimeter security is introduced at the end of the paper.
