Fiber optic intrusion sensor with the configuration of an optical time-domain reflectometer using coherent interference of Rayleigh backscattering

The optical fiber intrusion sensor is investigated in the configuration of an optical time domain reflectometer using coherent interference of Rayleigh backscattering in a single mode fiber. When the modulation pulse width was 4 usec, the spatial resolution of this intrusion sensor was about 400m, the signal to noise ratio was about 3.3 and the bandwidth was about 30.5Hz.
