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.




Abstract:A machine learning approach for improving monitoring in passive optical networks with almost equidistant branches is proposed and experimentally validated. It achieves a high diagnostic accuracy of 98.7% and an event localization error of 0.5m
