Abstract

We present, to our knowledge for the first time, the possibility of measuring the backscatter signal of perfluorinated polymer optical fibers (POF) using an incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technique. The OFDR setup is described and it is shown that the dynamic range and measurement speed are superior to standard OTDR systems. It is shown for the first time that distributed detection of strain in POF is possible using the OFDR technique.
