Abstract

We demonstrate a distributed curvature sensor based on quasi-single mode Rayleigh backscattering in few mode fiber(FMF). FMF has a larger mode field than a single mode fiber and is, therefore, more sensitive to bending. In this paper, we combine FMF with Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry (OFDR) mechanism to make full use of the spatial characteristics of quasi-single mode, to obtain high precision and spatial resolution curvature sensing.
