“…Optical reflectometry technologies, including optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ], optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 ], and optical coherent domain reflectometry (OCDR) [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ], have been widely used in the monitoring of fiber link and distributed sensing applications. The OTDR simply measures the round-trip time of reflection and Rayleigh backscattering (RBS) of the probe pulse.…”
