Ultra-long Distance Distributed Intrusion Detecting System Assisted With In-line Amplification by Macheng Lai, Kuan Peng, Yiyang Luo, Xiaolei Li, Yanpeng Li, Fan Ai, Deming Liu, Qizhen Sun

“…First, through introducing multiple bidirectional amplifiers into the unbalanced Mach–Zehnder/Sagnac interferometer-based fiber sensing link, the sensing distance is remarkably extended, and second, the signal-to-noise ratio of this sensing system is significantly improved from less than 2 to 6–8 dB by coating the sensing fiber with organic silicone polymer. Furthermore, the high-order downtrend fitting function is adopted to implement the intrusion locating of ultralong distance sensing; the zero-padding fast Fourier transform algorithm and multiple-averaging method are jointly utilized for the improvement of the locating accuracy. …”
