Abstract: A method implemented in a transmission apparatus used in an optical fiber communications system for a polarization switched differential quaternary phase-shift keying (DQPSK) signal is disclosed. The method comprises splitting data into two or more data streams, inputting said two or more data streams to 1-bit DQPSK precoders to perform 1-bit DQPSK precoding, and multiplexing inphase outputs of the 1-bit DQPSK precoders to generate a first output; and multiplexing quadrature outputs of the 1-bit DQPSK precoders to generate a second output. Other methods, apparatuses, and systems also are disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, and methods for automatically identifying an underground optical fiber cable length from DFOS systems in real time and pair it with GPS coordinates that advantageously eliminate the need for in-field inspection/work by service personnel to make such real-time distance/location determinations. As such, inefficient, error-prone and labor-intensive prior art methods are rendered obsolete. Operationally, our method disclosure involves driving vehicles including GPS to generate traffic patterns and automatically mapping traffic trajectory signals from a deployed buried fiber optic cable to locate geographic location(s) of the buried fiber optic cable. Traffic patterns are automatically recognized; slack in the fiber optic cable is accounted for; location of traffic lights and other traffic control devices/structures may be determined; and turns in the fiber optic cable may likewise be determined.

Abstract: A distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) system and method employing a fiber optic sensor cable that autonomously collects DFOS data and employs artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) to distinguish sections of the fiber optic sensor cable that are above ground (aerial), below ground (buried), and buried but occasionally above ground, in addition to any change(s) that occur with respect to the fiber optic sensor cable at such sections.

Abstract: A method providing an increased signal-to-noise (SNR) characteristic for coherent distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems, the method employing fiber coils (microphones) made from sections of an optical sensing fiber that collect acoustic signals and uses multiple differential pairs of the microphones for signal averaging to improve the SNR. An analysis determines complex products (beating products) for a pair of locations that are part of a fiber microphone along the length of the optical sensing fiber that are used to determine a phase change in-between locations along the length of the optical sensing fiber.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) systems, methods, and structures that advantageously utilize existing telecommunications facilities that serve as not only to convey telecommunications traffic—but as a sensor medium providing useful sensory information. In sharp contrast to the prior art—a DFOS system when so deployed may advantageously exploit network topologies and optical switches to provide novel sensing features including the detection of environmental events including acoustic, temperature, and vibrational events that may be indicative of societal activity including traffic and/or emergency events.
