    摘要: Some or all of the optical fibers of a single-mode or multi-mode cable are monitored for intrusion by transmitting through the fibers a signal which can be analyzed for changes in its characteristics which are indicative of movement as a prelude to an intrusion event. To avoid independent monitors of all of the fibers, in some cases the same light signal is looped through a plurality of the fibers in series by passive jumpers. Switches can be used to disconnect out those fibers which are compromised. As an alternative a plurality of separate monitoring signals can be provided each associated with its own sensor where unique combinations of the signals are transmitted through separate fibers allowing a higher number of fibers to be monitored than the number of signals.

    摘要: Intrusion detection for a multimode fiber optic cable uses a light signal launched into the fiber through the low ratio leg of a tap coupler to establish a narrow spectral width, under-filled non-uniform mode field power distribution in the cable. A small portion of the higher order signal modes at the remote end is monitored for transient changes in the mode field power distribution which are characteristic of fiber intrusion to activate an alarm. The active signal of a multimode optical fiber is monitored for both signal degradation and transient power disturbance patterns that could indicate fiber damage or physical intrusion. A translator can be provided in an existing optical fiber system in which the data signals are translated in wavelength and/or launch conditions to optimize the monitoring signals in an otherwise non-optimized system.

    摘要: Intrusion detection of one section only of a multimode fiber uses a light signal launched into the fiber at a location spaced from the source through a single mode fiber to establish a narrow spectral width, under-filled non-uniform mode field power distribution in the fiber. A small portion of the higher order signal modes at the a second location also spaced from the destination is sampled by a tap coupler and monitored for transient changes in the mode field power distribution which are characteristic of intrusion to activate an alarm. A fiber being used for data transmission can be monitored for intrusion by introducing a monitor wavelength different form that of the data signal. Central to this invention is the use of a bulk optic (commonly referred to as a pass/reflect) wavelength division multiplexer, one which maintains the modal distribution within the fiber.

    摘要: A telecommunications optical fiber is secured against intrusion by detecting manipulation of the optical fiber prior to an intrusion event. This can be used in a non-locating system where the detection end is opposite the transmit end or in a locating system which uses Fresnel reflections and Rayleigh backscattering to the transmit end to detect and then locate the motion. The Rayleigh backscattering time sliced data can be stored in a register until an intrusion event is detected. The detection is carried out by a polarization detection system which includes an optical splitter which is manufactured in simplified form for economic construction. This uses a non-calibrated splitter and less than all four of the Stokes parameters. It can use a polarimeter type function limited to linear and circular polarization or two linear polarizers at 90 degrees.

    摘要: In a method for secure transmission of data using a quantum key distribution system where individual photons each having a state of polarization are transmitted from the source to the recipient and where the state of polarization the photons is used to provide the series of bits of the encryption key, manipulation of the optical fiber causing movement of a portion of the fiber indicative of an intrusion event is obtained by analyzing changes in time of the number of dropped bits which is those bits which fail to be accurately detected by the recipient since such changes are indicative of changes in polarization of the photons due to handling of the fiber.

    摘要: An acoustic microphone includes a diaphragm attached to one part a detection coil portion of an optical fiber with another part attached to a fixed base member so that vibrations in the diaphragm cause twisting of parts of the fiber on either side of the coil to change polarization of light from a source of polarized light passing through the fiber. These changes are detected in a sensor defined by a polarizer tuned to be orthogonal to the source so that changes increase the intensity of light from a minimum at the tuned condition. An electronic sensor at an end of the fiber downstream of the detection portion is arranged to detect the changes in the light and convert the changes into an output signal representative of the vibrations monitored. The vibrations are detected only by the detection portion by providing a tuneable polarizer at the entrance to the detection coil and by providing a multimode fiber which is not responsive to the vibrations to carry the light to the sensor.

    摘要: A method and system of intrusion detection system for a multimode fiber optic cable. A light signal is launched into the cable fiber to establish a narrow spectral width, under-filled non-uniform mode field power distribution in the cable. A small portion of the higher order signal modes arriving at the remote end of the cable is sampled and monitored for transient changes in the mode field power distribution. The power distribution changes with physical disturbance of the cable. When those changes are detected as being characteristic of fiber intrusion, the system activates an alarm. This method can sense and alarm any attempt to access the optical fibers in a fiber optic communication cable. In preferred embodiments, the active signal of a multimode optical fiber is monitored for both signal degradation and transient power disturbance patterns that could indicate fiber damage or physical intrusion. A translator can be provided in an existing optical fiber system in which the data signals are translated in wavelength and/or launch conditions to optimize the monitoring signals in an otherwise non-optimized system.
