    Abstract: In some examples, a temperature distribution sensor may include a laser source to emit a laser beam that is tunable to a first wavelength and a second wavelength for injection into a device under test (DUT). A first wavelength optical receiver may convert a return signal corresponding to the first wavelength with respect to Rayleigh backscatter or Raman backscatter Anti-Stokes. A second wavelength optical receiver may convert the return signal corresponding to the second wavelength with respect to Rayleigh backscatter or Raman backscatter Stokes. Bending loss associated with the DUT may be determined by utilizing the Rayleigh backscatter signal corresponding to the first wavelength and the Rayleigh backscatter signal corresponding to the second wavelength. Further, temperature distribution associated with the DUT may be determined by utilizing the Raman backscatter Anti-Stokes signal corresponding to the first wavelength and the Raman backscatter Stokes signal corresponding to the second wavelength.

    Abstract: In some examples, dual-end loopback-based multi-fiber cable measurement may include connecting at least two multi-fiber loopback devices respectively to a near end and a far end of a multi-fiber cable to place at least two fibers of the multi-fiber cable in series. The at least two multi-fiber loopback devices may include a near-end multi-fiber loopback device connected to a fiber optic reflectometer and to the near end of the multi-fiber cable to connect together at least two near-end fibers of the multi-fiber cable. Further, the at least two multi-fiber loopback devices may include a far-end multi-fiber loopback device connected to the far end of the multi-fiber cable to connect together at least two far-end fibers of the multi-fiber cable.

    Abstract: According to examples, an optical fiber-based sensing membrane may include at least one optical fiber, and a substrate. The at least one optical fiber may be integrated in the substrate. The substrate may include a thickness and a material property that are specified to ascertain, via the at least one optical fiber and for a device that is contiguously engaged with a surface of the substrate, includes the substrate embedded in the device, or includes the surface of the substrate at a predetermined distance from the device, a thermal and/or a mechanical property associated with the device, or a radiation level associated with a device environment.

    Abstract: According to examples, a wavelength identification and analysis sensor may include a wavelength transmitter, operably connectable to an input or output of a wavelength selective device of a wavelength division multiplex (WDM) network, to transmit test signals on a plurality of wavelengths into the input or output of the wavelength selective device of the WDM network. A wavelength analyzer is to detect returned signals from the input or output of the wavelength selective device of the WDM network, with each returned signal being associated with one of the transmitted test signals. Further, the wavelength analyzer is to analyze the returned signals and identify, based on the analysis of the returned signals, a wavelength associated with the input or output of the wavelength selective device of the WDM network.
