T1 - Performance Evaluation of Reference Reflections in Polymer Optical Fibers for Strain Sensing T2 - 27th International Conference on Optical Fiber Sensors N2 - We present a robust concept for quasi distributed strain measurement using optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) in polymer optical fibers (POF). The spatial shifts of discrete reflective events in the OTDR trace are evaluated as reference points. It is shown how such reference reflections can be prepared and which properties can be expected.
