OFDR is a type of DOFS that has high spatial resolution and large dynamic range, making it useful in a wide range of sensing scenarios such as temperature, strain, and vibration.
Optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) is a kind of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) which has attracted an increasing amount of research attention. The OFDR sensor has a high spatial resolution and large dynamic range, which makes it useful in a large amount of sensing scenarios. In this paper, we will provide a review of the recent advances in OFDR. We introduce the sensing principles and progress for performance improvement of the system. We also cover the applications of OFDR-based sensing system, including sensing of temperature, strain, vibration, pressure, magnetic field, refractive index, radiation, 3D-shape, gas, gas flow rate, and so on.
