  • Abstract
    N-point processing, where many samples are taken from a single optical fibre backscatter return, is shown to be an efficient means of implementing a two-point processor. This method is unaffected by source noise peculiar to single heterostructure lasers, which is shown to limit severely the performance of boxcar integrators.
