Abstract :
In this talk, we will introduce a commercially available optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technique and its applications in avionics fiber-optics. We will provide multiple measurement examples within the avionics field not currently supported by conventional test tools or methods including high-resolution fault detection and distributed fiber sensing
