Abstract

We present a study of the performance of a simple fiber-optic perimeter snsor based on selective mode excitation in few- and multimode optical fibers. The electronic unit identifies an intrusion on the basis of a pre-defined threshold and number of detected pulses per unit time. The sensor may be controlled using the keypad, a PC or a FSK modem. The statistical properties of the responses are analyzed using Weibull distributions.
