Abstract
Acoustics can be sensed with high spatial resolution by analyzing fiber Rayleigh scatter with optical frequency domain reflectometry, but signal-to-noise levels are low. Writing an array of discrete reflectors in fiber with a fs-pulsed laser increases returned light and leads to significant improvements in signal-to-noise levels and dynamic range.
