Abstract:
An optical fiber includes multiple optical cores configured in the fiber including a set of primary cores and an auxiliary core. An interferometric measurement system uses measurements from the multiple primary cores to predict a response from the auxiliary core. The predicted auxiliary core response is compared with the actual auxiliary core response to determine if they differ by more than a predetermined amount, in which case the measurements from the multiple primary cores may be deemed unreliable.

Claim (Index 21):
An optical fiber comprising:\n a plurality of cores comprising:\n a central core, and \n a plurality of peripheral cores, the plurality of peripheral cores comprising four or more peripheral cores, wherein each peripheral core of the plurality of peripheral cores is at a respective radius distance from the central core, \n wherein one or more cores of the plurality of cores provide a temperature response different than a temperature response of the remaining cores of the plurality of cores, and wherein one of more of the plurality of peripheral cores is at a first radius distance from the central core and the remaining peripheral cores of the plurality of peripheral cores is at a second radius distance from the central core, and wherein the plurality of peripheral cores has an average radius distance from the central core, and wherein a difference between the first radius distance and the second radius distance is at least 10% of the average radius distance.
