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 13):
An interferometric measurement method for measuring an optical fiber including multiple primary cores configured in the optical fiber and an auxiliary core configured in the optical fiber, the method comprising:\n detecting, using interferometric detection circuitry, measurement interferometric pattern data associated with each of the multiple primary cores and the auxiliary core when the optical fiber is in a sensing position; and determining, using data processing circuitry, compensation parameters based on the detected measurement interferometric pattern data for the multiple primary cores, the compensation parameters compensating for variations between a calibration configuration of the multiple primary cores and an actual configuration of the multiple primary cores, comparing a predicted parameter value for the auxiliary core with a measurement-based parameter value for the auxiliary core to produce a comparison, determining an unreliability of the compensation parameters based on the comparison, and generating a signal indicating in response to the unreliability.
