Abstract:
A fiber optic cable assembly includes an elongate housing, a signal fiber placed inside the housing and extending longitudinally, and a plurality of sensing fibers placed inside the housing and extending longitudinally. The plurality of sensing fibers is placed around the signal fiber. Each of the plurality of sensing fibers carries a respective laser signal of a distinct frequency. The signal fiber carries one or more evanescent coupling signals responsive to the laser signals in the plurality of sensing fibers.

Claim (Index 16):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein a distance between the signal fiber and one of the plurality of sensing fibers changes with an environmental variation, and the change in the distance causes an evanescent coupling signal in the signal fiber corresponding to the laser signal in the one of the plurality of sensing fibers, and the evanescent coupling signal has a same frequency as the laser signal in the one of the plurality of sensing fibers.
