Abstract:
This patent document discloses fiber sensing techniques and devices for shape monitoring by using single- and multi-core optical fiber implementations and optical interferometry. Implementations can be made based on coherent optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR) or optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR).

Claim (Index 15):
The sensor as in  claim 10 , comprising:\n an optical switch coupled in an optical path between the probe light source and the different fiber cores to sequentially direct the probe light into the different fiber cores in the multi-core fiber sensor, one at a time.
