Abstract
At present distributed optical fiber acoustic sensors are needed for various applications. Those systems can be realized using polarization optical reflectometry. External mechanical action on optical fiber causes local birefringence changes and variations of optical axis orientation. Thus, analysis of polarized backscattered characteristics can be applied for detection and estimation of acoustic action parameters. Mathematial model of polarization characteristics of optical fiber and results of competer simulation are represented in paper
