The authors experimentally demonstrate the operation of a lasing phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (Φ-OTDR) based on random feedback from a sensing fiber. Here, the full output of the laser provides the sensing signal, in contrast to the small backscattered signal measured in a conventional OTDR. In this proof-of-principle demonstration, the laser operates as a distributed vibration sensor with signal-to-noise ratio of 23-dB and 1.37-m spatial resolution.
