We have studied tile detection techniques, which can determine the location and the weight of an intruder into infrastructure, by using fiber-optic ROTDR (Rayleigh optical time domain reflectometry) sensor and fiber-optic BOTDA (Brillouin Optical time domain analysis) sensor, which can use an optical fiber longer than that of ROTDR sensor Fiber-optic sensing plates of ROTDR sensor, which arc buried in sand, were prepared to respond the intruder effects. The signal of ROTDR was analyzed to confirm the detection performance. The constructed ROTDR could be used up to 10km at the pulse width of 30ns. The location error was less than 2 m and the weight could be detected as 4 grades, such as 20kgf, 40kgf, 60kgf and 80kgf. Also, fiber optic BOTDA sensor was developed to be able to detect intrusion effect through an optical fiber of tells of kilometers longer than ROTDR sensor. fiber-optic BOTDA sensor was constructed with 1 laser diode and 2 electro-optic modulators. The intrusion detection experiment was peformed by the strain inducing set-up installed on an optical table to simulate all intrusion effect. In the result of this experiment, the intrusion effort was well detected as the distance resolution of 3m through the fiber length of about 4.81km during 1.5 seconds.

We Designed and Conduct a study on the basic intrusion detection research for outside intruder, which can determine the location and the weight of an intruder into infrastructure, by using Fiber-Optic ROTDR( Rayleigh Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) sensor, which are buried in the sand, were prepared to respond the intruder effects. The signal of ROTDR was analyzed to confirm the detection performance. The weight could be detected as 4 grades, such as 20kg, 40kg, 60kg, and 80kg. which used long distance fiber for intruder detection on wide area. This sensor was possible for application of real-time monitoring of infrastructures.

A detection technique is studied to determine the location and the weight of an intruder into infrastructure using fiber optic ROTDR (Rayleigh optical time domain reflectometry) sensor. Fiber optic sensing plates buried in sand are prepared to measure the intruder effects. The signal of ROTDR was analyzed to confirm the detection performance. The constructed ROTDR system could be used up to 12km at the pulse width of 30ns. The location error was less than 3m and the weight could be detected into three levels of grade, such as 20kgf, 40kgf and 60kgf.

The developing of buried fiber optic sensor with high sensitivity and broad-area detecting intruders is carried out using fiber optic ROTDR(Rayleigh Optical Time Domain Reflectometry). The sensing part was designed to be able to broad-area detect intrusion effect per optical fiber length under ground. The bending light losses in optical fibers are investigated by commercial mini ROTDR with wavelength $1.55{\mu}m$, distance range 5km, pulse width 20ns, SNR=5.7. The sensing fibers are selected as the common telecommunication fibers are the 1.5mm, 3.5 mm outer diameter, 4km each length fiber products. Experiments were investigate the characteristics of signal sensitivity according to applied intrusion weight. The relation between the applied weight and the bending loss was almost linear, and broad-area detect intrusion effects are the 2m resolution and $1.3m^2$ per optical fiber length respectively. The light loss by the applied weight on fiber was 0.17 dB/kg. that the sensitivity of the optical fiber sensor was sufficient to detect intruders passing over the buried optical fiber.
