Abstract: The embedded apparatus disclosed herein may measure reflection coefficient values associated with back reflections in a fiber optics transmission system during a variable detection window to detect normal conditions, simulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), or excessive back reflections triggering remedial action. For example, the back reflections may indicate normal conditions if the reflection coefficients measured during an entire detection window remained below a threshold or a maximum reflection coefficient observed therein was below the threshold. Alternatively, the back reflections may trigger remedial action if the reflection coefficients measured in the entire detection window exceeded the threshold or a minimum reflection coefficient observed therein was above the threshold.
