Optical networks are continuously expanding and this creating space for the use of optical fibers for non-data transmissions. One of them is the use for sensing purposes, where optical fibers can be used to measure temperature, pressure, vibration, etc. In standard conditions or in conditions where the placement of conventional sensors is not suitable (increased humidity, radiation, lack of space, etc.).This paper is devoted to the comparison of technologies comparing sensing systems and describes their principle and their possible applications. Subsequently, the different systems are built and tested. Possible improvements are then proposed based on the measurements, where for the reflectometric system the advantages of using edge detection algorithms are quantified. For the polarization detectors, improvements are made using machine learning classification algorithms with classification success rates above 97 %. Detailed measurements of the sensitivity of optical fibers to acoustic vibrations in three different environments, with different path configurations, cables, vibration-damping materials, etc. are also described. These measurements proved the possibility of intercepting optical fibers using interferometric, reflectometric, and polarization systems, where the polarization system is proven to be the least sensitive and records only lower frequencies. Based on these measurements, a system for securing the physical layer of optical networks is then proposed, which is able to accurately distinguish the quiescent and cable manipulation states from the datasets we created.
