## Abstract

A novel concept for distributed fiber sensing has recently been introduced, in which the sensing fiber itself forms a laser cavity. This configuration yields a high-quality response that is largely independent of position, thereby enhancing measurement accuracy and acquisition speed, and opening new avenues towards higher-performance sensing technologies.

Synchronous pumping enables laser-based distributed fiber sensors to achieve uniform signal quality regardless of distance, addressing traditional range limitations and advancing flexible, high-performance sensing capabilities.
