    摘要: The pulsed input light source (15) of the fiber-optic sensor array (11,12,13,14) is divided into a plurality of input light sources for the respective sensors of the array by a network of low-loss single mode fixed ratio fiber-optic couplers (17,20,21). The input light (15) is applied to the input fiber (16) of a first fixed ratio coupler (17), the output fibers (18,19) thereof providing the input fibers of further fixed ratio couplers (20) and so forth until the light is divided into the appropriate number of sources. The divided light sources are applied to the input fibers of the variable ratio fiber-optic coupler sensors (11,12,13,14) of the array through differing lengths of optical fiber so that the input light pulses impinge upon the sensors of the array at different times. The output fibers (25,28,32,34) of the sensors (11,12,13,14) are coupled to multimode busses (26,27) through low-loss taps (29,31,33,35). In an alternative embodiment (Figure 2) for highly unbalanced ratio fiber-optic coupler sensors (51,52,53), the pulsed input light (52) is applied to the input fiber (55) of a first sensor (51). The high percentage output leg (56) of the first sensor (51) provides the input to a second sensor (52) of the array, the high percentage output fiber (60) thereof providing the input to the next array sensor (53). The low percentage legs of the sensors (57,61), which carry the information, are tapped (59,62) into a multimode fiber-optic bus (58).

    摘要: The optical data link comprises a transmitter (7] and a receiver (8] with coherent detection at the receiver (8] and more than one optical carrier frequency. The at least more than one optical carrier frequencies are generated by a frequency comb source in both the transmitter (7] and the receiver (8). wherein the frequency comb sources generate frequency combs that have frequency components and a free spectral range. The more than one optical carrier frequencies transport more than one optical channel. Either at least one frequency component or the free spectral range of the optical comb generated at the receiver (8] is locked to the comb generated at the transmitter (7] by an optical phase locked loop, or an electrical phase locked loop or a feed-forward carrier recovery generates an intermediate frequency carrier reference that is routed to more than one channel to demodulate the data.

    摘要: Proposed is a method of optical data transmission. The method comprises different steps. A first optical signal and a second optical signal are generated, such that the optical signals possess a same wavelength, respective phases, which are modulated in dependence on respective data values, and respective polarization states, which are essentially orthogonal to each other. A combined optical signal is generated, by combining the optical signals, such that the combined optical signal possesses a polarization state with a predetermined variation. The combined optical signal is transmitter over an optical transmission line and received. Two time-discrete sampled signals are generated, by sampling the received optical signal along two orthogonal polarization planes. Two filtered signals are generated, by filtering the time-discrete sampled signals in the time-discrete domain, using a function that is indicative of the respective predetermined variation. Finally, respective data values are derived from the filtered signals.

    摘要: A distributed sensor system including an optical source (100) having a short coherence length for optionally continuously monitoring each sensor in the system. In one preferred embodiment, an array of fiber-optic sensors (110) are organized in a ladder configuration, with the sensors positioned in spaced relation and defining the rungs of the ladder. Light transmitted through the sensors is multiplexed onto a return arm (114) of the ladder, with sensor spacing being such that interference between light from different sensors is prevented. The multiplexed signals are received by an optical fiber receiver (118, 120) which couples the mutiplexed light with an interfering optical reference signal to produce a phase difference signal representing conditions influencing selected sensors. Embodiments are disclosed for use of either pulsed or continuous wave light sources. In another preferred embodiment, the sensors comprise a plurality of interferometers (404,406) connected in series configuration by a common optical fiber (402), which provides multiplexed output signals from the sensors to another plurality of interferometers (418, 420) comprising receivers. Functional equivalents of the series configuration provide sensors and receivers comprising birefringent or two-mode fiber. The optical path length differences between each pair of sensor arms (409, 410, 411 and 412) are selected to prevent interference between the multiplexed sensor output signals from the various sensors. The optical path lengths through the sensors (404, 406) and receivers (418, 420) are structured so that each receiver (418, 420) produces a phase difference signal relating to conditions affecting light transmission through a specific sensor (404, 406). A phase and amplitude modulation technique is disclosed for providing heterodyned output signals from the dristributed sensor system.
