摘要: According to one embodiment, an optical sensing system may include a gated optical amplifier, one or more triggering devices, and an optical coupler. The gated optical amplifier can receive a pulse signal and transform the pulse signal into an amplified pulse signal having an amplified peak portion. The triggering devices can control the gated optical amplifier such that the gated optical amplifier is in the lossy state while the baseline portion of the pulse signal is transformed and the gated optical amplifier is in the gain state while the peak portion of the pulse signal is transformed. The amplified pulse signal can be transmitted to the sensing optical fiber and a sensed optical signal can be received, when the sensing optical fiber is connected to the optical coupler. Optionally, a second pulse signal and the sensed optical signal can be combined and detected with a coherent balanced detection technique.

摘要: A method of making a multimode optical fiber is disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes calculating a core radius that maximizes the bandwidth of the multimode optical fiber wherein the effect of draw tension is accounted for. The embodiments herein illustrate how core radius can be tuned so the time delay of the outermost guided mode group is reduced. The resultant core radius may be targeted for a value off-nominal from what would be expected for a particular commercial optical fiber type.
