摘要:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, and structures for high speed frequency hopping distributed acoustic sensing using an acousto-optic modulated (AOM), gated re-circulating loop and a frequency shifted receiver local oscillator. Using the re-circulating loop controlled by the AOM to generate frequency-hopping pulse(s) increases DAS acoustic bandwidth overcomes infirmities exhibited in the art that generate multiple frequency patterns that are not suitable for long-distance DAS. Additionally, by employing frequency shifted local oscillator (LO) with asymmetric in band detection, bandwidth requirements are reduced by one half.

Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods. and structures in which a hybrid neural network combining a CNN and several ANNs are shown useful for predicting G-ONSR for Ps-256QAM raw data in deployed SSMF metro networks with 0.27 dB RMSE. As demonstrated, the CNN classifier is trained with 80.96% testing accuracy to identify channel shaping factor. Several ANN regression models are trained to estimate G-OSNR with 0.2 dB for channels with various constellation shaping. Further aspects include the tuning of existing optical networks and the characterization of retrofit/upgraded optical networks to estimate capacity—both aspects employing our inventive hybrid neural network methodology.

Structures and methods of generating 8-QAM signals through the effect of a cascaded I/Q modulator and Mach-Zhender modulator. The 8-QAM signals are generated by applying one binary sequence to the dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and two binary sequences to the I/Q modulator. Operationally, the I/Q modulator generates QPSK constellation(s), while the dual drive MZM either maintains the QPSK constellation at an out ring, or attenuates its amplitude to the inner ring and rotates its phase by π/4 phase depending on the binary data it was driven by.

Aspects of the present disclosure describe distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) systems, methods, and structures that advantageously sense/monitor intra-data center operations using self-coherent detection. Advantageously, sensing signal(s) and data signal(s) are optically multiplexed such that the sensing signal(s) are generated and detected using the same optoelectronic components as data generation and detection while requiring only minimal changes to transponder arrangements and no additional bandwidth to digital-to-analog converters (DAC) or analog-to-digital converters (ADC).

Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems and methods that advantageously enable vibration-induced optical phase measurement at a centralized optical line terminal (OLT) in a PON architecture. In sharp contrast to existing distributed fiber sensing systems and methods, the optical phase measurements of the present disclosure do not rely on back scattering mechanisms and maintain a sufficient optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) even after round-trip splitting loss in the PON.
摘要:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe improved distributed acoustic sensing using dynamic range suppression of optical time domain reflectometry either by using a feedback loop comprising optical and electrical elements or using a nonlinear element in the electrical domain after coherent detection. When using a feedback loop, the amplitude of the periodic waveform of coherent OTDR can be inverted. This allows optical pre-compensation of the received optical signal before coherent detection with the goal of minimizing amplitude dynamic range. Alternatively, a nonlinear element in the electrical domain can reduce amplitude dynamic range before sampling by analog-to-digital converters (ADC).
摘要:
Aspects of the present disclosure describe a coherent distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) method employing a combined complex and phase domain vibration strength estimation are employed to produce a distributed acoustic sensing output signal exhibiting mitigated Rayleigh fading effect. Operationally, a phase-domain estimator is regulated by a complex-domain estimator that provides Rayleigh fading information associated with each DAS fiber segment, which in turn is used to determine if/how a phase-domain estimator is affected by fading. In the occurrence of severe fading, the complex-domain estimator is used to produce an indication of vibration strength, wherein noise occurring in that estimator is not amplified as would be in the phase-domain estimator.
