    摘要: An interrogation system may be coupled to a fiber-optic cable positioned in a wellbore to interrogate a plurality of optical sensors coupled to the fiber-optic cable. The interrogation system may include an optical frequency comb source having a plurality of narrowband optical carriers transmitting light to the plurality of optical sensors. Each of the plurality of optical sensors may include a pair of partial reflectors to reflect the light transmitted by the optical frequency comb to one or more optical receivers to receive the reflection signals In some aspects, the interrogation system may include a de-interleaver device for separating reflected light signals having adjacent wavelength into separate optical waveguides. In additional aspects, interrogation system may also include a data processing system having a processing device for performing interferometric measurements using the reflected light signals.

    摘要: An optical data center network system including multiple tier-1 optical switches, multiple tier-2 optical switches and multiple tier-3 optical switches is provided. A pod is formed by the tier-1 optical switches connected to each other through ribbon fibers. A macro pod is formed by the tier-2 optical switches connected to each other through ribbon fibers, and each of the tier-2 optical switches is connected to all of the tier-1 optical switches in one pod. The tier-3 optical switches are connected to each other through ribbon fibers, and each of the tier-3 optical switches is connected to all of the tier-2 optical switches in one macro pod. Each optical switch in each tier is implemented by using the Wavelength Selective Switch (WSS) as a basic element, which has been commercialized numerously.

    摘要: A thin film interleaver device is disclosed. The thin film interleaver includes thin film optics. The thin film(s) are formed such that they reflect one group of wavelengths while allowing a second group of wavelengths to pass through the thin film(s). The thin film(s) exhibit a flat top frequency response across the channel bandwidths of the multiplexed signal for which the thin film filter is designed such that the thin film interleaver is less sensitive to wavelength drift and temperature variations.
