    Abstract: A downhole tool apparatus is disclosed that includes an input fiber optic cable coupled to an electro-optic modulator. The input fiber optic cable propagates first and second actively orthogonally polarized light beams. The electro-optic modulator modulates the first and second actively orthogonally polarized light beams in response to a measurement data stream (e.g., telemetry data). A single light beam comprising the modulated first and second actively orthogonally polarized light beams is propagated over an output fiber optic cable so that the modulated first and the second actively orthogonally polarized light beams propagate the same data through the output fiber optic cable. Recovery circuitry coupled to the single light beam is then used to detect, demodulate, and decode the original measurement data stream.

    Abstract: Included are cement compositions and methods and systems for locating the cement compositions in a wellbore. An example method comprises deploying a sensing system in the wellbore and introducing the cement composition into the wellbore. The cement composition comprises a cement and hollow beads having a crush pressure and configured to emit an acoustic signal when imploded. The method further comprises pumping the cement composition through the wellbore to a depth with a wellbore pressure exceeding the crush pressure of the hollow beads to induce implosion of the hollow beads and the emission of the acoustic signal. The method further comprises sensing the emitted acoustic signal and determining the location of the cement composition in the wellbore from the sensed emitted acoustic signal.

    Abstract: A telemetry system is operable to transmit data by bridging the low signal bandwidth available to high temperature electronics with the high spectral bandwidth available in optical fiber. A transmitter, such as a frequency comb, generates light to a fiber and the light is demultiplexed to separate the light into separate wavelengths. Modulators encode downhole data onto each wavelength and a multiplexer recombines the wavelengths onto a single fiber that passes the light back to the surface where a second demultiplexer separates the light to be transmitted to distinct receivers that detect the encoded data. A dual fiber system may also be utilized. One or more commands may also be transmitted to the downhole tools by transmitted the encoded command to a coupler that is coupled to a multiplexer where a downhole receiver determines the downhole tool that should receive the associated command.
