Abstract:The monitoring of the optical fiber infrastructure, especially within the interoffice range, is an essential procedure for the maintenance of the quality of service. Many fiber monitoring techniques can be employed, nevertheless the majority of these methods carry unbearable costs and do not allow a permanent fiber fault examination. In this article, we propose a low‐cost monitoring technique for implementation in reconfigurable optical add‐drop multiplexer architectures. This method makes use of the optical p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
