Abstract:In this work, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a centralized all-optical network for sensing signal distribution to a large number of remote sites. The reach range of high-resolution sensing systems is often limited due to atmospheric effects. Employing a centralized optical fiber network for signal distribution to different nodes increases the effective reach distance, decreases the power consumption, and reduces the overall cost of the sensing system. The proposed centralized all-optical network is … 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.
