“…The ambiguity among different channels can be resolved from a channel-dependent characteristic of an optoelectronic component. Many components, such as a dielectric filter [5,9,10], an arrayed waveguide grating [2], a Mach-Zehnder interferometer [11], a long-period fiber grating [12], double detectors [13,14], a semiconductor optoelectronic diode (SOD) [15], and so on, were proposed for monitoring a TLS.…”
