WDM Ring based Access Network mitigating Rayleigh Backscattering Noise

In this paper it is proposed and investigate a Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network (WDM-PON) ring providing Rayleigh backscattering (RB) noise reduction. Besides, the ring-based architecture also could reduce the RB beat noise .This is possible because RB and upstream signal are moving in opposite direction. In the proposed PON system, we have discussed and did analysis cha...

Distributed temperature-change sensor based on Rayleigh backscattering in an optical fiber.

A frequency-modulated continuous-wave technique is used to detect the presence of frequency shifts in the Rayleigh-backscattered light in a single-mode optical fiber as a result of a changing temperature. The system is able to detect a rate of temperature change of 0.014 K/s, when a 20-cm length of fiber is heated. The system is also able to demonstrate a spatial resolution of better than 15 cm.

In situ monitoring of ocean chlorophyll via laser-induced fluorescence backscattering through an optical fiber.

The first seagoing test of a prototype laser/fiber-optic system for in situ detection of ocean chlorophyll fluorescence is described. Radiation at 488 nm originating from a shipboard argon laser was transmitted through 20 of 200-microm core optical fiber to the distal tip mounted on the microstructure profiler, the Rapid Sampling Vertical Profiler. The backscattered fluorescence emission signal...

Heterogeneous radio-over-fiber passive access network architecture to mitigate Rayleigh backscattering interferometric beat noise.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a hybrid radio-over-fiber (ROF) wavelength division multiplexed and time division multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-TDM PON) architecture to mitigate Rayleigh backscattering (RB) interferometric beat noises. Here, only a single wavelength is needed at the central office (CO) to generate the downstream baseband data for optical wired application a...
