Multimode Fabry-Perot Laser Diodes: Modeling and Simulation of Mode Partitioning Noise in Fibre-Optic Communication LinksRan, Mengyu 09 1900 (has links)
The FP multimode semiconductor laser has lightened up a new field of optical communication technology in the past two decades. Numerical modeling of its physical behaviours and transient response has been discussed previously in literature, mostly by constructing the multimode rate equations. Rate equations are very helpful in studying and predicting the average photon and carrier transient response and relaxation oscillation. However, their deficiency in statistical photon fluctuation limits the function of describing stochastic power shifted from main mode to other side modes. Therefore, a noise driven model with conjunction of optical fibre and photodiode is built to form an optical communication system in the simulation scope. The multimode nature of FP lasers causes several problems such as mode partitioning noise (MPN), intersymbol interference (ISI), and frequency chirping, among which mode partitioning noise is the most serious of the concern in this discussion. The stereotype analytical measurement of MPN power penalty is based on several assumptions on the received waveform shape and power distribution spectrum, which limits its fields of application and accuracy. This work develops a numerical
solution to power penalty due to MPN, and it can be employed to any multimode laser diode models regardless of the received signal shape and power distribution spectrum. In conclusion, the MPN power penalty is a significant profile of evaluating system perform in fibre-optic communication links. It highly depends on shape of power distribution spectrum, number of modes, length of fibre, and pattern of signal waveform. / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

Injection-Locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode In Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical NetworkYan, Yudan 07 1900 (has links)
The bandwidth demanding in the access network has been increasing rapidly over the past several years. The predominant broadband access network solutions deployed today are digital subscriber line (DSL) and community antenna television (CATV) (cable TV) based networks. However, the passive optical network (PON) which is a point to multipoint access network based on optical fibers provides much higher bandwidth compared to current access networks based on copper lines. Incorporating wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in a PON allows a much higher bandwidth compared to the standard PON which operates in the single wavelength mode where the one wavelength is used for upstream transmission and another different wavelength is used for downstream transmission. Moreover, WDM-PON offers the advantages in terms of capacity, low latency and service transparency. In the past five years WDM-PON technology has been developed to a mature for commercial consideration. In this thesis, we start from some fundamentals about WDM-PON and the technology challenge for WDM-PON which is to avoid the need for expensive wavelength selective optical components in the end-user optical network unit (ONU). Then we investigate Injection Locked Fabry-Perot Laser Diode with narrow band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise as an approach to be a wavelength independent ONU. We study its theoretical model and compare the experimental results with the simulation results based on the theoretical model. / Thesis / Candidate in Philosophy

Intrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometric Fiber Sensor Based on Ultra-Short Bragg Gratings for Quasi-Distributed Strain and Temperature MeasurementsWang, Zhuang 02 February 2007 (has links)
The health monitoring of smart structures in civil engineering is becoming more and more important as in-situ structural monitoring would greatly reduce structure life-cycle costs and improve reliability. The distributed strain and temperature sensing is highly desired in large structures where strain and temperature at over thousand points need to be measured simultaneously. It is difficult to carry out this task using conventional electrical strain sensors. Fiber optic sensors provide an excellent opportunity to fulfill this need due to their capability to multiplex many sensors along a single fiber cable. Numerous research studies have been conducted in past decades to increase the number of sensors to be multiplexed in a distributed sensor network.
This dissertation presents detailed research work on the analysis, design, fabrication, testing, and evaluation of an intrinsic Fabry-Perot fiber optic sensor for quasi-distributed strain and temperature measurements. The sensor is based on two ultra-short and broadband reflection fiber Bragg gratings. One distinct feature of this sensor is its ultra low optical insertion loss, which allows a significant increase in the sensor multiplexing capability. Using a simple integrated sensor interrogation unit and an optical spectrum based signal processing algorithm, many sensors can be interrogated along a single optical fiber with high accuracy, high resolution and large dynamic range. Based on the experimental results and theoretical analysis, it is expected that more than 500 sensors can be multiplexed with little crosstalk using a frequency-division multiplexing technology. With this research, it is possible to build an easy fabrication, robust, high sensitivity and quasi-distributed fiber optic sensor network that can be operated reliably even in harsh environments or extended structures.

High Temperature High Bandwidth Fiber Optic Pressure SensorsXu, Juncheng 08 February 2006 (has links)
Pressure measurements are required in various industrial applications, including extremely harsh environments such as turbine engines, power plants and material-processing systems. Conventional sensors are often difficult to apply due to the high temperatures, highly corrosive agents or electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise that may be present in those environments. Fiber optic pressure sensors have been developed for years and proved themselves successfully in such harsh environments. Especially, diaphragm based fiber optic pressure sensors have been shown to possess advantages of high sensitivity, wide bandwidth, high operation temperature, immunity to EMI, lightweight and long life.
Static and dynamic pressure measurements at various locations of a gas turbine engine are highly desirable to improve its operation and reliability. However, the operating environment, in which temperatures may exceed 600 °C and pressures may reach 100 psi (690 kPa) with about 1 psi (6.9kPa) variation, is a great challenge to currently available sensors. To meet these requirements, a novel type of fiber optic engine pressure sensor has been developed. This pressure sensor functions as a diaphragm based extrinsic Fabry-Pérot interferometric sensor. One of the unique features of this sensor is the all silica structure, allowing a much higher operating temperature to be achieved with an extremely low temperature dependence. In addition, the flexible nature of the sensor design such as wide sensitivity selection, and passive or adaptive temperature compensation, makes the sensor suitable for a variety of applications
An automatically controlled CO₂ laser-based sensor fabrication system was developed and implemented. Several novel bonding methods were proposed and investigated to improve the sensor mechanical ruggedness and reduce its temperature dependence.
An engine sensor testing system was designed and instrumented. The system generates known static and dynamic pressures in a temperature-controlled environment, which was used to calibrate the sensor.
Several sensor signal demodulation schemes were used for different testing purposes including a white-light interferometry system, a tunable laser based component test system (CTS), and a self-calibrated interferometric-intensity based (SCIIB) system. All of these sensor systems are immune to light source power fluctuations, which offer high reliability and stability.
The fiber optic pressure sensor was tested in a F-109 turbofan engine. The testing results prove the sensor performance and the packaging ruggedization. Preliminary laboratory and field test results have shown great potential to meet not only the needs for reliable and precise pressure measurement of turbine engines but also for any other pressure measurements especially requiring high bandwidth and high temperature capability. / Ph.

UV-Induced Intrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometric Fiber Sensors and Their Multiplexing for Quasi-Distributed Temperature and Strain SensingShen, Fabin 15 August 2006 (has links)
Distributed temperature and strain sensing is demanded for a wide range of applications including real-time monitoring of industrial processes, health monitoring of civil infrastructures, etc. Optical fiber distributed sensors have attracted tremendous research interests in the past decade to meet the requirements of such applications.
This research presents a multiplexed sensor array for distributed temperature and strain sensing that can multiplex a large number of UV-induced sensors along a single fiber. The objective of this research is to develop a quasi-distributed sensing technology that will greatly increase the multiplexing capacity of a sensor network and can measure temperature and strain with a high accuracy and high resolution.
UV-induced intrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (IFPI) optical fiber sensors, which have low reflectance and low power loss, are good candidates for multiplexed sensors networks. Partial reflectors are constructed by irradiating photosensitive fiber with a UV laser beam. A pair of reflectors will form a Fabry-Perot interferometer that can be used for temperature and strain sensing. A sensor fabrication system based on a pulsed excimer laser and a shadow mask is developed.
A spectrum-based measurement system is presented to measure the interference fringes of IFPI sensors. A swept coherent light source is used as the light source. The spectral responses of the IFPI sensors at different wavelengths are measured. A frequency division multiplexing (FDM) scheme is proposed. Multiple sensors with different optical path differences (OPD) have different sub-carrier frequencies in the measured spectrum of the IFPI sensors. The multiplexing capacity of the sensor system and the crosstalk between sensors are analyzed.
Frequency estimation based digital signal processing algorithms are developed to determine the absolute OPDs of the IFPI sensors. Digital filters are used to select individual frequency components and filter out the noise. The frequency and phase of the filtered signal are estimated by means of peak finding and phase linear regression methods. The performance of the signal processing algorithms is analyzed.
Experimental results for temperature and strain measurement are demonstrated. The discrimination of the temperature and strain cross sensitivity is investigated. Experimental results show that UV-induced IFPI sensors in a FDM scheme have good measurement accuracy for temperature and strain sensing and potentially have a large multiplexing capacity. / Ph. D.

Real-Time Signal Processing and Hardware Development for a Wavelength Modulated Optical Fiber Sensor SystemMusa, Shah M. 09 September 1997 (has links)
The use of optical fiber sensors is increasing widely in civil, industrial, and military applications mainly due to their, (a) miniature size, (b) high sensitivity, (c) immunity from electro-magnetic interference, (d) resistance to harsh environments, (e) remote signal processing ability, and, (f) multiplexing capabilities. Because of these advantages a variety of optical fiber sensing techniques have evolved over the years having potentials for myriad of applications. One very challenging job, for any of these optical fiber sensing techniques, is to implement a stand alone system with the design and development of all the signal processing models along with the necessary hardware, firmware, and software satisfying the real-time signal processing requirements. In this work we first develop the equations for the system model of the wavelength modulated extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) optical fiber sensor, and then design and build all the hardware and software necessary to implement a stand-a / Ph.
