Fiber Optic Communication Sensitivity Experiment
We present a theoretical and experimental study in which we increased the sensitivity of a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (phi-OTDR). This manual contains ten laboratory experiments to be performed by students taking the optical fiber communication course (EE 420). Much of data communications is concerned with sending digital information through systems that normally only pass analog signals. For such systems, modems are used to convert the digital signals into an analog form suitable for transmission. This study proposed an all-fiber Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) strain sensor with two miniature bubble cavities. The device was fabricated by writing two axial, mutually close short-line structures via femtosecond laser pulse illumination to induce a refractive index modified area in the core of.
