13.1 Theory of Optical Fiber Sensing Network

13.1.1 Discrete Optical Fiber Sensing Network

In the discrete optical fiber sensing network, the fiber‐optic sensing units of the same modulation type are spatially distributed according to a certain rule and then coupled to the optical fiber by multiplexing technology according to a certain topology. Multiplexing technology refers to the coupling of multiple fiber‐optic sensors using one or more fiber‐optic buses, which have the same modulation type and have a certain spatial distribution. The measured parameters and their spatial distribution are obtained by addressing and demodulating. Optical fibers are only used as optical transmission paths. ...
