Real-time monitoring of settlement and deformation within a coal mine’s deep quaternary unconsolidated strata presents challenges with installation and signal analysis. This paper presents results from successfully installing a field-scale fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing system in a deep borehole for the purpose of achieving real-time monitoring of the settlement and deformation in a deep unconsolidated stratum. A 152 m deep by 133 mm diameter borehole was used to embed an array of 24 FBG sensors in 12 layers of gravel and clay from between 92.4 m and 148.7 m of unconsolidated quaternary strata. A wavelength bandwidth of ±4.5 nm was used with a wavelength division multiplexing and spatial division multiplexing technique to compose a 4-by-6 sensor array. During the four stages of installation, the real-time transmission characteristics and the changes in the FBG wavelength for this sensing system were evaluated. While the FBG sensing system was stable after installation, it was clearly shown that the engineering techniques associated with both positioning and grouting influenced the mechanical properties and transmission characteristics of the system. After installation, the sensor survival rate was found to be 78.26% with a maximum FBG wavelength shift of 1.447 nm. This field-scale installation has provided information and experience that will improve future installations of buried fiber optic sensing technology throughout the underground coal mine industry.

An ultracompact wavelength demultiplexing structure based on the resonator-coupled effect is proposed and demonstrated numerically. The structure consists of a cross plasmonic-waveguide structure with baffles in the output channels, each of which functions as resonator. Due to the strong couplings of different resonators in the structure, a series of continuous sharp transmission spectra occur. This considerably increases the wavelength resolution of wavelength demultiplexing, which is obviously narrower than the full width of the isolated resonator. The proposed structure could be utilized to design of ultracompact wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) systems for large-scale photonic integration.

AbstractData rates in optical fiber networks have increased exponentially over the past decades and core-networks are expected to operate in the peta-bit-per-second regime by 2030. As current single-mode fiber-based transmission systems are reaching their capacity limits, space-division multiplexing has been investigated as a means to increase the per-fiber capacity. Of all space-division multiplexing fibers proposed to date, multi-mode fibers have the highest spatial channel density, as signals traveling in orthogonal fiber modes share the same fiber-core. By combining a high mode-count multi-mode fiber with wideband wavelength-division multiplexing, we report a peta-bit-per-second class transmission demonstration in multi-mode fibers. This was enabled by combining three key technologies: a wideband optical comb-based transmitter to generate highly spectral efficient 64-quadrature-amplitude modulated signals between 1528 nm and 1610 nm wavelength, a broadband mode-multiplexer, based on multi-plane light conversion, and a 15-mode multi-mode fiber with optimized transmission characteristics for wideband operation.

AbstractIn this work, we study and analyze the performance of Raman + Erbium-Ytterbium codoped fiber hybrid optical amplifier (HOA) for an ultradense wavelength division multiplexing (UD-WDM) system having 100 channels. The system has been investigated considering initial values of channel spacing and data rate of 0.1 nm (12.5 GHz) and 100 GB/s, respectively. Initially, the two important WDM system parameters—wavelength and channel spacing—have been selected and then optimization of the proposed HOA has been performed in terms of EYDFA length, pump power and Er+ concentration to achieve higher values of average gain, Q-factor and lower gain variation ratio. The optimized configuration of the HOA results in the achievement of higher value of average gain, Q-factor and gain variation ratio of 47 dB, 14 and 0.14, respectively, which confirms its viability for UD-WDM system applications.
