Abstract

A fundamentally different demodulation scheme is proposed based on a high-energy, ultrafast, broadband pulses generated by a passively mode-locked erbium fiber laser as an alternative approach for high-speed interrogation of large grating arrays. The scheme allows time-division multiplexing (TDM) and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) at sampling rates in the MHz range by taking advantage of the extraordinary spectral bandwidth of the laser.
