Using OptiSystem to analyze CATV systems
The aim of this material is to show the possibilities of using OptiSystem to analyze CATV systems.
In Part I, we demonstrate the basic nonlinear distortions that result from the propagation of the multiple carrier frequencies through a laser diode.
Observation of harmonic and intermodal products is presented. Although the appearance of the nonlinear distortions is a deterministic process, it is considered to contribute to the laser noise.
FBG Fiber Loop Mirror Sensor Design Basics
September 26, 2018
Fiber loop mirror configurations have been used in several different applications. One important application is sensing. Inserting a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) in the fiber loop mirror allows exploiting the switching feature of the loop mirror to enable enhanced sensing and accessing capabilities.
