Like the long haul point to point links these networks are alsoto be optically transparent and their end to end size can be several thousand kilometres.

These schemes can also keep thepenalties due to non-linear effects to within acceptable limits [3]. However, polarisation modedispersion (PMD) still remains as a significant and now the main dispersion mechanism whichlimits the maximum attainable bit rate times distance product for these links.

These include gases such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and methane. The availability of low cost communications fiber and components such as connectors and couplers make this spectral region attractive for the development of fiber sensor networks for continuous monitoring of trace gases. However, the absorption lines are weak and careful design of the modulation and signal processing schemes are required in order to obtain adequate sensitivities for commercial application. Furthermore the laser source must operate around the specific wavelength of the gas absorption line and the resulting high cost of manufacture needs to be mitigated by arranging for a large number of sensor locations within the fiber network. Here we illustrate how the above concerns can be met in the case of methane gas where we have developed a multi-point sensor network with adequate sensitivity for safety monitoring.","PeriodicalId":399876,"journal":{"name":"Optical Fibre Sensors","volume":"13 22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133884699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
