Title: | Performance analysis of a time-division-multiplexed fiber-optic gas-sensor array by wavelength modulation of a distributed-feedback laser | Authors: | Jin, W | Issue Date: | 1-Sep-1999 | Source: | Applied optics, 1 Sept. 1999, v. 38, no. 25, p. 5290-5297 | Abstract: | The results of an investigation of the performance of a time-division-addressed fiber-optic gas-sensor array by means of wavelength modulation of a distributed-feedback (DFB) laser are reported. The system performance is found to be severely limited by the extinction ratio of the optical switch used for pulse amplitude modulation. Formulas that relate the cross-talk level to the extinction ratio of the switch, the modulation parameters of the DFB laser, and the optical path differences among sensing channels are derived. Computer simulation shows that an array of 20 methane gas sensors with a detection sensitivity of 2000 parts in 10⁶ (ppm) (10-cm gas cell) for each sensor may be realized with a commercially available single Mach–Zehnder amplitude modulator (−35-dB extinction ratio). An array of 100 sensors with a 100-ppm detection sensitivity for each sensor may be realized if a double Mach–Zehnder amplitude modulator is used. | Publisher: | Optical Society of America | Journal: | Applied optics | ISSN: | 0003-6935 | DOI: | 10.1364/AO.38.005290 | Rights: | © 1999 Optical Society of America.
