A Fiber Bragg Grating Sensor Network with Multiple Ring Topology and High Reliability
As the Fiber Bragg Grating(FBG)sensor network has more and more functions and larger scales
the demand of reliability and scalability is increasing.A novel FBG sensor network based on square sensing unit with multiple ring is proposed.This paper firstly introduces the necessity of adding Optical Switch(OS)to conventional FBG sensor network and then describes the process of construction the network.Then
how the light transmits between the ring channels is illustrated.After that
a Remote Node(RN)is designed
which is used for repairing link faults.Finally
the repair process is analyzed in detail when link fault happens and the scalability of the network is also analyzed in detail.It can be seen that the network is tolerant to one link fault.The results show that the network has good reliability and scalability.
