Abstract

We propose an optical gas sensing network directly overlaid onto optical access networks, hybrid TDM/WDM-PONs. Centralized remote gas monitoring is demonstrated using three different sensing technologies: Chirp Laser Dispersion Spectroscopy (CLaDS), Direct Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (DLAS) and tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLS). DLAS performs fast threshold detection while CLaDS provides quantitative information about the gas. Additionally, TDLS utilizes a cost-effective solution for multiple gases detection. The results confirm that centralized remote gas sensing can be realized in optical communication networks using standard single-mode fiber (SMF), which provides a real time, low cost, and maintenance-free solution.
