APPARATUS AND METHODS OF MULTIPLEXING TRANSMISSIVE OPTICAL SENSORS

摘要

Various embodiments include apparatus and methods structured to interrogate a plurality of sensor assemblies, where each sensor assembly may have one or more transmissive optical sensors. The plurality of sensor assemblies can be arranged to couple between two optical fibers. The interrogation can include generating optical signals to each sensor assembly such that each sensor assembly can be selectively and individually interrogated using semiconductor optical amplifiers. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
