REMOTE WORK METHODS AND SYSTEMS USING NONLINEAR LIGHT CONVERSION

摘要

A disclosed remote work system (100) includes a light source (102) and a nonlinear converter (108A-N) optically coupled to and remote from the light source. The nonlinear light converter converts a narrowband light pulse received from the light source to a converted spectrum light pulse. The system also includes a work element (110A-N) coupled to the nonlinear light converter. The work element performs a work operation using the converted spectrum light pulse. A related remote work method includes generating a narrowband light pulse and conveying the narrowband light pulse to a remote location (114). The method also includes converting the narrowband light pulse to a converted spectrum light pulse at the remote location. The method also includes performing a sense operation or work operation at the remote location using the converted spectrum light pulse.
