Hi everyone. I am asking about the main parameters that must be taken into account when implementing an optical fiber sensor network and the parameter that must be measured. Is there a standard distance for such a networks?
You should know the target data rate then you can select the transmitter speed to be equal to the data rate or and the optical receiver bandwidth to be 0.7*data rate to reduce the receiver noise. The maximum distance is a function of the transmitted optical power, fiber loss and receiver sensitivity,
