Multi-longitudinal mode fiber laser sensor system with high signal-to-noise ratio based on laser modes control
Abstract:
A multi-longitudinal mode fiber laser sensor (MLMFLS) system with high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is proposed. To the best of authors' knowledge, this is the highest SNR ever reported by MLMFLS system. The laser sensor consists of a narrow-band fiber Bragg grating (FBG), erbium-doped fiber (EDF) and an optical reflector. The FBG controls the number of laser modes which excited by laser sensor. Beat frequency signals (BFS) modulated by applied measurand are generated by those laser modes and their SNR are controlled by the FBG. Measurement results show the BFS have SNR of 65.0 dB, accuracy of ± 2.0 με, and stability of 0.4 kHz, which demonstrate its high SNR, accuracy and stability.

What is a Mode?
There can be more than one mode in a data set if multiple values have the same highest frequency. For instance, suppose that the Statistics exam scores of 20 students are: 50; 53; 59; 59; 63; 63; 72; 72; 72; 72; 72; 76; 78; 81; 83; 84; 84; 84; 90; 93. Here, the mode is 72, as it occurs most frequently, five times.
A data set with two modes is called bimodal. For example,...
Ventilatory Modes
There are three ventilatory modes: full support, partial support, and spontaneous. These are described below.
Full Support Modes
Full support modes include controlled mechanical ventilation, continuous mandatory...
MOSFET: Enhancement Mode
In their basic form, enhancement-mode MOSFETs are typically non-conductive when the gate-source voltage (Vgs) is zero. This default 'off' state means no...

Active Mode: The most common mode for amplification, the active mode features a forward-biased emitter-base junction and a reverse-biased base-collector junction. This setup enables electrons to be injected from the emitter to the base while blocking the majority carriers at the collector. The...
