Time division multiplexing array of fiber laser hydrophone using optical switch

In order to reduce the cost and the size of a sensing system, a 4-element fiber laser hydrophone time division multiplexing array was established by using high-speed optical switches based on the characteristics of fiber laser sensing elements. The selective pulse width and the loss of the time division multiplexing array were analyzed after theoretical analysis and experimental verification. Because of time delay of the interferometer and switch speed of the optical switches, sampling frequency was limited. The acoustic detecting experiments show that the multiplexing signal can be acquired and demutiplexed correctly. The crosstalk between adjacent channels of the 4-element fiber laser hydrophone array is -17dB.
