The wavelength-encoded optical fiber position sensor has the advantages of being insensitive to light intensity changes and high stability. In order to further simplify the structure and reduce the cost, a new type of wavelength-encoded optical fiber position sensor is proposed. Using 10-order binary pseudo-random m-sequence as the coding standard of the sensor, the coding scale is made with a grating pitch of 100 μm and the sensing system is built, and the absolute position information is demodulated by the output voltage of the working channel. At the same time, the arrayed waveguide grating(AWG) is used as the demultiplexer and multiple photodiodes form a multi-wavelength detection system, which simplifies the sensing system and improves the response speed. Using a stepping motor with a unidirectional positioning accuracy of 6 μm as the displacement standard, the feasibility of designing a sensor with a resolution of 100 μm is verified.

Nd: YAG ceramics have the characteristics of large size and low cost, but the mode-locked laser based on Nd:YAG ceramics has not been widely verified. Using Nd:YAG ceramic as gain medium and semiconductor saturable absorption mirror (SESAM) as mode-locked element, the W-type resonator is optimized. When the pump power is 11.49 W, 1.25 W stable mode-locked laser with laser wavelength of 1.06 μm and repetition frequency of 144 MHz is generated. The pulse width of the mode-locked laser is 33.6 ps, the single pulse energy is 8.7 nJ, and the peak power is 0.26 kW. The experimental results show that Nd:YAG ceramics can be used as gain medium in passively mode-locked ultrafast picosecond lasers.
The laser driving circuit is an important part of the transmitter in the optical communication system. In order to meet the needs of high-speed electric/optical conversion, an externally modulated laser(EML) driving circuit is designed based on the 28 nmcomplementary metal oxide semiconductor(CMOS) process.

The structure of tapered fiber is of great significance to optimize the optical performance of tapered fiber amplifier. The variation of evanescent wave transmission depth of tapered fiber with different structure forms is analyzed, and two optimization schemes of tapered fiber structure are proposed. Combined with rate equation, power equation and finite difference beam transmission method, the model of quantum dot tapered fiber amplifier is established, and the influence of tapered fiber structure form on the performance of the amplifier is studied. The simulation results show that changing the initial melting length and stretching length can make the incident angle closer to the critical angle under the condition of total reflection, so as to increase the evanescent wave depth on the surface of the cone. The optimized tapered fiber structure is conducive to the improvement of the performance of the fiber amplifier.

According to the environmental parameters collected by fiber grating sensors in overhead lines, subjective and objective weighting method and principal component analysis are used to evaluate the OPGW optical cable status and data analysis. The data analysis results show that this method can effectively reflect the operating status of OPGW optical cable.

Aiming at the problem that the existing defragmentation methods in elastic optical networks can not make full use of the maximum free spectrum block and the number of service migrations is large, a defragmentation algorithm with maximum bandwidth service precise migration triggered by residual duration(BBSEM-DF) is proposed. Firstly, a fragment measurement model is constructed to measure the distribution of spectrum fragments in the link. Then, the threshold is set according to the amount of fragments and the remaining duration of business to trigger the defragmentation process. Finally, the maximum continuous service group is migrated to the free spectrum block in the link that matches the required number of frequency slots for accurate migration. The simulation results show that compared with the traditional defragmentation algorithm, this algorithm can reduce the spectrum fragments, reduce the blocking rate, and improve the network performance.
In order to improve the survivability of optical networks, this paper proposes a fault service recovery algorithm based on service delay sensitivity and alarm feedback measurement. The algorithm first applies the link multi-fault location model based on hybrid evolutionary neural network to accurately locate the fault location from a large number of alarm information. Then, the time delay tolerance of the faulty business is evaluated, and the recovery sequence of the faulty business is arranged based on this. In addition, the algorithm also evaluates the reliability of each link according to the type and quantity of alarm information on each link, and gives priority to the link with higher reliability when choosing the recovery path for the fault service. The simulation results show that the fault location accuracy of this algorithm is as high as 91%, the relative recovery delay of fault service decreased by 48.83% and the reliability of recovery path increased by 6.05% on average.
