This work bridges the gap between the remote interrogation of multiple optical sensors and the advantages of using inherently biocompatible low-cost polymer optical fiber (POF)-based photonic sensing. A novel hybrid sensor network combining both silica fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) and polymer FBGs (POFBG) is analyzed. The topology is compatible with WDM networks so multiple remote sensors can be addressed providing high scalability. A central monitoring unit with virtual data processing is implemented, which could be remotely located up to units of km away. The feasibility of the proposed solution for potential medical environments and biomedical applications is shown.
这项工作弥合了多个光学传感器的远程询问与使用本质上具有生物相容性的低成本聚合物光纤（POF）光子传感优势之间的差距。分析了一种结合了石英光纤布拉格光栅（FBG）和聚合物FBG（POFBG）的新型混合传感器网络。该拓扑结构与波分复用（WDM）网络兼容，因此可以对多个远程传感器进行寻址，具有很高的可扩展性。实现了一个具有虚拟数据处理功能的中央监测单元，该单元可以远程设置在数公里之外。展示了所提出的解决方案在潜在医疗环境和生物医学应用中的可行性。
