Abstract

A standardized interface for fiber-optic sensor systems based on wavelength-division- multiplexing (WDM) has been successfully demonstrated using a novel broad-spectrum quantum-well LED and a high-resolution waveguide spectrograph. This efficient interface allows a 40-decibel system loss in 20 sensor channels. The new broadband LED and slab- waveguide spectrograph represent key enabling components for the WDM interface system. The LED produces a spectral width a factor of 3 times larger than that from conventional edge emitting LEDs in the 750-900 nm range. The compact slab-waveguide spectrograph's channel resolution (4-5 nm) and grating efficiency (>50%) compare favorably with other multimode WDM elements.
