Intelligent Labeling of Fiber Optic Arrays
Publishing in the journal International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, the team led by researchers based at the Guangdong and Hong Kong Joint Research Center for Optical Fiber Sensors proposed an all-optical labeling method with encryption property, which uses the feature. Fiber sensing scientists from Shenzhen University have developed an encrypted fiber optic tag that can be used for all-optical labeling and recognition of optical transmission channels such as access networks. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with optical fiber sensing (OFS) is transforming the capabilities of modern sensing systems, enabling smarter, more adaptive, and higher-performance solutions across diverse applications. Optical fibers are typically used in telecommunications services for data transmission, where the use of fiber tags is essential to distinguish between the different transmission fibers or channels and thus ensure the working functionality of the communication system. In this work, we propose and demonstrate an encrypted optical fiber tag based on an ultra-low-loss encoded cladding-type fiber Bragg grating (cladding-FBG) array.
