Fiber‐optic sensor active networking with distributed erbium‐doped fiber and Raman amplification. Laser & Photonics Reviews, 2(6), 480-497.18638899http://hdl.handle.net/11268/5403This work is meant to provide a review of different multiplexing topologies employing distributed erbium-doped fiber and Raman amplification to solve the problem of power-loss compensation in fiber-optic sensor (FOS) networks. This is a key parameter in large multiplexing networks, particularly when employing intensity-modulated sensors. These topologies are studied both theoretically and experimentally, and a comparative analysis is carried out between them. The main parameters considered in the analysis are power budget, optical signal-to-noise ratios, scalability and architecture complexity.engjournal article10.1002/lpor.200810022restricted accessFibras ópticasTelecomunicación
