Physical parameter adjustment for a power over fiber device with a self-developed numerical model of optical propagation in the seafloor observatory context

摘要

In previous papers, the authors proposed a flexible solution to extend a fixed, cabled seabed observatory with a single mode optical fiber transporting both energy and data, over several kilometers. The main topic of this paper is the optimization of the physical parameters used in our numerical model of optical propagation, in order to obtain the best fit between simulation and experimental characterization. This should facilitate the development of new network topologies.
