WDM POWER SUPPLY FOR IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM OF FIBRE OPTIC CONNECTORS

摘要

Monitoring and controlling the position of fibre optics connectors is a very important issue. Both autonomy and remote control of such a system are very desired and therefore energy independence must be provided. In this paper the design of an optical power supply system is given. A new idea of using the WDM technique in a power supply block is investigated. The electric power provided by a photovoltaic power converter and by a boost converter is shown. Moreover, in this paper the complete examination of efficiency of the system with different illuminations is given. The maximal output power of the system is 24.02 mW and the time required to identify a single fibre connector is t_((CYCLE) = 0.65 s.
