Product Info
Introduction
YB Photonics’s DVS/DAS integrated optical module highly integrates inside our own proprietary ultra-narrow linewidth laser, pulsed EDFA, Raman amplifier, AOM and other optical components in single compact package.
DAS/DVS integrated module integrates ultra-narrow linewidth light source, AOM acousto-optic modulator, AOM driver, pulsed EDFA, optical circulator, Raman amplifier, coherent receiver module, etc., which only needs to be paired with a high-speed data acquisition card to form a set of DAS Distributed Acoustic Wave (DVS Distributed Vibration) measurement system.
The module is highly integrated, small in size, and adopts independent intellectual property rights of coherent receiver module, which has the characteristics of high signal-to-noise ratio of coherent detection and increases the sensing distance of distributed fiber optic acoustic wave sensing system.
The module is specially designed for distributed fiber optic acoustic wave sensing, perimeter security equipment vendors to provide high-quality supporting products and solutions.

FAQ:
Q：1、DVS and DAS, what is the difference between them?
A: dvs is a qualitative measurement, detecting vibration by amplitude, but amplitude and vibration are not linear, das is phase demodulation, the demodulated phase is completely linear with vibration and can completely recover the vibration or sound signal. In YB Photonics modules, you need to specify DVS or DAS module when placing an order because there is a difference in the internal implementation of these two modules; the DVS module does the de-enveloping process after the BPD, while the DAS module outputs the signal from the BPD directly.
Q：2、Your DAS Integration Module, there are V2 and V3, what is the difference between them?
A：Our DAS integrated modules are available in V2 and V3 versions, the difference between them is that V2 puts the AOM driver outside the module, while V3 integrates the AOM driver into the module. v3 is smaller and thinner in size. v2 can be built-in with a Raman amplifier, while v3 can not be built-in with a Raman amplifier, and if you need to do more than 40km distance monitoring, you need to add another independent Raman amplifier to the v3. For distance monitoring over 40km the V3 version needs to add a separate Raman amplifier for signal amplification, whereas the V2 version can be specified with an integrated Raman amplifier at the time of order.
Q：3、Does the DAS Integration Module have an integrated capture card? What kind of capture card should I choose?
A：No, there is no integrated capture card in DAS integrated module, you need to buy DAS capture card separately. If you choose 80M AOM, then you can choose 250M sample rate capture card, if you choose 200M AOM, then you can choose 1G capture card.
