Due to the growth in the use of analog fiber optic data transmission systems at the Nevada Test Site and other locations, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has recognized the need to be able to multiplex several data channels per fiber. Wavelength-division, frequency-division, and time-division multiplex techniques have been investigated. A time-division system using optically-multiplexed laser transmitters driving a common receiver was fielded on the HUNTERS TROPHY event at the NTS. Stability, noise, and dynamic range compared favorably with that seen on nonmultiplexed links. Amplitude, width, and rise time of data transmitted via the multiplexed links was consistent with that recorded from non-multiplexed links.
