ResumoIn this paper, three different double Raman fiber bus networks are compared and demonstrated experimentally for the first time as a means of gathering information from wavelength-division-multiplexed optical sensors: the double-bus scheme, the improved double-bus configuration, and the hybrid topology. We report how these structures reduce the received amplified-spontaneous-scattering noise generated. This low-noise configuration yields signal-to-noise ratios over 43 dB and increases the number of sensors that could be multiplexed in a single structure. Furthermore, the last one enables the reutilization of the gratings' wavelengths
