A multi-channel sensing system is disclosed. The multi-channel sensing system includes a multi-channel sensor connector that wavelength-divides an optical pulse output from a pulsed laser into a plurality of channels in a spectrum domain, transmits each of a plurality of optical sub-pulses generated from the wavelength division to a channel path allocated for each channel in multi-channel paths, multiplexes the plurality of optical sub-pulses passed through the multi-channel paths and outputs an optical signal including the multiplexed optical sub-pulses; and a multi-channel optical phase detector that receives the optical signal output from the multi-channel connector and a reference signal which is synchronized to the pulse laser, and detects a channel-specific electrical signal that corresponds to a timing error between each of the plurality of optical sub-pulses included in the optical signal and the reference signal. At lease one of sensors is connected to at least one of the multi-channel paths.

Multi-channel optical phase detector, multi-channel sensing system and multi-laser synchronization system

The present disclosure relates to an integrated phase detector. In an embodiment, a first multi-mode interference coupler that receives the optical signal and outputs optical signals with a plurality of modes, and a second multi-mode interference coupler that receives one of the optical signals with the plurality of modes and a modulated signal generated through performing a phase modulation on another of the optical signals with the plurality of modes by the microwave signal, and outputs a first optical interference signal and a second optical interference signal may be included.
