POWER-OVER-FIBER SYSTEM
DRIVE
December 8, 2022
To improve the optical power supply efficiency, a power-over-fiber system includes a power sourcing equipment including a semiconductor laser that oscillates with electric power to output feed light, a powered device including a photoelectric conversion element that converts the feed light into electric power, a plurality of optical fiber cables that transmit the feed light, a measurer that measures a distance from the power sourcing equipment to the powered device, and a control device that controls the power sourcing equipment to output the feed light after compensating for an amount of attenuation of the feed light according to a transmission distance on the basis of the distance from the power sourcing equipment to the powered device measured by the measurer.
