Zusammenfassung:A disclosed remote work system (100, 120) includes a light source (102) and a nonlinear converter optically coupled to and remote from the light source (102). The nonlinear light converter (108A) converts a narrowband light pulse received from the light source (102) to a converted spectrum light pulse. The system also includes a work element coupled to the nonlinear light converter (108A). The work element (110A) performs a work operation using the converted spectrum light pulse. A related remote work method includes generating a narrowband light pulse and conveying the narrowband light pulse to a remote location. The method also includes converting the narrowband light pulse to a converted spectrum light pulse at the remote location. The method also includes performing a sense operation or work operation at the remote location using the converted spectrum light pulse.
