Detection of Solvents using a Distributed Fibre Optic Sensor
Introduction: In this Letter an optical fibre sensor capable of making fully distributed measurements of a wide range of solvents is identified. Microbending principles have been used to develop the sensor such that it responds on contact with liquid solvents, typically within 30 seconds of exposure. The sensor incorporates a swelling polymer and optical fibre components that are readily availa...
متن کاملDistributed Fibre Optic Sensors for the Detection of Liquid Spills
A range of distributed fibre optic sensors for the detection and location of aqueous, chemical and hydrocarbon fluid spills is presented. The sensors incorporate polymers that convert the swelling into a localised loss on an optical fibre when fluid exposure occurs. Optical Time Domain Reflectometry (OTDR) techniques are employed to rapidly detect and locate target liquids and chemicals at mult...
متن کاملSensitivity Enhancement of Fiber Optic Diesel Adulteration Detection Sensor Using Stripped Clad SBend Section
A novel geometry for enhancing the sensitivity of intensity modulated refractometric fiber optic sensor for detection of adulteration level in diesel by kerosene is proposed. In this multimode plastic optical fiber is uncladded for specific length and bent into S shape. This geometry is simulated and analyzed using Beam Propagation Method in Beam prop RSOFT software. When sensor is immersed in ...
متن کاملIntegrity Testing of Pile Cover Using Distributed Fibre Optic Sensing
The integrity of cast-in-place foundation piles is a major concern in geotechnical engineering. In this study, distributed fibre optic sensing (DFOS) cables, embedded in a pile during concreting, are used to measure the changes in concrete curing temperature profile to infer concrete cover thickness through modelling of heat transfer processes within the concrete and adjacent ground. A field tr...
متن کاملRole of the interface between distributed fibre optic strain sensor and soil in ground deformation measurement
Recently the distributed fibre optic strain sensing (DFOSS) technique has been applied to monitor deformations of various earth structures. However, the reliability of soil deformation measurements remains unclear. Here we present an integrated DFOSS- and photogrammetry-based test study on the deformation behaviour of a soil foundation model to highlight the role of strain sensing fibre-soil in...
