Single - Crystal Sapphire Optical Fiber Sensor Instrumentation

Fiber refractometer based on a fiber Bragg grating and single-mode-multimode-single-mode fiber structure.

A refractive index (RI) sensor based on a novel fiber structure that consists of a single-mode-multimode-single-mode (SMS) fiber structure followed by a fiber Bragg grating was demonstrated. The multimode fiber in the SMS structure excites cladding modes within output single-mode fiber (SMF) and recouple the reflected cladding Bragg wavelength to the input SMF core. By measuring the relative Br...

Fiber Optic Bragg-Grating Sensors

In-fibre Bragg gratings are sensor elements which are photo-written into optical fibre using intense ultra-violet laser beams and have the potential for the measurement of strain/deformation and temperature with applications reported including monitoring of highways, bridges, aerospace components and in chemical and biological sensors. The development of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) measuring sy...

Fiber Bragg Grating Temperature Sensor

 In this paper, we analyze theoretically and experimentally the performance of fiber Bragg gratings as temperature sensors. These sensors have potential applications in monitoring the temperature in aerospace structures and smart structures. Index Terms  Fiber Bragg Gratings, Optical Fibers and Temperature Sensors.

Tunable phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating based on femtosecond laser fabricated in-grating bubble.

We present a type of phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings based on an in-grating bubble fabricated by femtosecond (fs) laser ablation together with a fusion-splicing technique. A microchannel vertically crossing the bubble is drilled by fs laser to allow liquid to flow in or out. By filling different refractive index (RI) liquid into the bubble, the phase-shift peak is found to experience a linea...
