Intrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometric Fiber Sensor Based on Ultra-Short Bragg Gratings for Quasi-Distributed Strain and Temperature Measurements
(Abstract) The health monitoring of smart structures in civil engineering is becoming more and more important as in-situ structural monitoring would greatly reduce structure life-cycle costs and improve reliability. The distributed strain and temperature sensing is highly desired in large structures where strain and temperature at over thousand points need to be measured simultaneously. It is d...
متن کاملMeasurement Technique Using a Fabry-Perot Cavity
A high precision measurement technique for characterizing the propagation loss in silica low-loss optical waveguides, based on measuring the contrast of a Fabry-Perot cavity, is demonstrated. The cavity consists of the waveguide coupled to two polarization-maintaining fibers, each end facet coated with dielectric mirrors, leaving the reflectivity as an adjustable parameter. The contrast is meas...
متن کاملCrescent shaped Fabry-Perot fiber cavity for ultra-sensitive strain measurement
Optical Fabry-Perot interferometer sensors based on inner air-cavity is featured with compact size, good robustness and high strain sensitivity, especially when an ultra-thin air-cavity is adopted. The typical shape of Fabry-Perot inner air-cavity with reflection mode of operation is elliptic, with minor axis along with and major axis perpendicular to the fiber length. The first reflection surf...
متن کاملQuasi Distributed OTDR Crack Sensor for Reinforced Concrete Structures
A quasi-distributed fiber optic sensor is developed for embedment in concrete structures. The sensor principles are simple, and therefore, practical for crack detection and deformation measurement in civil structural applications. The distributed sensor developed herein operates based on the intensity measurements of optical power. The sensor consists of a number of individual segments on one l...
متن کاملDouble-Cavity Fabry-Perot Filters
Fabry-Perot Filters are major candidates for use as demultiplexers in wavelength division multiple access networks. In this paper we investigate the crosstalk limitations of such filters, compare their performances, and optimize the filter design to minimize the crosstalk degradation. 1 Bol.h witli the al)()rt;l.orlo for informltaiou a.icl I)ecision Ssleties. ilT.
