Terminal reflections in fiber-optic image guides.
Fibered image guides for confocal reflectance endomicroscopy suffer from Fresnel reflections at the fiber terminals, which can limit signal-to-noise ratio in these systems. A model that describes these terminal reflections is presented to better understand how they can be managed most effectively. An expression for the refractive index of termination that minimizes the reflection as a function ...
متن کاملProbing the ultimate limit of fiber-optic strain sensing.
The measurement of relative displacements and deformations is important in many fields such as structural engineering, aerospace, geophysics, and nanotechnology. Optical-fiber sensors have become key tools for strain measurements, with sensitivity limits ranging between 10(-9) and 10(-6)ε hertz (Hz)(-1/2) (where ε is the fractional length change). We report on strain measurements at the 10(-13)...
متن کاملReflective fiber-optic refractometer based on a thin-core fiber tailored Bragg grating reflection.
A novel reflective refractometer based on a thin-core fiber (TCF) sandwiched between a leading single-mode fiber (SMF) and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) imprinted SMF stub was demonstrated. The reflection from the fiber stub occurs in two well-defined wavelength bands, corresponding to the Bragg core mode and cladding modes. The TCF section functions as a tailorable bridge between the FBG core mo...
متن کاملFiber - Optic Sensing of Linear Thermal Expansion (RESEARCH NOTES)
The use of a LED fiber-optic sensor to measure displacement and linear thermal expansion is described. It has a sensitivity of about 0.6 mV/mm, a resolution of 1.25 mm, and a dynamic rang of 400 mm for displacement measurements. For thermal expansion, it shows a sensitivity of about 3.5 mV/C, and the experimental linear expansion values are in agreement with those calculated. The reported senso...
متن کاملFiber Optic Core Image Detection: Comparison of classifiers
Visual inspection of fiber ends is often required during installation or maintenance of fiber optic cabling. Automated analysis first requires accurately determining the location of the fiber core. In this paper, we compare the accuracy and reliability of several different classifiers in finding the fiber core. Classifiers such as naive bayes, perception, and three layer feed forward neural net...
