Distributed optical fibre sensing in synthetic fibre ropes and cables
Distributed strain measurements on synthetic fibre ropes as used in marine applications are reported. The ropes incorporate single mode fibre-optic sensors for strain measurement. A Brillouin-amplification-based distributed strain measuring system has been utilised to interrogate the fibre sensors incorporated into a parallel yarn aramid rope. Initial results are presented to conclusively demon...
متن کاملEnhanced Brillouin Distributed Strain and Temperature Sensing for Structural Health Monitoring in Industrial Applications
The quest for energy is pushing fibre based monitoring into new frontiers. Similarly, structural health monitoring is also demanding advanced monitoring solutions. The combination of Brillouin optical time domain analyzers with specifically designed sensing cables and proper analysis tools is shown to be a perfect match for these challenging applications.
متن کاملDetrimental effect of modulation instability on distributed optical fibre sensors using stimulated Brillouin scattering
Modulation instability can limit the resolution and the range of distributed fibre sensors based on stimulated Brillouin scattering. In this paper we analyse this process and suggest adequate methods to overcome it.
متن کاملDistributed optical fibre sensors based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering employing multimode Fabry-Pérot lasers
Proposed and characterised is the use of multi-longitudinal mode Fabry-Pérot laser sources, in distributed optical fibre sensors based on spontaneous Brillouin scattering, for simultaneous strain and temperature measurements. Experimental results show that, by using such multi-longitudinal mode lasers, it is possible to measure the Brillouin spectrum, even if the overall laser spectral linewidt...
متن کاملDistributed shape sensing using Brillouin scattering in multi-core fibers.
A theoretical and experimental study on the response of Brillouin scattering in multi-core optical fibers (MCF) under different curving conditions is presented. Results demonstrate that the Brillouin frequency shift of the off-center cores in MCF is highly bending-dependent, showing a linear dependence on the fiber curvature. This feature is here exploited to develop a new kind of distributed o...
