Part 11: Fibre Bragg Grating type sensors in composites
Introduction Recent studies have shown that Fibre Bragg Gratings are well suited to studying the mechanical behaviour of composites [1]. A Fibre Bragg Grating is a small segment of optical fibre with a core of germanium doped silica which gives a periodic and permanent perturbation of the refractive index. An FBG acts like a selective wavelength mirror, reflecting a particular wavelength (Fig. ...
متن کاملRaman Spectra of a PMMA Microstructured Optical Fibre and Direct Measurement of Its Gain Coefficient
A polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) is fabricated and characterized. Using the cut-back technique the fiber loss is measured which is higher than the step-index silica fibers. Through a novel experimental scheme, the backward Stokes spectrum of the fabricated mPOF is recorded over a range exceeding 3000 cm‑1 during the cut-back method and compared ...
متن کاملPhotosensitivity in tin-doped silica optical fibres
Permanent gratings (refractive index modulation ~3x10 ) were written in tin-doped silica -4 optical fibres with low levels of SnO (~0.15 mol %). In Ge-doped silica, ~10 mol% GeO is 2 2 required to produce comparable photorefractivity under similar conditions. Photosensitivity in tin-doped silica optical fibres G. Brambilla, V. Pruneri, L.

متن کاملFabrication of Polymer Optical Fibre (POF) Gratings
Gratings inscribed in polymer optical fibre (POF) have attracted remarkable interest for many potential applications due to their distinctive properties. This paper overviews the current state of fabrication of POF gratings since their first demonstration in 1999. In particular we summarize and discuss POF materials, POF photosensitivity, techniques and issues of fabricating POF gratings, as we...
متن کاملSampled Bragg gratings in chalcogenide (As(2)S(3)) rib-waveguides.
We have written a sampled Bragg grating into a highly photosensitive chalcogenide (As(2)S(3)) rib-waveguide using a scanning Sagnac interferometer. The grating exhibits evenly spaced rejection peaks over a 40 nm bandwidth. We estimate the induced refractive index change of the waveguide to be over 0.03 by matching the measured spectrum to numerical solutions of the coupled mode equations while ...
