The Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor is used to detect the temperature of the high voltage cable. The temperature measurement system is constructed and the functions of each part of the system is stated in detail. This temperature measurement systems presented in this paper is usefull for the operation of the power cable.

In this paper, a fiber optic based sensor capable of fault detection in both radial and network overhead transmission power line systems is investigated. Bragg wavelength shift is used to measure the fault current and detect fault in power systems. Magnetic fields generated by currents in the overhead transmission lines cause a strain in magnetostrictive material which is then detected by Fiber...

A temperature-compensated material of fiber Bragg grating (FBG), which has negative thermal -expansion coefficient has been presented. The temperature coefficient of FBGs’ center wavelength is less than 0.0005 nm/°C after three-layer-structure temperature-compensated package under tension. For the first time, PMD of FBG with and without temperature compensation has been detailedly studied and m...

A simple fiber-Bragg-grating (FBG) sensor system based on a linear-cavity fiber laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The lasing wavelength shift resulting from the temperature variation on this sensing element is discriminated by two FBGs. These two FBGs, acting as wavelength discriminators, are used to increase the real-time measurement range for monitoring the temperature variat...

A liquid core waveguide as a refractometer is proposed. Microtunnels were created in standard optical fiber using tightly focused femtoscond laser inscription and chemical etching. A 1.2(h)x125(d) x500(l) mum micro-slot engraved along a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) was used to construct liquid core waveguide by filling the slot with index matching oils. The device was used to measure refractive in...

We propose an all-fiber method for the generation of ultrafast shaped pulse train bursts from a single pulse based on Fourier Series Developments (FDSs). The implementation of the FSD based filter only requires the use of a very simple non apodized Superimposed Fiber Bragg Grating (S-FBG) for the generation of the Shaped Output Pulse Train Burst (SOPTB). In this approach, the shape, the period ...

A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor for detection of ultrasonic waves in liquids and solid structures is investigated. The sensor contains a fiber probe with a FBG, a tunable narr...

In this paper we study the use of a new code called Random Diagonal (RD) code for Spectral Amplitude Coding (SAC) optical Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) networks, using Fiber Bragg-Grating (FBG), FBG consists of a fiber segment whose index of reflection varies periodically along its length. RD code is constructed using code level and data level, one of the important properties of this cod...

Fiber Bragg gratings have found widespread application in sensor systems, e. g. for temperature, strain or refractive index measurements. The concept of fiber Bragg gratings allows also in a simple way the realisation of arrays of such sensors. The development of such optical fiber sensor systems often requires special fibers and grating structures which may go beyond more conventional Bragg gr...

In conventional ultrasound detection in structures, a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is glued on or embedded in the structure. However, application of strain to the structure can influence the sensitivity of the FBG toward ultrasound and can prevent its effective detection. An FBG can work as a strain-insensitive ultrasound sensor when it is not directly glued to the monitored structure, but is inst...
