Compact Omnidirectional Multicore Fiber-Based Vector Bending Sensor
(Nature, 2021-03-16)
We propose and demonstrate a compact and simple vector bending sensor capable of distinguishing any direction and amplitude with high accuracy. The sensor consists of a short segment of asymmetric multicore fiber (MCF) ...
Twin-core fiber sensor integrated in laser cavity
(Nature, 2022)
In this work, we report on a twin-core fiber sensor system that provides improved spectral efficiency, allows for multiplexing and gives low level of crosstalk. Pieces of the referred strongly coupled multicore fiber are ...
Geometric optics analysis of inverted graded index fibers
(IOP, 2022)
We derive a general solution based on geometric optics that describes the light propagation properties in multimode optical fibers with inverted refractive index profiles. Using this general solution, we classify rays ...
Optical Fiber Sensors for Aircraft Structural Health Monitoring
(MDPI, 2015-06)
Aircraft structures require periodic and scheduled inspection and maintenance operations due to their special operating conditions and the principles of design employed to develop them. Therefore, structural health monitoring ...
Fabrication and Characterization of Polymer Optical Fibers Doped with Perylene-Derivatives for Fluorescent Lighting Applications
(MDPI, 2017-08)
Four different dye-doped polymer optical fibers (POFs) have been fabricated following a two-step fabrication process of preform extrusion and fiber drawing, using poly-(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) as host material and dye ...
Fabrication of Active Polymer Optical Fibers by Solution Doping and Their Characterization
(MDPI, 2018-12-31)
This paper employs the solution-doping technique for the fabrication of active polymer optical fibers (POFs), in which the dopant molecules are directly incorporated into the core of non-doped uncladded fibers. Firstly, ...
Effects of Fabrication Methods on the Performance of Luminescent Solar Concentrators Based on Doped Polymer Optical Fibers
(MDPI, 2021-01-28)
In this work, we detail two types of fabrication processes of four polymer optical fibers doped with lumogen dyes. The fiber preforms have been manufactured with two different methods: extrusion and casting. We have compared ...
Study of the Influence of Various Stress-Based Mechanisms on Polarization of an SM mPOF for the Development of Useful Devices
(IEEE, 2017-07-15)
In contrast to conventional polymer optical fibres (POFs), single-mode microstructured POFs (SM mPOF) exhibit polarization properties that make them potentially interesting for their use in the design and development of ...
Accurate Strain Sensing Based On Super-Mode Interference In Strongly Coupled Multi-Core Optical Fibres
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06-30)
We report on the use of a multi-core fibre (MCF) comprising strongly-coupled cores for accurate strain sensing. Our MCF is designed to mode match a standard single mode optical fibre. This allows us to fabricate simple MCF ...
Design, Fabrication and Testing of a High-Sensitive Fibre Sensor for Tip Clearance Measurements
(MDPI, 2018-08)
A highly sensitive fibre bundle-based reflective optical sensor has been designed and fabricated for Tip Clearance measurements in a turbine rig. The sensor offers high spatial and temporal resolution. The sensor probe ...
