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) ...
A method for the controllable fabrication of optical fiber-based localized surface plasmon resonance sensors
(Nature, 2022)
[EN] Optical fiber-based Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (OF-LSPR) biosensors have emerged as an ultra-sensitive miniaturized tool for a great variety of applications. Their fabrication by the chemical immobilization ...
Multi-parameter optical gauge based on mode coupling effect in asymmetric index multi-core fibres
(Elsevier, 2022-07)
An optical gauge based on coupled multi-core fiber is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By using direct laser writing to selectively break the fiber index profile symmetry, asymmetric mode coupling between cores ...
An Architecture for On-Line Measurement of the Tip Clearance and Time of Arrival of a Bladed Disk of an Aircraft Engine
(MDPI, 2017-10)
Safety and performance of the turbo-engine in an aircraft is directly affected by the health of its blades. In recent years, several improvements to the sensors have taken place to monitor the blades in a non-intrusive ...
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 ...
An Optical Fiber Bundle Sensor for Tip Clearance and Tip Timing Measurements in a Turbine Rig
(MDPI, 2013-06)
When it comes to measuring blade-tip clearance or blade-tip timing in turbines, reflective intensity-modulated optical fiber sensors overcome several traditional limitations of capacitive, inductive or discharging probe ...
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 ...
Polymer-Optical-Fiber Lasers and Amplifiers Doped with Organic Dyes
(MDPI, 2011-09)
Polymer optical fibers (POFs) doped with organic dyes can be used to make efficient lasers and amplifiers due to the high gains achievable in short distances. This paper analyzes the peculiarities of light amplification ...
