Spatial Frequency Multiplexing of Fiber-Optic Interferometric Refractive Index Sensors Based on Graded-Index Multimode Fibers
Fiber-optic interferometric sensors based on graded-index multimode fibers have very high refractive-index sensitivity, as we previously demonstrated. In this paper, spatial-frequency multiplexing of this type of fiber-optic refractive index sensors is investigated. It is estimated that multiplexing of more than 10 such sensors is possible. In the multiplexing scheme, one of the sensors is used...
متن کاملMultimode interference tapered fiber refractive index sensors.
Real-time monitoring of the fabrication process of tapering down a multimode-interference-based fiber structure is presented. The device is composed of a pure silica multimode fiber (MMF) with an initial 125 μm diameter spliced between two single-mode fibers. The process allows a thin MMF with adjustable parameters to obtain a high signal transmittance, arising from constructive interference am...
متن کاملCoherence Multiplexing of Fiber-optic Interferometric Sensors
This paper describes a method of multiplexing several optical signals onto a single spatial channel (e.g., a single-mode fiber) using a short coherence length continuous wave light source. Several system configurations which utilize this technique are proposed, and some design considerations are discussed. Experimental results for a single sensor and receiver are presented and compared with the...
متن کاملFiber comb filters based on UV-writing Bragg gratings in graded-index multimode fibers.
We report a new kind of comb filters based on fiber Bragg gratings in graded-index multimode fibers. It produces two groups of spectra with a total of 36 reflection peaks that correspond to 18 principal modes and cross coupled modes. The mode indices and wavelength spacings have been investigated theoretically and experimentally. This kind of comb filters may be used to construct multi-waveleng...
متن کاملAnalysis of the use of tapered graded-index polymer optical fibers for refractive-index Sensors.
The behavior of tapered graded-index polymer optical fibers is analyzed computationally for different refractive indices of the surrounding medium. This serves to clarify the main parameters affecting their possible performance as refractive-index sensors and extends an existing study of similar structures in glass fibers. The ray-tracing method is employed, its specific implementation is expla...
