Polarimetric DBR fiber laser sensor for strain-temperature discrimination
نویسندگان
چکیده
A polarimetric Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) laser sensor in a low birefringent Er-doped fiber has been proposed. The spectral overlap of two uniform fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) has been employed as filtering technique to achieve a Single Longitudinal Mode (SLM) regime. By measuring the RF beat frequency between the two orthogonal polarized lasing modes and the absolute wavelength of one mode, both strain and temperature has been determined simultaneously.

Twist sensor based on axial strain insensitive distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser.
A novel fiber-optic twist sensor based on a dual-polarization distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) fiber grating laser is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By beating the signal between the two polarizations of the laser which operates at 1543.154 nm, a signal of 30.78 MHz in frequency domain is observed. The twist will change the fiber birefringence, and resulting in the beat frequency va...
متن کاملHighly sensitive bending sensor based on Er3+-doped DBR fiber laser.
A short cavity Er(3+)-doped distributed-Bragg-reflector (DBR) fiber laser with a low polarization beat frequency has been demonstrated for bending measurement. The polarization beat frequency of the DBR laser is extremely sensitive to bending and can measure curvature changes as small as 1.8 x 10(-2) m(-1). Excellent agreement between experimental and theoretical results was obtained for bendin...
متن کاملPolarization- and frequency-stable fiber laser for magnetic-field sensing.
We report a novel polarimetric fiber laser sensor for magnetic-field-current measurement that is stable to variation of temperature and strain because it employs a Faraday rotating mirror. We obtained a sensitivity of 10.24 kHzyA with good linearity and greatly improved the signal-to-noise ratio by reducing the number of laser cavity modes with the help of a saturable absorber.
متن کاملRegenerated distributed Bragg reflector fiber lasers for high-temperature operation.
This Letter presents distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) fiber lasers for high-temperature operation at 750°C. Thermally regenerated fiber gratings were used as the feedback elements to construct an erbium-doped DBR fiber laser. The output power of the fiber laser can reach 1 mW at all operating temperatures. The output power fluctuation tested at 750°C was 1.06% over a period of 7 hours. The the...
