in this study, we have theoretically investigated designing possibility of a seismometer using fiber bragg grating (fbg) and metal bellows pairs attached on a mechanical system. this new seismometer can record earthquakes according to sensitivity of fiber optic to changes in physical parameters such as stress and strain. firstly, in order to understand the quantity and quality of sensor perform...

today, due to qualitative growth and scientific advances, energy, especially electricity is increasingly needed by human society. one of the almost endless and pure energy which have been paid attention over the years is the solar energy. solar cells directly convert solar energy into electrical energy and are one of the main blocks of photovoltaic systems. significant improvement has been made...

This paper presents the design and simulation of a rectangular plate optical pressure sensor waveguide. The waveguide has a nano-scale Bragg grating introduced on the upper half area. The Bragg grating shows a considerable deformation, when it is subjected to tangential strain, which forms the basic sensing principal for the design. The free space wavelength of 1.55μm and Bragg spacing of 0.5μm...

We propose a Gaussian sampled fiber Bragg grating for multi-parameter sensing system. The sampled fiber Bragg grating combines the characteristics of fiber Bragg grating and long period grating. The transfer matrix method has been used to obtain the transmission spectrum of the grating. The shifts in narrowband loss peak and broadband loss peak in the transmission spectrum have been utilized to...

For demonstrating widely tunable external cavity lasers operating for near-infrared (NIR) wavelength, a flexible polymer waveguide with an imbedded Bragg grating is incorporated. Due to the superior flexibility of the polymer material, the reflection wavelength of the Bragg grating is widely tunable by imposing tensile and compressive strains on the flexible Bragg grating. A third-order Bragg g...

We report on the fabrication of a superstructure Bragg grating in a planar polymer substrate. Based on a twofold illumination process an integrated waveguide and a superstructure Bragg grating are subsequently written into bulk polymethylmethacrylate by UV-induced refractive index modification. The measured reflected spectrum of the superstructure Bragg grating exhibits multiple reflection peak...

We demonstrate that soliton generation in a fiber laser containing a fiber Bragg grating exhibits spectral enhancement near the Bragg resonance wavelength. The Bragg grating leads to a spectral hole on the soliton spectrum while the observed enhancement is always located at the long wavelength side of the Bragg resonance.

High temperature is one of the important reasons causing the fire in power system. Therefore, the early warning could be told by monitoring the temperature and effective measures could be taken. The corresponding accidents will be reduced. The traditional transformer winding temperature monitoring methods are electrical signal measurement and infrared measurement. Such electrical signal sensors...
