Fibre optic inclinometer based on the combination of a long-period grating and a fused taper

Authors
Frazao, O; Falate, R; Fabris, JL; Santos, JL; Ferreira, LA; Araujo, FM;

Publication
Optics InfoBase Conference Papers

Abstract
A new approach for a fibre optic modal Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on the combination of a fibre taper cascaded with a fibre LPG is presented. It is also demonstrated that such a structure can be applied for the implementation of a fibre optic inclinometer sensor. © 2006 Optical Society of America.

2006

Optical fibre intensity sensor referenced by stimulated Brillouin scattering

Authors
Baptista, JM; Marques, JM; Frazao, O; Santos, S; Santos, JL; Marques, MB;

Publication
Optics InfoBase Conference Papers

Abstract
An optical fibre intensity sensor referenced by stimulated Brillouin scattering is presented. The sensor uses Fresnel reflection at the sensor fibre end and employs an adequate relationship between Brillouin and Rayleigh scattering and Fresnel reflection. © 2006 OSA/OFS 2006.

FOURTH EUROPEAN WORKSHOP ON OPTICAL FIBRE SENSORS

Abstract
In this work an all optical hot-wire flowmeter based on a silver coated fibre incorporating a long period grating and a Bragg grating is demonstrated. Optical energy at 1480 nm propagating down the fibre is coupled by the long period grating into the fibre cladding and absorbed by the metallic coating deposited on the fibre surface over the Bragg grating position. This absorption acts like a hot-wire raising locally the fibre temperature, which is effectively detected by the FBG resonance shift. The temperature raise depends on the flow speed of the surrounding air that has the effect to cool the fibre. In this way, the FBG Bragg wavelength shift can be related with the flow speed. Results obtained demonstrate the working principle and a flow speed resolution of 0.08 m/s is demonstrated.

2006

Authors
Frazao, O; Marques, JM; Santos, JL; Marques, MB; Baptista, JM;

Publication
Optics InfoBase Conference Papers

Abstract
In this work, a Brillouin fibre laser sensor for strain and temperature discrimination is presented. The fibre laser sensor consists in a Fabry-Pérot cavity with 20 meters of optical fibre between two Bragg gratings. © 2006 OSA/OFS 2006.
