[EN] This paper reports the first microstructured
solid-core fiber drawn from a 3D-printed preform and the
first fiber Bragg gratings inscribed in a fiber of this type.
The presented fiber is made of polycarbonate and ...
[EN] This paper is focused on the characterization of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor interrogation system based on a fiber ring laser with a semiconductor optical amplifier as the gain medium, and an in-loop electro-optical ...

Non-adiabatic tapered fibers are basic photonic components used in a wide range of applications. Here we investigate a way to increase their utility through the controllable bending of one of their tapered sections. The ...
We present a proof-of-concept experiment aimed at increasing the sensitivity of Fiber-Bragg-gratings temperature sensors by making use of a weak-value-amplification scheme. The technique requires only linear optics elements ...
[EN] This paper presents fiber Bragg grating (FBG) inscription with a pulsed 248 nm UV KrF laser in polymer optical fibers (POFs) made of different polymers, namely polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), cyclic-olefin polymer and ...

[EN] This paper presents a Fabry-Perot fiber tip sensor based on an air-liquid filled cavity. The cavity is sealed off by a thin gold coated membrane of parylene C, between 300 and 350 nm, creating a particularly flexible ...
[EN] A simple, spectral-drift-insensitive interrogation scheme for
a multicore fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based directional
curvature sensor is proposed. The basic principle is to transform
the wavelength shift of FBGs into ...

A photonic sensor based on a 10-cm-long fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is presented and experimentally validated that is dedicated to detect the presence and the position of a temperature gradient. The system is based on the ...
[EN] We have inscribed a tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) in selected cores of a multicore optical fiber. The presence of the TFBG permits to couple light from the incident guided mode to the cladding modes and to the ...
Soto, Marcelo A.; Ricchiuti, Amelia Lavinia; Zhang, Liang; Barrera Vilar, David; Sales Maicas, Salvador; Thevenaz, Luc(Optical Society of America: Open Access Journals, 2014-11-17)
A technique to enhance the response and performance of Brillouin distributed fiber sensors is proposed and experimentally validated. The method consists in creating a multi-frequency pump pulse interacting
with a matching ...
