[EN] A plastic filament of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was fabricated by extrusion. The mode confinement was simulated using numerical software. The idea is to study how the light intensity changes inside the plastic ...
[EN] In order to provide high accuracy in shape measurement with multicore optical fibres, characterization and calibration procedures are an important part of sensor preparation. Some procedures can be considered mandatory ...

We report on temperature sensors based on regenerated fiber Bragg gratings (RFBGs) for measurements up to 1100°C. The annealing process required to regenerate such gratings makes the optical fiber too delicate, thus making ...
[EN] A compact optical fiber sensor by embedding fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) in strongly coupled multicore fiber (SCMCF) is proposed for multipoint and multiparameter sensing. To build the device, two FBGs with different ...
