Microbend Point and Distributed Fiber Optic Corrosion Sensing

Corrosion-induced optical fiber microbending is demonstrated within this article as an efficient method for the design of sensors for the detection and localization of corrosion events on monitored metal surfaces. The proposed sensors were demonstrated in a single point and Read More …

Miniature magneto-optic angular position sensor

This Letter describes a miniature Fabry–Perot, contactless, magneto-optic sensor for angular position measurement. The sensor utilizes a magneto-optic fluid comprising barium hexaferrite nanoplatelets that become birefringent in the presence of an external magnetic field and a compact fiber-optic sensor system Read More …

A miniature fabry perot sensor for twist/rotation, strain and temperature measurements based on a four-core fiber

In this article, a novel miniature Fabry-Perot twist/rotation sensor using a four core fiber and quadruple interferometer setup is presented and demonstrated. Detailed sensor modeling, analytical evaluation and test measurement assessment were conducted in this contribution. The sensor structure comprises Read More …

Miniature, all-fiber rotation sensor based on temperature compensated wave plate

This paper presents a miniature, all-fiber fiber optic twist/rotation sensor. The proposed sensor consists of polarization maintaining lead-in fiber (PMF), a short section of standard (fully circularly symmetric) single-mode fiber, which is exposed to twist/axial rotation, an all-fiber quarter-wave wave Read More …

In-line, fiber-optic polarimetric twist/torsion sensor

This letter presents an optical fiber twist/torsion sensor that utilizes dissimilar polarization-preserving characteristics of standard single-mode and high-birefringence fibers. When only one polarization mode of the highbirefringence fiber is excited, spatial orientation of the E-field vector follows the fiber’s principal Read More …
