This article presents a short-range fiber-optic quasi-distributed sensing device suitable for strain and temperature measurement. The sensing assembly consists of an fs laser inscribed reference mirror and a sensing array of equidistantly positioned mirrors. Utilization of the reference mirror and Read More …
This paper describes a Fabry–Pérot sensor-based measuring system for measuring fluid composition in demanding industrial applications. The design of the sensor is based on a two-parametric sensor, which enables the simultaneous measurement of temperature and refractive index (RI). The system Read More …
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 …
This paper reports on nano-strain resolution fiber-optic Fabry-Perot sensors produced by an improved selective etching method. The presented sensors exhibit high spectral sensitivity, low intrinsic temperature response, small size and mounting comparable to conventional Fiber Bragg gratings. Furthermore, the proposed Read More …
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 light-driven micromechanical oscillator is presented, which can be operated by a low optical power (in the mW, or even the µW range), can produce large mechanical displacements (>5–100 µm), and can be designed to operate at frequencies from sub-kHz up Read More …
The deposition rates of protective coatings resembling polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were measured with numerous sensors placed at different positions on the walls of a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) reactor with a volume of approximately 5 m3. The plasma was maintained Read More …
This paper presents a dielectric, all-optical thermal time-of-flight fluid flow velocity sensor. The proposed sensor utilizes a sequence of three short sections of optical fibers, which are positioned in a direction perpendicular to the measured fluid flow. One of these Read More …
This paper presents a miniature, all-silica, flow-injection sensor. The sensor consists of an optical fiber-coupled microcell for spectral absorption measurements and a microfluidic reagent injection system. The proposed sensor operates in back reflection mode and, with its compact dimensions, (no Read More …
This paper presents a short response time, all-silica, gas-flow-velocity sensor. The active section of the sensor consists of a 16 µm diameter, highly optically absorbing micro-wire, which is heated remotely by a 980 nm light source. The heated microwire forms Read More …
