Microbend sensor structure for use in distributed and quasi-distributed sensor systems based on selective launching and filtering of the modes in graded index multimode fiber

Blaž

This paper describes a novel optical fiber microbend sensor architecture which my be utilized in distributed and quasi-distributed measurement. The actual sensor element is graded index multimode fiber coupled to the measurand field through the usual microbend inducing structures. However, Read More …

Propagation of the fundamental mode in curved graded index multimode fiber and its application in sensor systems

Blaž

A novel principle of light transmission through very small radius bend in optical fibers is presented. The potential applications of the proposed structure are fiber optic sensors and other fiber optic systems. The design makes use of graded index multimode Read More …

Low-loss transmission through tightly bent standard telecommunication fibers

Blaž

This letter presents a principle of low-loss light transmission through tightly bent standard telecommunication optical fibers. The design is based on selective launching and filtering of the fundamental mode in standard graded index multimode fiber. The proposed system has demonstrated Read More …
