Multiparameter miniature fiber-optic sensor : design and signal interrogation
Miniature, all-silica, fiber-optic sensors capable of independent measurement of at least two different parameters arepresented. Sensors were produced by a micromachining process based on the selective etching of specially designed phosphorous-doped optical fibers and an assembly-procedure that included fiber cleaving, Read More …
All-fiber, thermo-optic liquid level sensor
This paper proposes an all-optical-fiber sensor for continuous measurements of liquid levels. The proposed sensor utilizes an optically absorbing vanadium doped optical fiber, which is configured as a long-gauge, optically-heated, fiber-optic, Fabry-Perot interferometer that is immersed into the measured liquid. Read More …
Miniature fiber-optic Fabry-Perot refractive index sensor for gas sensing with a resolution of 5×10−9 RIU
This paper presents a micro-machined, high-resolution refractive index sensor suitable for monitoring of small changes in the composition of gases. Experimentally demonstrated measurement resolution, induced by gas composition variation, proved to be in the range of 5×10-9 of a Refractive Read More …
All-fiber micromachined microcell
This Letter presents an open-path, all-fiber microcell and a micromachining method for its production. The proposed micromachining method utilizes the selective etching of a purposely designed phosphorus-doped fiber that is spliced in between two standard lead-in fibers. Microcells with various Read More …
