Compact optical fiber lasers and optical fiber sensors assisted by femtosecond laser inscription of plane-by-plane FBGs
Development of a high temperature sensor based on optical fiber l aser generated from a cavity of reduced dimensions (43 mm) in Er-doped fiber. The mirror FBGs have been inscribed with femtosecond laser using the slit beam ... -
Distributed humidity sensor for moisture-front monitoring in soils
In this contribution, high spatial resolution distributed humidity sensing was demonstrated for moisture-front monitoring in soils by using polyimide coated optical fiber. -
Enhanced optical fiber lasers and optical fiber sensors assisted by micro-drilled optical fibers
Enhanced OFS assisted by micro-drilled optical fibers acting as mirrors are demonstrated. Strain sensitivity improved more than one order of magnitude in comparison with FBG sensors using a 50 μm-waist micro-drilled taper ... -
Fiber cavity ring down and gain amplification effect
The effect of an erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) placed inside the fiber ring of a cavity ring down (CRD) configuration is studied. The limitations and advantages of this configuration are discussed, and the study of ... -
Generation of lossy mode resonances with different nanocoatings deposited on coverslips
The generation of lossy mode resonances (LMRs) with a setup based on lateral incidence of light in coverslips is a simple platform that can be used for sensing. Here the versatility of this platform is proved by studying ... -
Improving the width of lossy mode resonances in a reflection configuration D-shaped fiber by nanocoating laser ablation
The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of lossy mode resonances (LMRs) in the optical spectrum depends on the homogeneity of the thin film deposited. In this Letter, a method for improving the FWHM is applied for an LMR ... -
