    Real time measuring system of multiple chemical parameters using microstructured optical fibers based sensors
    (IEEE, 2018) López Aldaba, Aitor; López Torres, Diego; Elosúa Aguado, César; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Auguste, Jean-Louis; Jamier, Raphael; Roy, Philippe; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
    In this paper, a multiplexing system for simultaneous interrogation of optical fiber sensors which measure different parameters is presented and validated. The whole system has been tested with 6 different sensing heads with different purposes: one temperature sensing head, two relative humidity sensors and three VOCs leak sensors; all of them based on microstructured optical fibers. The interrogation system uses the FFT technique to isolate each sensor's interference, enabling their simultaneous interrogation. The system interrogates all the sensors at frequencies up to 1 KHz, showing a good performance of each measurement without crosstalk between sensors. The developed system is independent of the sensors' purpose or of the multiplexing topology.

    Relative humidity multi-point optical sensors system based on Fast Fourier multiplexing technique
    (SPIE, 2017) López Aldaba, Aitor; López Torres, Diego; Elosúa Aguado, César; Auguste, Jean-Louis; Jamier, Raphael; Roy, Philippe; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica
    In this paper, a new multipoint optical fiber system for relative humidity measurements based on Sn02-FP (Fabry-Pérot) sensing heads and an optical interrogator as single active device is presented and characterized. The interrogation of the sensing heads is carried out by monitoring the Fast Fourier Transform phase variations of the FP (Fabry-Pérot) interference frequencies. This method allows to multiplex several sensors with different wavelength spacing interference pattern. The sensors operate within a wide humidity range (20%-90% relative humidity) with low crosstalk between them. Five sensing heads have been measured using two different channels of the optical interrogator. The availability of four channels in the interrogator allows to multiplex a higher number of sensors, reducing proportionally the cost of each sensing point.

    Simultaneous strain and temperature multipoint sensor based on microstructured optical fiber
    (IEEE, 2018) López Aldaba, Aitor; Auguste, Jean-Louis; Jamier, Raphael; Roy, Philippe; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica
    In this paper, a new sensor system for simultaneous and independent multipoint strain and temperature measurements is presented. The interrogation of the sensing heads has been carried out by monitoring their FFT phase variations. In particular, two of each microstructured optical fiber (M0F) cavity interference frequencies were used for the measures. This method is independent of the signal amplitude and also avoids the necessity of tracking the wavelength evolution in the spectrum, which can be a handicap when there are multiple interference frequency components with different sensitivities. The sensing heads present birefringent and multimodal properties and therefore both characteristics lead to their own interference with different properties and sensitivities. The multiplexing capability of the sensing heads and the interrogator method has also been tested and validated. Sensors were operated within a range of temperature 30°C-80°C and a deformation of ̴450 με was applied. Crosstalk between measurements can be corrected through simple math operations leading to independent and crosstalk-free multipoint and multiparameter sensors.
