    All fiber interferometer for ice detection
    (Optica Publishing Group, 2018) Arozarena Arana, Jesús Antonio; Socorro Leránoz, Abián Bentor; Del Villar, Ignacio; Díaz Lucas, Silvia; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    This work presents an etched single-mode - multimode - single-mode structure that detects the solid-to-liquid change of state of the water due to an increased refractive index sensitivity within the 1.308 - 1.321 RIU range

    Monitoring of water freeze-thaw cycle by means of an etched single-mode - multimode - single-mode fiber-optic refractometer
    (IEEE, 2023) Socorro Leránoz, Abián Bentor; Aginaga Etxamendi, Concepción Isabel; Díaz Lucas, Silvia; Urrutia Azcona, Aitor; Del Villar, Ignacio; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    As an alternative to the different technologies that permit the detection of in-situ ice formation on different surfaces, this contribution proposes the design of an etched single-mode – multimode – single-mode (E-SMS) fiber-optic-based structure as a multimode interference refractometer. This sensor provides enhanced properties with respect to a basic SMS structure, including a higher sensitivity and periodical interferometry bands that can measure surrounding refractive indices with repeatability and robustness. Since ice and water refractive indices are sufficiently different, this structure has been used to detect the freezing - thawing process of water taking place inside a freezer between -20°C and +20°C. Also, this work intends to show a proof of concept of a simple technology that can be applied in different situations, such as in smart cities, avionics, structural health monitoring or even to avoid a cold chain breakage. Inside, novel developments to better understand the working operation of the E-SMS structure are shown, together with a study on how to correlate optical and thermal measurements from a refractive index point of view.

    Vector-based pattern recognition algorithm for interferometric fiber sensor-signals analysis
    (IEEE, 2025-01-15) Valentín-Coronado, Luis M.; Martínez Manuel, Rodolfo; Esquivel-Hernández, Jonathan; Díaz Lucas, Silvia; Martínez-Guerrero, María de Los Ángeles; Armendáriz Armenteros, Miguel Ángel; LaRochelle, Sophie; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    A vector-based pattern recognition algorithm (V-PRA) for interferometric fiber sensor (IFS) signals is introduced. The proposed V-PRA transforms sensed interferometric signals into vectors to identify them by calculating the angular similarity with reference database vectors. This process accurately recognizes sensing patterns and assigns corresponding physical parameter values. The algorithm’s performance was tested in various IFS systems, including Fabry-Perot interferometers for refractive index measurement, multimode IFS for bending and strain monitoring, and multicore IFS for temperature monitoring. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the V-PRA as a specialized tool for IFSs.
