    Highly sensitive sensor for measuring material thermal expansion using a ring laser
    (IEEE, 2023) Díaz Lucas, Silvia; Fuentes Lorenzo, Omar; Torres Betancourt, Angie Tatiana; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    A new thermal expansion sensor is presented in this letter. It combines an interferometric fiber sensor and an erbium-doped fiber ring laser as the light source. The sensor consists of a combination of single-mode, hollow-core, and no-core mirror fibers. The sensor was tested on two different types of based metal, such as aluminum and steel, giving sensitivities as high as 38.7 and 5.75 nm/°C, respectively, showing good performance.

    Single-mode-multimode-single-mode fiber (SMS): exploring environmental sensing capabilities
    (IEEE, 2024-08-16) Díaz Lucas, Silvia; Armendáriz Ballesteros, Mikel; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC
    In this paper, we study the environmental sensing capabilities of a Single-Mode-Multimode-Single-Mode (SMS) fiber in a simple low-cost configuration. SMS fibers exhibit sensitivity to temperature, humidity, refractive index and strain, making them suitable for numerous applications in telecommunications, environmental monitoring, and more. Experimental results demonstrate that the sensor achieves a maximum temperature sensitivity of 4.53 nm/°C. Additionally, SMS fibers can also work as humidity sensors by absorbing or releasing moisture, leading to variations in the refractive index. Monitoring these changes allows for precise humidity measurements, with a sensitivity of 0.1548 nm/%RH. Moreover, SMS fibers show a refractive index sensitivity of 39.65 nm/RIU and strain sensitivities as high as 1.062 nm/¿¿, indicating good performance.
