Publication Open Access Optical fiber sensors for asphalt structures monitoring(Optica Publishing Group, 2016) Bravo Acha, Mikel; Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; Leandro González, Daniel; Loayssa Lara, Alayn; Urricelqui Polvorinos, Javier; Bravo Acha, A.; Bravo Navas, M.; Mitxelena, J. R.; Martínez Mazo, J. J.; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzarenA novel optical fiber installation method was explored for asphalt monitoring. Glassfiber polymer encapsulated SMF was installed in the intermediate and surface layers in order to study the strain sensitivity with a distributed strain interrogator.Publication Open Access Compound lasing fiber optic ring resonators for sensing(SPIE, 2014-06-02) Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; González Herráez, Miguel; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio IngeniaritzaIn this work, we present a new method for increasing simultaneously the sensitivity and interrogation stability of fiberoptic intensity sensors. The configuration is based on a double-coupler ring resonator. On one side, the attenuation sensitivity of the sensor is enhanced by placing it inside a ring resonator. On the other side, the stability of the interrogation method is rendered close to perfect by creating an external lasing ring resonator with matched spectral response. The resulting lasers allow the stable interrogation of the sensors with an impressive sensitivity enhancement. In our experiments, the dynamic range of the intensity sensor (and consequently its sensitivity) is increased 15 dB by using this laser-based interrogation system. Simultaneously, the instability of the system is reduced to ±0.05 dB. In comparison with systems based on external interrogation, our method is >100 times more stable and also simpler, as no wavelength tunable elements are required.Publication Open Access SnO2-MOF-Fabry-Pérot humidity optical sensor system based on Fast Fourier transform technique(SPIE, 2016) López Aldaba, Aitor; López Torres, Diego; Ascorbe Muruzabal, Joaquín; Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; Elosúa Aguado, César; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Arregui San Martín, Francisco Javier; Corres Sanz, Jesús María; Auguste, Jean-Louis; Jamier, Raphael; Roy, Philippe; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y ElectrónicaIn this paper, a new sensor system for relative humidity measurements based on a SnO2 sputtering deposition on a microstructured optical fiber (MOF) low-finesse Fabry-Pérot (FP) sensing head is presented and characterized. The interrogation of the sensing head is carried out by monitoring the Fast Fourier Transform phase variations of the FP interference frequency. This method is low-sensitive to signal amplitude variations and also avoids the necessity of tracking the evolution of peaks and valleys in the spectrum. The sensor is operated within a wide humidity range (20%-90% relative humidity) with a maximum sensitivity achieved of 0.14rad/%. The measurement method uses a commercial optical interrogator as the only active element, this compact solution allows real time analysis of the data.Publication Open Access Comparative study of ring and random cavities for fiber lasers(Optical Society of America, 2014) Fernández Vallejo, Montserrat; Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaAn experimental comparison of three fiber laser structures with the same Raman gain medium is presented in order to establish the main pros and cons of each basic scheme. The first fiber laser is based on a hybrid ring–random fiber laser, the second one is a pure ring fiber laser, and the last one is a random fiber laser. Several aspects have been taken into account in the study. First, from the optical point of view, the parameters of interest compared are output power, lasing threshold, slope efficiency, power fluctuations, and the longitudinal modes have been analyzed. Second, the possible utilization of fiber lasers in digital modulated optical communication systems is also studied.Publication Open Access Narrow-linewidth multi-wavelength random distributed feedback laser(IEEE / OSA, 2015) Leandro González, Daniel; Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; Ardanaz, Diego; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaIn this work, narrow-band emission lines are generated by means of two random distributed feedback fiber laser schemes. Spectral line-widths as narrow as 3.2 pm have been measured, which significantly improves previous reported results. The laser is analyzed with the aim of obtaining a spectral line-width as narrow as possible. Additionally a variation of this setup for multi-wavelength operation is also validated. Both schemes present a simple topology that use a combination of phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings and regular fiber Bragg gratings as filtering elements.Publication Open Access Single-longitudinal mode laser structure based on a very narrow filtering technique(Optical Society of America, 2013) Rodríguez Cobo, Luis; Quintela, M. A.; Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; López Higuera, José Miguel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaA narrow filtering technique based on the spectral overlapping of two uniform FBGs and applied to obtain a Single Longitudinal Mode (SLM) laser is proposed and demonstrated in this work. The two FBGs are spectrally detuned to reduce their coincident reflection response narrowing the equivalent filter bandwidth. A proof-of-concept linear laser has been built and tested exhibiting SLM operation even with temperature and strain variations.Publication Open Access Control of the strain sensitivity using a suspended core photonic crystal fiber sensing head(SPIE, 2014-06-02) Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Kobelke, J.; Schuster, K.; Santos, José Luís; Frazão, Orlando; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaIn this work a strain sensor based on a suspended core fiber is proposed. The sensor comprises a suspended core PCF between SMFs and is based on the multimode interference generated in these transitions. A strain sensitivity study for different sensing heads and stage separation lengths was carried out showing a sensitivity of -2.42 pm/με for the best case. Also the sensing head was tested for curvature and temperature, showing in the first case that it is insensitive to curvature effects, and secondly, that for small sensor lengths it was insensitive to temperature variations.Publication Open Access Simultaneous measurement of humidity and vibration based on a microwire sensor system using Fast Fourier Transform technique(IEEE, 2016) Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; López Aldaba, Aitor; Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana; López Bautista, María del Carmen; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaThis paper presents a new sensor system for vibration and relative humidity measurements based on its interaction with the evanescent field of a microwire. The interrogation of the sensing head is carried out by monitoring the fast Fourier transform (FFT) phase of one of the FFT peaks of the microwire transmission signal. This technique is not dependent of the signal amplitude and also eludes the requisite of tracking the wavelength evolution in the spectrum, which can be a handicap when there are multiple interference frequency components with different sensitivities. The point sensor is able to measure a wide humidity range (20%-70% relative humidity) with a maximum sensitivity reached of 0.14πrad/% relative humidity. This microwire sensor is also operated within a frequency range from 320 to 1300 Hz with a sensitivity of around 0.0051 nm -1 /Hz. Finally, due to the system uses an optical interrogator as unique active element, the system presents a cost-effective feature.Publication Open Access Simultaneous strain and temperature measure based on a single suspended core photonic crystal fiber(SPIE, 2014-06-02) Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Kobelke, J.; Schuster, K.; Santos, José Luís; Frazão, Orlando; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaIn this work a simultaneous strain and temperature sensor based on a suspended core fiber is proposed. The sensor comprises a 3mm suspended core PCF between SMFs and is based on the combination of two multimodal interferences with different frequency fringe patterns. The interference of the both signal has different sensitivity responses to strain and temperature. Thought a low-pass frequency filtering of the detected spectrum, the wavelength shift of the two interferences can be measured allowing the discrimination of strain and temperature simultaneously. The resolutions of this sensor are 0.45 ºC and 4.02 με.Publication Open Access Low noise dual-wavelength erbium fiber laser in single-longitudinal-mode operation(Springer, 2012) Rota Rodrigo, Sergio; Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana; Fernández Vallejo, Montserrat; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaA new stable dual-wavelength fiber-ring laser based on erbium-doped fiber amplification is reported. The laser is based on ring resonators and employs fiber Bragg gratings to select the operation wavelengths. The topology of the laser has a significant influence in its performance: allowing an independent control of the losses for both lasing wavelengths and achieving a low noise configuration. As a result, it is experimentally demonstrated that both emission lines work in single-longitudinal-mode operation and the topology offers a better stability and higher optical signalto-noise ratios than similar configurations.
