    Erbium-doped fiber ring cavity for the measurement of refractive index variations
    (SPIE, 2023) Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana; Soares, Liliana; Novais, Susana; Frazão, Orlando; Silva, Susana; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    In this work, an erbium-doped fiber ring cavity based on a 3dB optical coupler for refractive index measurements is presented and experimentally verified. This interrogation system, based on a 1 x 2 optical coupler, uses one of these output ports to increase the reflected optical power by means of a fiber Bragg Grating (FBG), used as a reflector. Moreover, the other output port is used as a refractive index sensing head. A spectral analysis of this interrogator system as well as a fiber cavity ring refractive index sensor characterization are carried out. Finally, an experimental comparison of the refractive index sensor range when the 3dB coupler is replace by a 1x3 one is also presented.

    Measurement of paracetamol concentration using an erbium-doped fiber ring cavity
    (MDPI, 2023) Soares, Liliana; Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana; Novais, Susana; Ferreira, António; Silva, Susana; Frazão, Orlando; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
    Process Analytical Technology (PAT) has been increasingly used in the pharmaceutical industry to monitor essential parameters in real-time during pharmaceutical processes. The concentration of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), such as paracetamol, is one of these parameters, and controlling its variations allows for optimization of the production process. In this study, a refractometric sensor, implemented by an interrogation system based on an Erbium-Doped Fiber Ring Cavity (EDFRC), was presented and experimentally demonstrated. The Cavity Ring proposed included a 1 × 3 coupler. One port of the coupler was used to increase the optical power of the system through a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG), and the other two ports were used as sensing head and reference. The sensor detected variations of paracetamol concentration with a sensitivity of [(−1.00 ± 0.05) × 10−3] nW/(g/kg) and a resolution of 5.53 g/kg. The results demonstrate the potential of this technology as a possible non-invasive PAT tool.
