    All-PM fiber loop mirror interferometer analysis and simultaneous measurement of temperature and mechanical vibration
    (IEEE, 2018) Leandro González, Daniel; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica
    In this work, a new all-polarization maintaining (PM) fiber loop mirror interferometer is proposed and validated as temperature and mechanical vibration sensor. The scheme employs the arms of a PM coupler as communication fibers, fused with a relative angle of 45° to the sensing fiber. The length of the arms is equal so their contribution in canceled, obtaining a total transfer function exclusively defined by the sensing fiber. The capabilities of the system as sensor are tested, achieving mechanical vibration and temperature sensing without crosstalk between measurands. In this manner, vibration frequencies up to 1.5 kHz have been monitored using a commercial interrogator with a scan rate of 1 Hz and a technique based on the fast Fourier transform. Additionally, the immunity of the setup to external perturbations in the communication fibers is studied and compared to the conventional approach.

    Real-time FFT analysis for interferometric sensors multiplexing
    (IEEE / OSA, 2015) Leandro González, Daniel; Bravo Acha, Mikel; Ortigosa Cayetano, Amaia; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    In this paper, a theoretical and experimental study of two interferometric sensor multiplexing schemes has been carried out by means of the fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis. This work addresses one of the main drawbacks of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensors, that is, its multiplexing capability. Using a commercial optical interrogator combined with a simple FFT measurement technique, the simultaneous real-time monitoring of several PCF sensors is achieved. A theoretical analysis has been performed where simulations matched with the experimental results. For the experimental verification, highly birefringent (HiBi) fiber sections that operated as sensing elements were multiplexed and tested in two configurations. Due to the FFT analysis, both multiplexing schemes can be properly interrogated by monitoring the FFT phase change at the characteristic spatial-frequency of each sensor. For this purpose a commercial interrogator and a custom Matlab program were used for computing the FFT and for monitoring the FFT phase change in real-time (1 Hz).

    Random DFB fiber laser for remote (200 km) sensor monitoring using hybrid WDM/TDM
    (IEEE, 2016) Leandro González, Daniel; Miguel Soto, Verónica de; Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana; Bravo Acha, Mikel; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa
    In this paper, a random distributed feedback fiber laser is proposed as a multiplexing scheme for ultralong range measurements (up to 200 km). Optical fiber sensors are time and wavelength multiplexed overcoming one of the main limitations of long-range sensing setups, which is their limited multiplexing capability. The direct modulation of the laser's cavity allows the interrogation of sensors by measuring the reflected power for different wavelengths and distances. Fiber Bragg gratings placed at different fiber locations and wavelengths have been interrogated in two different sensor networks. In addition, in order to improve the performance of the system, some features have been analyzed.

    Multiparameter sensor based on a multiinterferometric serial configuration for temperature and strain measurements
    (IEEE, 2021) Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana; Bravo Acha, Mikel; Leandro González, Daniel; Novais, Susana; Pradas Martínez, Javier; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    In this work, a multi-parameter point sensor based on the combination of Fabry-Perot (FP) and the anti-resonant (AR) reflecting guidance in cascade configuration is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. This structure, based on FP interference and AR reflecting guidance, was fabricated with two different air micro-cavities. The attained experimental results showed different strain and temperature sensitivities for the antiresonance contribution. However, when analyzing the FP interference, only strain sensitivity was observed, demonstrating that this air micro-cavity was also insensitive to temperature variations.

    Random fiber lasers: application to fiber optic sensors networks
    (IEEE, 2017) López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Leandro González, Daniel; Miguel Soto, Verónica de; Bravo Acha, Mikel; Fernández Vallejo, Montserrat; Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica
    Recently, random mirrors have been proposed as a method to create fiber laser cavities. This kind of cavity is based on cooperative Rayleigh scattering, which is generated along a fiber due to the material inhomogeneities presented in that fiber. In this work, basics of Random fiber lasers and different demonstrated lasing sensors systems for interrogating arrays of optical fiber sensors are shown. These systems use different kinds of amplification and cavities schemes and can interrogate optical fiber sensors located up to 225 km away.

    Spatial-frequency multiplexing of high-sensitivity liquid level sensors based on multimode interference micro-fibers
    (Elsevier, 2020) Galarza Galarza, Marko; Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana; Leandro González, Daniel; Júdez Colorado, Aitor; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    This paper shows a new fiber optic sensor multiplexed system for liquid level sensing. Biconical fibertapers converging at a 40 mm-long micro-fiber are used as transducers. The tapers are designed to providethe propagation of the two main cylindrical modes in the micro-fiber avoiding higher order modes ormodes with other symmetries. The liquid level is calculated in real time from the measurement of thefrequency and phase components of the spectral interference pattern of the submerged micro-fiber.The system is fully characterized by theoretical simulations in terms of the sensitivity as a function ofthe most responsive parameter, which is the width of the micro-fiber. Phase sensibilities of 3.7 rad/mmare experimentally obtained and values as high as 11.4 rad/mm are theoretically predicted. The strongdependence of the spatial frequency with the width of the micro-fiber has been used to multiplex threesensors in series in this domain. The maximum detected crosstalk between sensors is 0.2 rad/mm.
