Perez-Herrera, 'Random fiber lasers: Application to fiber optic sensors networks,' 2017 19th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), Girona, 2017, pp. 1-4. doi: 10.1109/ICTON.2017.80248212161-206410.1109/ICTON.2017.8024821https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/34838Recently, 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.4 p.application/pdfeng© 2017 IEEE.
