Enhanced optical fiber lasers and optical fiber sensors assisted by micro-drilled optical fibers. Optical Fiber Sensors Conference 2020 Special Edition, W4.72.978-1-55752-307-510.1364/OFS.2020.W4.72https://academica-e.unavarra.es/handle/2454/44252Enhanced OFS assisted by micro-drilled optical fibers acting as mirrors are demonstrated. Strain sensitivity improved more than one order of magnitude in comparison with FBG sensors using a 50 μm-waist micro-drilled taper as distributed reflector.application/pdfeng© 2020 The authors.
