Highly sensitive sensor for measuring material thermal expansion using a ring laser
A new thermal expansion sensor is presented in this letter. It combines an interferometric fiber sensor and an erbium-doped fiber ring laser as the light source. The sensor consists of a combination of single-mode, ... -
Humidity sensor based on Bragg gratings developed on the end facet of an optical fiber by sputtering of one single material
The refractive index of sputtered indium oxide nanocoatings has been altered just by changing the sputtering parameters, such as pressure. These induced changes have been exploited for the generation of a grating on the ... -
Improving the width of lossy mode resonances in a reflection configuration D-shaped fiber by nanocoating laser ablation
The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of lossy mode resonances (LMRs) in the optical spectrum depends on the homogeneity of the thin film deposited. In this Letter, a method for improving the FWHM is applied for an LMR ... -
Increasing the sensitivity of an optic level sensor with a wavelength and phase sensitive single-mode multimode single-mode (SMS) fiber structure
The sensitivity of a liquid level sensor based on a single-mode-multimode-single-mode fiber structure has been increased by hydrofluoric acid etching. The etching process was analyzed and monitored both theoretical and ... -
