Abstract:
In this study, array type fiber-PZT senor systems were newly developed with capabilities of detecting both damage location and monitoring of gas or liquid leakage by applying time-frequency analyses. The system consists of two piezoelectric transducers for the signal receiver and generator applications and three optical fibers for wave propagation. The results showed developed fiber-PZT array sensor can accurately measure the position of crack and its intensity. Also the fluid leakage of methyl alcohol as test specimen, on the plate structure has also been investigated employing the fiber-PZT sensors. The ultrasonic wave optical fiber sensor can be used effectively to monitor changes in structural and chemical properties.

Abstract:
The ever-increasing demands for the use of fiber-optic sensors powered by long optical fibers is forcing developers to solve problems associated with powering these remote sensors. Due to their non-electric character, these sensors are suitable for many uses, including military applications. The Army of the Czech Republic is very interested in this type of optical fiber sensor as it fulfils the significant prerequisites for use in military areas. However, the army’s requirements are challenging because they require long supply cables in which there is significant attenuation of optical power. At the same time, there is a need for high sensitivity. The subject of our research team’s work was to use amplifiers to power these sensors. The army already uses this type of sensor for short distances as it cannot ignite a gas mixture with an explosive concentration and thus meet the strict requirements of the explosion-poof standard. The novelty of our research lies in the discovered measurement technique that allows the sensors to be powered remotely and in the saving of optical fibers by utilizing duplex communication with a circulator. Furthermore, the research presents an innovative approach to the optimization of the entire sensor by using a bidirectional, sensory, polarization-maintaining optical fiber. The proposed sensor was first verified in laboratory conditions at the Optoelectronics Laboratory of the University of Defense in Brno, and further tests were carried out in the military training areas of Boletice and Březina in the Czech Republic, which is a member of North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Abstract:
Fiber Bragg gratings have found widespread application in sensor systems, e. g. for temperature, strain or refractive index measurements. The concept of fiber Bragg gratings allows also in a simple way the realisation of arrays of such sensors. The development of such optical fiber sensor systems often requires special fibers and grating structures which may go beyond more conventional Bragg grating structures in typical communication fibers. Concerning fibers there is, for example., a need of achieving fiber gratings in small diameter fibers and fiber tapers as well as in microstructured fibers. Special fiber grating structures are of interest e.g. in the visible wavelength range, which requires smaller spatial structures compared to more conventional gratings in the near infrared wavelength region. Examples for such modern developments in fiber Bragg grating technology for sensor applications will be presented and discussed.

Abstract:
The work describes the technology of a liquid crystal cell with a tapered optical fiber as an element providing light. The tapered optical fiber with the total optical loss of 0.22 ± 0.07 dB, the taper waist diameter of 15.5 ± 0.5 μm, and the elongation of 20.4 ± 0.3 mm has been used. The experimental results are presented for a liquid crystal cell filled with a mixture 1550* for parallel orientation of LC molecules to the cross section of the taper waist. Measurement results show the influence of the electrical field with voltage in the range of 0-200 V, without, as well as with different modulation for spectral characteristics. The sinusoidal and square signal shapes are used with a 1-10 Hz frequency range. Full Text: PDF ReferencesZ. Liu, H. Y. Tam, L. Htein, M. L.Vincent Tse, C.

Abstract:
Some advanced fiber-optic amplitude modulated reflection displacement sensors and refractive index sensors have been developed. An improved three-fiber displacement sensor has been investigated as a refractive index sensor by computer simulations in a large interval of displacement. Some new regularities have been revealed. A reflection fiber-optic displacement sensor of novel configuration, consisting of double optical-pair fibers with a definite angle between the measuring tips of fibers in the pairs has been proposed, designed, and experimentally investigated to indicate and measure the displacement and refractive index of gas and liquid water solutions. The proposed displacement sensor and refractive index sensor configuration improves the measuring sensitivity in comparison with the known measuring methods. The refractive index sensor sensitivity Snsub = 4 × 10−7 RIU/mV was achieved. The displacement sensor sensitivity is Ssub = 1702 mV/µm in air (n = 1.00027).

Abstract:
Fiber-optic sensors for identifying liquids and determining the concentration of solutions have been studied with the possibility of using various types of single-mode optical fibers produced by industry and widely used in optical cables and telecommunications to create sensors for identifying liquids and determining the concentration of solutions. To identify liquids with different refractive indices and determine the concentration of substances dissolved in water, the peak value of the reflectograms of the optical fiber located at the interface between the optical fiber core and the environment can be used as an information parameter. The value of the information parameter depends on the refractive index of the liquid in which one end of the optical fiber is located. The parameters of fiber-optic sensors for identifying liquids and determining the concentration of solutions were studied by optical reflectometry in different wavelength ranges of optical radiation with a duration of reflectometer probe pulses from 25 to 300 ns. It has been established that the fiber-optic sensor can operate at any wavelength of optical radiation corresponding to the transparency windows of the optical loss spectrum of the optical fiber. The influence of the length of the optical fiber between the recording device and the place where the concentration of a liquid solution is determined using a fiber-optic sensor was studied. The possibility of creating a fiber-optic sensor for determining the concentration of the liquid solutions based on optical fibers has been demonstrated.

Abstract:
We proposed a novel optical sensory nerve network using pulse switch sensors. The pulse switch sensor generates light loss similar to pulse signals only when ON/OFF states change. Therefore, it has less influence on communications quality compared with conventional switch sensor modules as sensor multiplicity increases. Our simulated results demonstrated that the proposed system can improve sensor multiplicity while maintaining the communications and measuring performance with the same quality as a conventional system by appropriately adjusting the initial loss of the pulse switch sensors. In particular, where ON/OFF time intervals follow exponential distributions with mean values of 5 and 300 s, respectively, the insertion loss of hetero-core segments inserted into pulse switch sensors is 0.3 dB, and the pulse switch sensors have curvature from 0.05 to 0.18. Under these conditions, our enhanced system can increase sensor multiplicity to 23 while maintaining link availability of almost 100%, a distinction error ratio of less than 1%, and a duplicated error ratio of about 0.5%.

Abstract:
Most optical sensors on the market are optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors with low reflectivity (typically 7-40%) and low side-lobe suppression (SLS) ratio (typically SLS <15 dB), which prevents these sensors from being effectively used for long-distance remote monitoring and sensor network solutions. This research is based on designing the optimal grating structure of FBG sensors and estimating their optimal apodization parameters necessary for sensor networks and long-distance monitoring solutions. Gaussian, sine, and raised sine apodizations are studied to achieve the main requirements, which are maximally high reflectivity (at least 90%) and side-lobe suppression (at least 20 dB), as well as maximally narrow bandwidth (FWHM<0.2 nm) and FBGs with uniform (without apodization). Results gathered in this research propose high-efficiency FBG grating apodizations, which can be further physically realized for optical sensor networks and long-distance (at least 40 km) monitoring solutions.

Abstract:
Strain distributions were obtained from optical fibers arranged in three different configurations on transversely-loaded cantilevered beams. Traditional strain measurement sensors, such as strain gauges, are limited to measuring strain at discrete points on a structural member. However, distributed optical fibers can measure high spatial (<1 mm spacing) strain or temperature distributions. In this study, optical fibers in spiral, grid, and rosette configurations were bonded to aluminum cantilevered beams subjected to tip loads. Strain distributions from optical fiber sensors were measured using a swept wavelength coherent interferometric technique. The optical fiber strain measurements show good agreement with strain gauge measurements. The attributes of each sensor configuration are discussed.

Abstract:
The fiber optic smart structures allow engineers to add nerve systems to their designs, giving structures capabilities that would be very difficult to achieve by other means, including continuous assessment of damage processes. In this study, we evaluated the potentiality of the application of the optical fiber sensors to the monitoring of the fatigue crack growth behavior of composite patch repaired structures. The composite patch with embedded optical fiber sensors can be considered as a smart patch which has both repairing and monitoring functions. We used recently developed Transmission-type Extrinsic Fabry-Perot Interferometric (TEFPI) optical fiber sensors for the monitoring of fatigue crack growth behavior of cracked thick aluminum plate repaired with bonded composite patch. The sensing principle and the senor construction of the optical fiber sensor are presented. The experimental results show that it is possible to monitor the fatigue crack growth behavior of structures repaired with composite patch using the optical fiber sensor

Abstract:
Abstract. In the paper the research on rare-earth doped and co-doped optical fibre conducted in the Laboratory of Optical Fiber Technology at the Bialystok University of Technology is presented. Novel active fibre constructions like multicore, helical-core and side detecting ribbon/core optical fibers were developed with a targeted focus into application. First construction i.e. multicore RE doped optical fibers enable supermode generation due to phase - locking of laser radiation achieved in a consequence of exchanging radiation between the cores during the laser action. In the paper a far - field pattern of 19 - core optical fiber-doped with Yb3+ ions, registered in the MOFPA system, showed centrally located peak of relatively high radiation intensity together with smaller side-lobes. Another new construction presented here is helical-core optical fibers with the helix pitch from several mm and the off-set ranging from 10 μm to 200 μm. The properties of helical-core optical fiber co-doped with Nd3+/Yb3+ were also discussed. In the field of sensor applications novel construction of a sidedetecting luminescent optical fiber for an UV sensor application has been presented. The developed optical fiber with an active core/ribbon, made of phosphate glass doped with 0.5 mol% Tb3+ ions, was used as a UV sensing element.

Abstract:
Refractive index (RI) sensors are very valuable in first level detection of changes to the environment. In this project an optical fiber-based sensor is proposed to detect changes in surrounding RI. Most optical fiber sensors require tapering to be done to enhance the light interaction with the surrounding. This causes the fiber to become fragile and difficult to handle. In this research, optical fibers with long period gratings (LPG) are proposed to overcome this issue. Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanomaterial was deposited over the LPG region using seeding method to enhance the performance of the sensor. The LPG fiber sensor was then used to investigate RI changes in the environment. A broadband laser source was used as the input and an optical spectrum analyser was used to observe the output light spectrum of the LPG sensor for different refractive index mediums. The ZnO coated LPG showed a sensitivity of 428.57 nm/RIU over an RI range of 1 – 1.3578.

Several sensors have been reported until the date, and more are expected to be developed due to the remarkable characteristics such fibers can offer.

The goal of this brief review is to reinforce the importance of fiber design to distributed sensor systems, generally, and to inspire new thinking in the use of fibers for this sensing application.

Abstract:
In this work, a corrosion sensor based on an optical time domain reflectometer was presented. The first sensor with a bare tip was used to measure the corrosion process of silica glass fiber. Another sensor with a deposited silver layer was used for monitoring the corrosion process in nitric acid. In both cases, reflectance at the end of the fiber was decreasing with immersion time. Thus we can describe the corrosion stage by the level of fresnel reflectance. The maximum sensitivities of the analyzed sensors were as follows: 0.7dB/min (3% HF solution) 0.15dB/h (5%HNO3 solution) Results showed that the corrosion process in all cases wasn’t fully linear, and all reactions began almost instantly after immersing sensors in tested corrosive environments.

Abstract:
The influence of the bending radius on the sensitivity of the graphene quantum dots (GQDs)-coated probe is experimentally investigated for a U-shaped probe. The fiber is bent into a U shape using the optic fiber flame heating method, and the optic fiber is enclosed in a glass tube to increase the stability of the probe. The surface of the U-shaped optical fiber was coated with electrospun fibers formed via electrospinning. Polymer materials doped with GQDs are applied to U-shaped optical fiber as humidity sensors. Graphene quantum dot nanofibers on the U-shaped optical fiber sensor to form a network structure of graphene quantum dots U-shape fiber sensor (GQDUS). The polymer network structure absorbs water molecules, which in turn affects the bending radius of the optical fiber, and changes the optical fiber spectrum. Graphene quantum dots provide optical enhancement benefits, which in turn increase the sensitivity of fiber optic sensors. The spectra monitoring system consists of an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) and an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). This system can be used to detect humidity changes between 20% RH and 80% RH in the chamber. Our results indicate promising applications for quantum dots probe sensors from electrospun nanofibers increasing sensitive environmental monitoring. As such, it could be of substantial value in optical sensors detection.

Abstract:
The wide-spread use of composite material in aircraft across the world is expected to create a big need to improve structure health monitoring (SHM). Optical fiber sensors offer more advantages than conventional sensors, such as light weight, small size, immune to electromagnetic interference, easily embedded in composites. Extensive applications have been reported with a few embedded technology details by Boeing and Airbus, etc. In this paper, The methods of improved optical fiber surface-bonded composites by glass cloth and epoxy resin, as well as optical fiber embedded in composites were researched. The installation of fiber and composites, composites assembly pressure adaptability on FBG sensors, influences on structure properties of composite materials due to different fiber diameters and different numbers of optical fibers by the way of microscopic interface analysis and C-san were studied. The adequate fiber embedded technology was found to obtain the most feasibility of SHM. Light intensity and wavelength of FBG sensor surface-bonded by glass cloth are affected by the structural assembly pressure. It can be seen that diameter of embedded optical fiber equal to the thickness of prepreg monolaye, the fiber embedded next to 0 degree layer, less than five fibers within a 25mm width composite unit have little impact on composite structure. Then, 12 FBG sensors were embedded in a typical aircraft structure, a carbon fiber enhanced stiffened composite plate with length 600 mm and width 600 mm, to detect position and energy of external impact load by a mathematical analysis method, cross correlation algorithm. Finally, suggestions on future study are listed from four aspects, co-forming technology of FBG sensor and composite skin, research on the extraction technology of optical fiber, new flexible wing testing technology and advanced fiber optical sensing technology.

Abstract:
This paper presents a multiplexable fiber optic chemical sensor with the capability of monitoring hydrogen gas concentration at high temperatures up to 750 °C. The Pd-nanoparticle infused TiO2 films coated on intrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometer (IFPI) array were used as sensory films. Strains induced upon exposure to hydrogen with varied concentrations can be monitored by IFPI sensors. The fiber sensor shows a repetitive and reversible response when exposed to a low level (1–6%) of hydrogen gas. Uniform sensory behavior across all the sensing cavities is demonstrated and reported in this paper.

Abstract:
Abstract In this paper, we proposed a simple tapering process of optical fibers using controlled CO2 laser. This is a response to the call for the rapid development of affordable, efficient, and reliable optical sensors. A laser with power of 36 W was focused on a small section of three optical fibers having core/cladding diameters in micrometer of 10/125 (sensor A), 62.5/125 (sensor B), and 200/225 (sensor C). The sensors were tested on solutions having refractive indices of 1.3325 to 1.4266. Our investigation revealed that sensor C offered highest sensitivity. Therefore, further characterizations on its sensing characteristics were conducted. Over 6 times repetitive measurement, sensor C showed excellent repeatability with average sensitivity and detection limit of 4.5941(78) a.u./RIU and 3.97 × 10−4 RIU, respectively. The tapered large core fiber also had good reversibility. Furthermore, the stability test by applying sensor C to solutions with low, medium, and high refractive indices also showed that the sensor was relatively stable. Within 60 minutes measurement, we noticed increasing trends of normalized intensities. However, the intensity increment percentages were relatively small, i.e., 0.27%, 1.17%, and 1.75% respectively for refractive indices of 1.3325, 1.3921, and 1.4266. Thus, excellent tapered optical fiber sensor could be produced using CO2 laser.

Abstract:
In order to improve the sensitivity of measurement and realize its miniaturization, an all-optical fiber differential acceleration sensor is studied. This sensor adopts a novel four-port ring fiber coupler, which can realizes the difference of optical signals and the isolation of light source and optical signal. Therefore, the sensitivity of this sensor is doubled compared with that of traditional fiber sensors. The stress–strain relationship simulation results of the sensor probe model show that with the increase of the measured acceleration value, the relative sensitivity, relative resolution, and relative error of the sensor all decrease. In the structural parameters of the probe-sensitive unit, the film thickness has the greatest influence on the performance of the sensor. The radius of the diaphragm 65 μm, a thickness of 2 μm, taking the thickness of the center of mass 20 μm, the mass 20 μm taken radius conditions, sensitivity of this fiber acceleration sensor is not less than 0.0025 m–1 · s2, less than 2% error, the linear measuring range of 0 to 2800 m · s–2. This design combines microelectronics and optical fiber technology, which can more easily realize the miniaturization and multi-function of acceleration sensor.

Abstract:
This paper proposes a POI displacement estimation method based on the functional optical fiber sensor and the phase modulation principle to improve the POI displacement estimation accuracy. First, the relation between the object deformation and the optic fiber lightwave phase is explained; the measurement principle of functional optical fiber sensor based on the heterodyne interference principle and its layout optimization method is proposed, and a POI displacement estimation model is presented based on the data approach. Secondly, a beam is taken as the simulation object, the optimal position and length of the optical fiber sensor are determined based on its simulation data. Finally, the experimental device is designed to verify the effectiveness of the POI displacement estimation method based on the optic fiber sensors. The frequency-domain plot of the signals shows that the optical fiber sensors can express the flexible deformation of the analyzed object well. The POI displacement estimation model with the fiber optic sensor signals as one of the inputs is constructed. Through estimating the test data, the error using the optical fiber sensor-based POI displacement estimation method proposed in this paper reduces by more than 61% compared to the rigid body-based assumption estimation method.

Abstract:
"The optical fiber industry has progressed a lot in recent years. Earlier, they were used as a bed to carry light and image for medical applications, especially in endoscopy. In the mid-1960s, calls were widely used to transmit information. So far, optical fiber technology has been a worthy subject for research. Low loss rate, high bandwidth, electromagnetic reliability, small size, light weight, safety, relatively cheap price, low need for reconstruction and maintenance are the reasons for the attractiveness of optical fibers. In recent years, optical sensors, including FBG, are widely used in the field. Different methods have been used. Among these applications, we can refer to imaging in the fields of civil engineering, aerospace, marine sciences, oil and gas, composites and smart structures. Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors have found more usages in the industry to diagnose the safety of mechanical structures due to their high sensitivity, non-exposure to the electromagnetic field, linearity, and lightness. A limitation of the application of FBG sensors is the Inability to distinguish the effects of temperature and strain in the simultaneous measurement. For this purpose, we must somehow discriminate the effect of temperature from the strain. In this Article, by designing a tapered fiber-FBG composite sensor we have provided a solution for this problem. Studies performed on the designed composite sensor show that no sensitivity interference will occur in the sensor. In the composite sensor, a tapered fiber optic sensor with a temperature sensitivity of and a FBG sensor with the temperature and strain sensitivity of and, respectively, are used. Keywords: Tapered fiber, Temperature sensor, FBG sensor, Strain health monitor, Structural health monitor, Interferences. "

Abstract:
Exposing an optical fiber core to the measurand surrounding the fiber is often used to enhance the sensitivity of an optical fiber sensor. This paper reports on the rapid fabrication of microstructures in an optical fiber using a CO2 laser system which help exposing the optical fiber core to the measurand. The direct-write CO2 laser system used is originally designed for engraving the polymeric material. Fabrications of microstructures such as in-fiber microhole, D-shaped fiber, in-fiber microchannel, side-sliced fiber and tapered fiber were attempted. The microstructures in the fibers were examined using a SEM and an optical microscope. Quality of microstructures shown by the SEM images and promising results from fluorescence sensor tests using in-fiber microchannels of 100μm width, 210μm depth and 10mm length show the prospect of this method for use in optical fiber sensor development. The direct-write CO2 laser system is a flexible and fast machining tool for fabricating microstructures in an optical fiber, and can possibly be a replacement of the time consuming chemical etching and polishing methods used for microstructure fabrications of optical the fiber sensors reported in other literatures.

Abstract:
Optical fiber sensors have a number of advantages over conventional electronic sensors such as light weight, small diameter and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Despite all the advantages of optical sensors, one must recognize that optical fibers are foreign entities to the host structure, therefore will induce stress concentration in the vicinity of the embedded sensor. As an optical sensor is embedded between plies, a lenticular resin pocket exists in the composite plies. The resin pocket acts as a crack-like region, and can form the site of the initiation of the delamination under mechanical loads. In this investigation, the geometry of the lenticular resin pocket around the optical sensor is derived basing on the principal of minimum potential energy. It shows that the geometry of the resin pocket is dependent on the stiffness of the plies, the stacking sequence, the diameter of the optical fiber and the curing pressure. The stress distributions in the resin pocket and in the laminated composites are obtained by using the finite element method. The numerical results demonstrate that the stress increases rapidly in the vicinity of the optical fiber sensor, causing a high stress concentration factor. The high stress field may produce delamination and fracture in the composite.

Abstract:
The term “fiber optics” means the use of dielectric waveguides to transfer information. In aircraft systems with digital controls, fiber optics has advantages over wire systems because of its inherent immunity to electromagnetic noise (EMI) and electromagnetic pulses (EMP). It also offers a weight benefit when metallic conductors are replaced by optical fibers. To take full advantage of the benefits of optical waveguides, passive optical sensors are also being developed to eliminate the need for electrical power to the sensor. Fiber optics may also be used for controlling actuators on engine and airframe. In this application, the optical fibers, connectors, etc., will be subjected to high temperatures and vibrations. This paper discusses the use of fiber optics in aircraft propulsion systems, together with the optical sensors and optically controlled actuators being developed to take full advantage of the benefits which fiber optics offers. The requirements for sensors and actuators in advanced propulsion systems are identified. The benefits of using fiber optics in place of conventional wire systems are discussed as well as the environmental conditions under which the optical components must operate. Work being done under contract to NASA Lewis on optical and optically activated actuators sensors for propulsion control systems is presented.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate fiber-optic sensors for the remote detection of gamma rays in areas that are difficult to access, such as a spent fuel pool. The fiber-optic sensor consists of a light-generating probe, such as scintillators for radiation detection, plastic optical fibers, and light-measuring devices, such as PMT. The (Lu,Y)2SiO5:Ce(LYSO:Ce) scintillator was chosen as the light-generating probe. The (Lu,Y)2SiO5:Ce(LYSO:Ce) scintillator has higher scintillation efficiency than the others and transmits light well through an optical fiber because its refraction index is similar to the refractive index of the optical fiber. The fiber-optic radiation sensor using the (Lu,Y)2SiO5:Ce(LYSO:Ce) scintillator was evaluated in terms of the detection efficiency and reproducibility for examining its applicability as a radiation sensor.

Abstract:
This paper examined the impact of optical fiber sensor design, and its integration to PVC (polyvinyl chloride) sheet piles, on deflection and strain monitoring. Optical fiber sensors based on Brillouin light backscattering (BLS) were prepared, as they can provide accurate strain and deflection measurement results. However, depending on the application of sheet piles systems, high deformation of PVC elements can be observed. Therefore, a fiber sensor design is not trivial. Three types of optical fiber coatings and their integration with PVC sheet piles were investigated. The effect on the value of compressive and tensile strain were analyzed. It has been experimentally proven that PVC sheet piles monitoring, based on BLS method, can be realized using optical fibers with 250 µm, 900 µm, and 3 mm coating diameter. Achieved results are in line with theory. Correction coefficient necessary for 900 µm and 3 mm coatings has been proposed and used to ensure proper strain measurement. It was found that 250 µm coating fiber based sensors can be utilized for PVC strain measurement under low deflection (>1.2 m beam length). On the other hand, sensors based on 3 mm coating fiber, due to a high level of linearity, can be applied to deflection distance measurement under high deformation.

Abstract:
Abstract Previous studies of the gold-nanoparticles-covered U-type medical optical fiber sensor with millimeter size were mainly confined to the experimental aspect, while the corresponding theoretical studies were only for bare fibers based on geometrical optics or those for micron level photonic crystal fibers based on wave optics. Combining wave and geometrical optics, the gold-nanoparticles-covered U-type optical fiber sensor was simulated with millimeter size. The localized surface plasmon resonance absorption peak near 540 nm is obtained in the simulation, very close to that (≈560 nm) of the experimental value for the gold nanoparticles of 37 nm size. Compared with the refractive index (RI) sensitivity (≈7.10/RIU) for the plain, U-type optical fiber (≈43.50/RIU) exhibits more than 610% enhancement in the gold-nanoparticles-covered sample. Present studies would be helpful to the further simulation and design for various noble metal nanoparticles covered optical fiber sensors with different shapes.

Abstract:
Structural health monitoring is an important research topic in the field of fiber reinforced plastics (FRP). An effective way to detect defects or overloads in these FRP has still not been found. One way to monitor the actual state of FRP components is via integrated sensors. Integrating current standard sensors negatively affects the flux of force. Therefore investigations about integration methods of sensors in FRP components have been made. The integration of an optical fiber sensor into FRP profiles via a pultrusion process was investigated. It could be shown that the pultrusion process is suitable method for the integration of fiber optic sensors for strain measurements. Another investigated sensor principle was the integration of piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fibers via a vacuum assisted process. The PVDF fibers were integrated into 3-point bending specimen and the piezoelectric effect was tested with and without polarization. The investigation showed that it is possible to measure the piezoelectric effect of PVDF fibers integrated into a 3-point bending test specimen. It could also be shown that carbon fibers can be used as textile electrodes for the measurement of the generated charge on the PVDF surface.

Abstract:
The nanofiber optic evanescent field sensor based on a changed cladding part as a sensor presented numerically. The influences of numerical opening, core radius of the fiber, the wavelength is effected on the light source and the submicron fiber on the sensors are promise to studied in this work. The results pointed out the sensitivity of the sensor increases when the numerical opening of the fiber is increases and the core radius is decreases. The NA of the fiber affects the sensitivity of the sensor. In the uniform core fiber, the increase in the NA increases the sensitivity of the sensor. Therefore, one should choose a fiber with high NA for the design of an evanescent-wave-absorption sensor if the core of the sensing segment uniform in diameter, so that the increase in the penetration depth or number of ray reflections or both, increases the evanescent absorption field and hence the sensitivity of the sensors.

The bending of the fibers at the sensitive zone on curvature sensor changes the intensity of light traveling through the optical fiber. Curvature sensors are attached to the rubber tube so that they can measure phase difference produced by coriolis force.

Abstract:
In this paper, a novel hybrid damage detection system is proposed, which utilizes piezoelectric actuators for guided wave excitation and a new fibre optic (FO) sensor based on Fabry-Perot (FP) and Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). By replacing the FBG sensors with FBG-based FP sensors in the hybrid damage detection system, a higher strain resolution is achieved, which results in higher damage sensitivity and higher reliability in diagnosis. To develop the novel sensor, optimum parameters such as reflectivity, a wavelength spectrum, and a sensor length were chosen carefully through an analytical model of the sensor, which has been validated with experiments. The sensitivity of the new FBG-based FP sensors was compared to FBG sensors to emphasize the superiority of the new sensors in measuring micro-strains. Lastly, the new FBG-based FP sensor was utilized for recording guided waves in a hybrid setup and compared to the conventional FBG hybrid sensor network to demonstrate their improved performance for a structural health monitoring (SHM) application.

Abstract:
Extensive detection performances due to sensitivity to external and internal perturbations in the fiber structure makes the optical fiber sensors highly superior over the conventional sensors. The fiber optic sensors with clad removed fibers at some portion along its length play a vital role in the determination of refractive index of various liquids at several wavelengths and at several temperatures. In the present paper a refractive index sensor has been developed to investigate the performance and experimental validation in the measurement of R.I. values of liquids at various temperatures using a tunable light source capable of emitting light at the wavelengths of 630nm, 660nm, 820nm and 850nm. The U-shaped glass probe connected between the tunable light source and an optical detector using two multimode PCS fibers of 200/230μm, acts as a clad removed portion of the sensor which is called as sensing zone or sensing region. In the working principle of the sensor, the U-shaped glass rod immersed into each mixture prepared with the combination of Toluene and Acetonitrile, the light launched from the source reaching the detector was noted at various temperatures and by tuning the wavelength of the source to 630nm, 660nm, 820nm and 850nm. From the data obtained, the sensor was calibrated to measure the refractive index of various liquids at different temperatures and wavelengths. Exploiting all the advantages offered by the fiber optic communication systems, the sensor was expected to be rugged, robust, reliable, and durable offering the sensitivity in the range of the order of 10-5.

Abstract:
This article ls with the issues related to the development of a system for monitoring the deformation and displacement of the rock mass leading to the collapse of the quarry sides. Monitoring system uses point-to-point fiber-optic sensors. Fiber-optic sensors and control cables of the communication line are made based on the single mode optical fibers, which allows to measure with high accuracy the deformations and displacements of the rock mass at a distance of 30-50 km. To create fiber-optic pressure sensors, an optical fiber of the ITU-T G. 652.D standard is used. Laboratory sample is developed concerning the point fiber-optic sensor made based on the two-arm Mach-Zender interferometer using a single mode optical fiber for monitoring strain (displacements) with a change in the sensitivity and a reduced influence of temperature interference leading to zero drift. The article presents a mathematical apparatus for calculating the intensity of radiation of a light wave passing through an optical fiber with and without mechanical stress. A laboratory sample of single mode optical fibers based on the Mach-Zender interferometer showed a fairly high linearity and accuracy in the measurement and can be used to control the strain of the mass after appropriate refinement of its design. Mathematical expressions are also given for determining the intensity of the light wave when the distance between the fixing points of a single mode optical fiber changes depending on the change in the external temperature. A diagram for measuring strain using a point fiber-optic strain sensor is developed. Hardware and software package is developed, which can be used to perform a number of settings of measuring channels. The work is aimed at solving the production problems of the Kenzhem quarry of AK Altynalmas JSC.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTThis paper discusses new components and approaches to make stretchable optical fiber sensors better meet the power and washability requirements of wearables. First, an all-polymer quick connector allows the light source and photosensor to be quickly detached for washing. Second, the paper investigates the possibility of driving the sensors using ambient light instead of an onboard light source. While optical strain sensors and touch sensors have advantages over electronic ones in wet environments, and the intrinsic stretchability of the fibers is useful for soft robotics and highly conformal wearables, the typical light-emitting diode (LED) light source consumes more power than an electronic resistive or capacitive strain sensor. In this work, ambient light of uniform but unknown intensity is demonstrated to drive an elastomeric optical touch sensor in a differential configuration.

Sensors 19, no. 22 (November 14, 2019): 4968. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/s19224968.
Abstract:
The power coupling ratio between step-index multimode fibers caused by combined transversal and angular misalignment is calculated. A theoretical description of the coupling efficiency between two optical fibers based on geometrical optics is provided. The theoretical calculations are collaborated by experiments, determining the power coupling ratio between three output fibers with an axial offset and angular misalignment with a single input fiber. The calculation results are in good agreement with experimental results obtained using a previously fabricated optical fiber sensor for monitoring physiological parameters in clinical environments. The theoretical results are particularly beneficial for optimizing the design of optical fiber bending sensors that are based on power coupling loss (intensity) as the measurement interrogation requires either axial displacement, angular misalignment, or both.

Abstract:
In this article, we propose and demonstrate a probe-type multi-core fiber (MCF) sensor for the multi-parameter measurement of seawater. The sensor comprises an MCF and two capillary optical fibers (COFs) with distinct inner diameters, in which a 45° symmetric core reflection (SCR) structure and a step-like inner diameter capillary (SIDC) structure filled with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) are fabricated at the fiber end. The sensor is equipped with three channels for different measurements. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) channel (CHSPR) based on the side-polished MCF is utilized for salinity measurement. The fiber end air cavity, forming the Fabry–Pérot interference (FPI) channel (CHFPI), is utilized for pressure and temperature measurement. Additionally, the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) channel (CHFBG), which is inscribed in the central core, serves as temperature compensation for the measurement results. By combining three sensing principles with space division multiplexing (SDM) technology, the sensor overcomes the common challenges faced by multi-parameter sensors, such as channel crosstalk and signal demodulation difficulties. The experimental results indicate that the sensor has sensitivities of 0.36 nm/‰, −10.62 nm/MPa, and −0.19 nm/°C for salinity, pressure, and temperature, respectively. As a highly integrated and easily demodulated probe-type optical fiber sensor, it can serve as a valuable reference for the development of multi-parameter fiber optic sensors.

Abstract:
Research has been carried out on the detection of mercury ions in water using plastic optical fibers. Detection of mercury ions is done by immersing the optical fiber sensor in the HgCl2 solution, where both ends of the sensor are connected to an LED and a phototransistor. LED as a light source will emit light along with the optical fiber which will be received by the phototransistor. The optical light received by the phototransistor is converted into an electric voltage and given a gain in the differential amplifier. The output voltage in the form of an analog signal is converted into a digital signal on the Arduino UNO so that it can be read on a computer. The optical fiber as a sensor is made in two configurations, namely U configuration and spiral spring configuration. The jacket and the fiber optic cladding are peeled off and then covered with chitosan. Each configuration will be given a variation of the curve to analyze the characteristics of the sensor. The curvature can cause a large power loss resulting in attenuation of the light intensity of the LED received by the phototransistor. Apart from the effect of indentation on optical fibers, the output voltage measurement results are also influenced by the level of HgCl2 concentration. The best measurement results for mercury ion sensors in water using plastic optical fibers are obtained in a spiral spring configuration with a chitosan cladding with a variation of 6 coils which has a sensitivity of 104.065 mV/ppm.

Abstract:
The article presents a numerical analysis of the possibility of creating a dielectric amplitude oscillation sensor and selecting its optimal parameters. The sensor consists of a quartz sensing element with a mirror attached to it, which is attached to the body with an elastic suspension, and two optical fibers. The study is divided into two main stages: modeling the mechanical part of the sensor and determining its optimal geometry and developing a model of the optical component of the sensor. A mechanical study of the vibration sensor was carried out in order to determine its resonant frequency and determine the optimal length of the elastic jumper. The optical part of the study focused on the selection of optimal parameters for the configuration of the location of optical fibers. The results showed that the sensor has a natural oscillation frequency above 2000 Hz, and there is a weak dependence of the sensor sensitivity on the oscillation frequency with a jumper length of 1 mm. The study presents an analytical solution for choosing the optimal parameters of the optical component of the sensor. The research contributes to the development of fiber-optic accelerometers for measuring and analyzing vibration in various applications.

Abstract:
Acoustic Emission (AE) detection and, in particular, ultrasound detection are excellent tools for structural health monitoring or medical diagnosis. Despite the technological maturity of the well-received piezoelectric transducer, optical fiber AE detection sensors are attracting increasing attention due to their small size, and electromagnetic and chemical immunity as well as the broad frequency response of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in these fibers. Due to the merits of their small size, FBGs were inscribed in optical fibers with diameters of 50 and 80 μm in this work. The manufactured FBGs were used for the detection of reproducible acoustic waves using the edge filter detection method. The acquired acoustic signals were compared to the ones captured by a standard 125 μm-diameter optical fiber FBG. Result analysis was performed by utilizing fast Fourier and wavelet decompositions. Both analyses reveal a higher sensitivity and dynamic range for the 50 μm-diameter optical fiber, despite it being more prone to noise than the other two, due to non-standard splicing methods and mode field mismatch losses. Consequently, the use of smaller-diameter optical fibers for AE detection is favorable for both the sensor sensitivity as well as physical footprint.

Abstract:
A polymer microtip manufactured at the end of a multi-mode optical fiber by using the photopolymerization process offers good reflective properties, therefore, it is applicable as an optical fiber sensor micro-transducer. The reflective properties of this microelement depend on the monomer mixture used, optical fiber type, and light source initiating polymerization. Experimental results have shown that a proper selection of these parameters has allowed the design of a new class of sensing structure which is sensitive to the refractive index (RI) changes of a liquid medium surrounding the microtip. An optical backscatter reflectometer was applied to test a group of micro-transducers. They were manufactured from two monomer mixtures on three different types of multi-mode optical fibers. They were polymerized by means of three optical light sources. Selected micro-transducers with optimal geometries were immersed in reference liquids with a known RI within the range of 1.3–1.7. For a few sensors, the linear dependences of return loss and RI have been found. The highest sensitivity was of around 208 dB/RIU with dynamic 32 dB within the range of 1.35–1.48. Sensing characteristics have minima close to RI of a polymer microelement, therefore, changing its RI can give the possibility to tune sensing properties of this type of sensor.

Abstract:
A series of laboratory and field tests were performed to evaluate the applicability of an optical fiber sensor system in the instrumentation of piles. A multiplexed sensor system, constructed by arranging several Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors along a single line of optical fiber, is capable of measuring local axial strains as a function of wavelength shifts. The distributions of axial load in three model piles and a field test pile evaluated from the strains measured by FBG sensors are found to be comparable, in terms of both magnitude and trend, with those obtained from conventional strain gauges. This suggests that the FBG sensor system is an effective tool for the analysis of the axial load transfer in piles. The successful instrumentation of a soilcement injected precast (SIP) pile using FBG sensors suggests that the use of these sensors in drilled shafts and other types of cast in situ concrete piles is feasible. With the rapid advance of optical fiber sensor technology, the economics of the use of optical fiber sensors in this type of instrumentation is expected to improve significantly in coming years.Key words: pile foundation, load transfer, fiber optic sensor, Fiber Bragg Grating sensor.

Abstract:
Optical fiber Fabry–Perot sensors have long been the focus of researchers in sensing applications because of their unique advantages, including highly effective, simple light path, low cost, compact size, and easy fabrication. Microcantilever-based devices have been extensively explored in chemical and biological fields while the interrogation methods are still a challenge. The optical fiber probe microcantilever sensor is constructed with a microcantilever beam on an optical fiber, which opens the door for highly sensitive, as well as convenient readout. In this review, we summarize a wide variety of optical fiber probe microcantilever sensors based on Fabry–Perot interferometer. The operation principle of the optical fiber probe microcantilever sensor is introduced. The fabrication methods, materials, and sensing applications of an optical fiber probe microcantilever sensor with different structures are discussed in detail. The performances of different kinds of fiber probe microcantilever sensors are compared. We also prospect the possible development direction of optical fiber microcantilever sensors.

Abstract:
Abstract In the last few decades, the use of optical fiber is becoming more widespread for communication technologies and sensor applications. In this sense, considering the physical characteristics of the fiber, there are many possibilities for its use in various engineering sectors, not least in the aerospace one. Indeed, using optical fibers to replace traditional electronic devices can provide significant advantages, such as using an extremely lightweight and minimally invasive technology. FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensors are ones of the most widely used instruments for this purpose, and they allow the detection of different physical parameters, including temperature. The aim of the present work is to analyze the performances of FBGs, in particular by evaluating their ability to read short-term thermal transients and comparing it with that of a conventional thermal probe (PT100). More specifically, two optical fibers were used: the first with the FBG sensor area covered by the external coating and the second without this outer layer. All instrumentation was placed in a climatic chamber and subjected to different thermal cycles. Furthermore, the fiber sections with FBGs were not placed directly in contact with the plate on which they were installed. This made it possible to put optical sensors indications that were as independent as possible from the materials on which they were mounted. Tests have shown that optical sensors have an extremely high sensitivity and a much shorter reaction time than the PT100 probe. Data collected by this work allow strategic use of FBG for thermal monitoring using a minimally invasive and extremely accurate technology.
