Abstract:
Abstract We investigate the performance properties of a multimode plastic optical fibre (POF) used in a traffic light system. An analytical function is proposed for predicting the angular power distribution at the output end of a multimode optical fibre when the beam at the input end of the fibre is centrally launched along the fibre axis. We demonstrate how mode coupling affects the output angular power distribution along the fibre and, therefore, the performance of optical fibre used as part of a traffic light system. It is found that as the length of the POF increases, the angular power distribution broadens until it reaches a length at which a steady-state distribution (SSD) is achieved. This broadening is insignificant at short POF lengths of up to 10 m. As a result, the effective radiation area at the output end of any long POF as part of different light systems, such as traffic, building, and bridge light systems, can be determined.

Abstract:
A basic operation of the very simple optical sensing system of fuel leakage in uniform sandy and clayey soils, which is consisting of a plastic optical fibre (POF) transmission line, the POF-type sensor heads, and a single LED photodiode pair, has been studied theoretically and experimentally. Its sensing principle is based on the POF structure change in the sensor head caused by fuels such as petrol. A scale-downed model prepared in the experimental room showed a possibility of optical detection of fuel leakage points in uniform soil. As this system operates without receiving the influence of water containing in fuels and soils, its application to fuel leak monitor around a filling station and oil tank can be expected.

Abstract:
An optimized study of tapered polymer optical fiber (POF) for measurement of different concentration of ethanol in deionized water (0.5%-3.5%) is proposed and demonstrated. This sensor operated based on evanescent wave absorption principle. The cladding of PMMA based POF is removed using organic solvents which can be used to create tapered POF. The unclad length around 1 cm and 3 cm as well as the waist diameters of POF in the range of 5 mm and 8 mm were compared for their efficiency as an ethanol sensor based on power output ratio values. Tapered POF with smaller waist diameter and longer tapered length showed higher sensitivity as ethanol sensor. Therefore, by tailoring the length and tapered diameter of POF, high sensitivity of ethanol sensor can be fabricated.

Abstract:
ABSTRACTIn this paper we present the design of an optical transmission system, using plastic optical fiber (POF), which operates in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The optical signals are generated by modulated visible LEDs, transmitted through POF and at the reception end a pin-pin photodetector is implemented. A computer simulation tool dedicated to the analysis of optical circuits was used for preliminary analysis of the optical system. The performance of the optical link was analyzed by BER prediction variation on the transmission rate. The tested optical system was assembled using high efficiency LEDs of the same wavelengths, a commercial POF and a pin-pin photodetector based on a-SiC:H/a-SI:H. This detector behaves as an optical filter with controlled wavelength sensitivity. Different optical signals, obtained by adequate modulation of LED optical sources, were coupled into the POF and the combined optical signal at the fiber termination was directed onto the photodetector active area. The output photocurrent was measured with and without optical bias. Results compare the use of a pin-pin transducer device in free space and in a POF transmission link.

Abstract:
In this work a multiparameter plastic optical fiber (POF) sensor is presented. A three lobes POF consisting of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) core and a fluorinated polymer (FP) for the cladding was fabricated. The aim is to use a plastic fiber with non-circular shape to implement a bending direction and rotation sensor. The mode confinement in the plastic filament obtained with the extrusion process was simulated, and the effect of bending evaluated. The POF sensor is interrogated in transmission using an LED as light source and a charge-coupled device (CCD) to capture the light intensity distribution inside the core, and then analyze the changes when a bending or a rotation is applied.

Abstract:
A plastic filament of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was fabricated by extrusion. The mode confinement was simulated using numerical software. The idea is to study how the light intensity changes inside the plastic optical fiber (POF) when a bending in multiple directions is applied. The results obtained from the simulation were compared to the experimental observations. The non-circular shape of the POF allows sensing a rotation applied as well. The angle of rotation was obtained processing two images of the end facet of the fiber (one with the fiber in a reference position and one with the rotated fiber), using an intensity-based automatic image registration. The accuracy in the rotation calculation was of 0.01°.

Abstract:
In the scenario of world energy crisis, building energy efficiency has become a mainstream research focus; since buildings take up a large share of the world energy consumption. Lighting plays an integral part in the buildings operationality through providing indoor visual comfort; and the much-needed daylight harnessing in building structures can be achieved through various strategies. This paper aims to evaluate the amount of plastic optical fiber (POF) required for achieving optimum indoor illumination through light transport and study the advantage of two dimensional solar tracking and light concentration on indoor daylight enhancement through POF as a trade-off for the amount of POF required in a static system. Illumination attained inside a representative closed chamber due to light transported by POF via various mechanisms was experimentally compared with outdoor direct illumination and the amount of POF required for achieving comfortable indoor illumination was calculated for a proposed system involving tracking and light concentration. A microcontroller based dual-axis solar tracker was designed for tracking sunlight on the POF collector node every 10 seconds and opaque internally reflective plastic containers acted like sample rooms in a building. Calculations for the representative day normalized for the flooring area in an office building showed a promising payback period of around 5 years through partial replacement of electric lighting. Additionally, reduction in heat conduction through window glazing further reduces the cooling costs.

Abstract:
Abstract A tapered plastic optic fiber (POF) was developed and demonstrated for monitoring different concentrations of limonene. The working mechanism of the sensor was dependent on the evanescent field interaction between light and the POF tapered region. The tapered POF was fabricated using a polishing-etching method to accomplish different waist diameters of 0.7 mm, 0.65 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.55 mm, and 0.5 mm in a 2 cm sensing region. The experiment was carried out with a blue LED with a wavelength of 400 nm and the output voltage was observed. As the concentration of the limonene solutions increased from 20% to 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%, the refractive index also increased to 1.39, 1.41, 1.43, 1.44, and 1.47, respectively. The sensitivity of the sensor increased as the tapered waist diameter was reduced. The key benefits of this sensor are its ease of handling and fabrication in comparison to other types of sensors.

Abstract:
A relative humidity sensor was fabricated by exploiting an evanescent wave (EW) on a U-bent tapered plastic optical fiber (POF) coated with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods. The POF was tapered manually using a polishing method to a diameter of 0.5 mm, a length of 5 cm, and a radius of 5 cm. ZnO nanorods were synthesized using a hydrothermal method and grown on the POF by a seeding process for 12 h. A significant response of the sensor was observed when the sensor was exposed to 35 to 90%RH due to the intense chemisorption process and changeable relative index in the POF. The sensitivity and resolution of the sensor have been improved by factors of 1.23 and 2.18, respectively, compared to the conventional tapered POF sensor without ZnO coating. Besides, the ZnO-coated sensor also exhibited better repeatability properties in terms of output voltage when exposed to 35 to 90%RH for three repeated measurements. The obtained results revealed that the proposed new POF sensor has an excellent sensing performance as an RH sensor in terms of sensitivity, repeatability, and stability properties.

Abstract:
Plastic optical fibres (POF) can be made sensitive to various parameters. Therefore, a successful implementation of tomographic imaging based on POF sensors will open the way to develop imagers for various parameters utilising this inexpensive sensor material. The work reported in this thesis is aiming to implement real time tomographic imaging based on the POF sensor. As the system uses light (photons) guided along the sensor to capture the information and deliver a signal at the periphery of the sensor, this technique is referred to as Photonic Guided Path Tomography (PGPT). As an initial stage of the work, we perform systematic testing of the sensitivity of POF transmission to bending. The results confirm that grooving can enhance this sensitivity of the POF sensor. They also provide an empirical proof of the anticipated changes in transmission loss by positive and negative bending for grooved POF (opening and closing of grooves respectively). We show that small positive bending increases the power loss, while for negative bending the power loss experiences a minimum, corresponding to the best achievable waveguiding recovery because of the closing of grooves. Beyond certain deformation, the sensitivity of the POF sensor is dominated by losses in the un-grooved regions. A bending test for the mechanical integrity of grooved POFs shows that repetitive bending to a small radius results in a quick deterioration depending on the depth of the groove. However for bending radii more than 20mm and groove depths up to 0.3mm, the lifetime of the POF sensor is still acceptable for many targeted sensor application.While it is clear that the grooved POF is more sensitive to small bending compared to the un-grooved POF, the latter offers uncompromised mechanical integrity and is more desirable when the highest possible sensitivity is not a priority. Therefore, in the final stage of the work, both grooved and un-grooved POF are considered as candidates for developing the tomographic imaging modality. Further detail is considered in view of the targeted deliverable, a real PGPT system for footstep imaging, based on POF sensors. This has been successfully achieved by designing, integrating and testing two different PGPT systems: one based on grooved POF with sensor head size of 0.9m x 0.9m incorporating a multiplexed photodetector and another based on un-grooved POF with sensor head size of 2m x 1m, incorporating independent POF sensors. Both are capable of performing the real time imaging task as well as storing the numerical data for alternative processing. The image reconstruction is by applying a median-filtered Landweber method to solve the inverse tomography problem. The frame rate achieved is 2Hz and 1Hz with spatial resolution estimated as 10cm and 3cm for the first and second system respectively

Abstract:
The design and performance of a novel displacement sensor is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. This is an optical, extrinsic and differential sensor based on the inverse square law and is insensitive to source intensity variations. It can, in principle, be implemented using only opto-electronic components or it can incorporate optical fibres to allow for EMI free and remote operation. The sensor is implemented using Plastic Optical Fibres (POF) as these offer considerable advantages over glass fibres or glass fibre bundles. The sensor head consists of three POFs positioned side by side and displaced from each other parallel to the axis of the sensor head by a separation X, (mm). The middle POF is coupled to a red LED and emits light onto a flat target with the two outer fibres receiving the reflected light from the target and guiding it to two silicon PIN photodiodes. Theoretical investigations on the behaviour of the sensor are presented for ranges between 0 mm and 100 mm, and for targets with different reflectivities. Non-linearities in the form of a spike are shown to exist in the very short ranges resulting in a minimum operational range of about 15 nun Beyond this minimum range the sensor response is linear and depends on the reflectivity of the target, the accuracy of calibration between the two detectors, any offset voltage present in any of the detectors, possible errors on the detected signals and the X, separation which in principle can be used to scale the sensor. Experimental results obtained confirm the long and linear operational range of the sensor (between 15 mm and 90 mm for a mirror target and between 20 mm and 100 mm for a matt white paper target). Likely variations in the source light intensity do not affect the performance and accuracy of the sensor. Measurements performed with various X, separations verify the scalability feature of the sensor in that by increasing X, one can achieve longer operational ranges. Temperature variations up to 40 °c do not affect the linearity of response. Effects arising from angular misalignment of the target and! or the ends of the three POFs are also investigated and could be minimised by rotating the emitting POF. Matt white paper is concluded as the preferred type of target since it offers a longer linear operational range with less stringent alignment requirements as opposed to reflective targets. Operation of the sensor under ambient illumination conditions is demonstrated using suitable electronic circuitry with filtering facilities. The result is a linear operational range of 60 mm with 1 % accuracy with a matt white paper target. An automated version of the sensor under software control is also demonstrated for monitoring large amplitude (0.15 mm - 6 mm), single degree vibrations. The maximum determined frequency of the vibrating surface is about 150 Hz and this is only limited by the target displacement which is close to the resolution limits of this version of the sensor (0.15 mm). This novel sensor offers considerable advantages over other sensors reported in the literature. It is shown to offer a very long and linear operational range in excess of 100 mm, with accuracy better than 1% and resolution better than 0.2 % of range, and currently this performance is only limited by the electronic circuitry used. Overall, the proposed sensor offers a superior sensor head arrangement and performance combination and its cost is expected to be very low. Suggestions for improvements and other applications are offered.

Abstract:
This thesis describes the development, characterisation and application of large diameter multimode plastic optical fibre (POF) sensors using evanescent field modulation. The exposed polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) core of the POF fibre forms the sensor interface that detects refractive index changes of a measurand acting as the cladding. When a liquid measurand is used, the sensor can detect changes in refractive index, absorption and suspended particulates. It is this simple mechanism by which the evanescent field POF sensor operates. The evanescent field POF sensor has been characterised for refractive index of surrounding liquid from 1.33 to 1.49. The sensor demonstrated accuracy of ± 7x 10-3 refractive index units below 1.4 and ±2x 10-3 refractive index units above 1.4. Components have been selected and designed for this project to ruggedise the sensor, to make the sensor more self-contained and cheaper. The original design of the test conditions did not allow for optimum deployment of the sensor as it stripped out the very modes of light that were required for sensing purposes. The system was also operating under pressure, not reflecting the real conditions under which the sensor would be operating. The re-design of test conditions holds the sensor without straining the POF and operates under normal atmospheric pressure. The POF sensor was demonstrated reacting to a real measurand eg biofilm in which initial growth affects the optical properties at the core cladding interface by refractive index modulation. This sensor was capable of measuring biofouling and scaling at water interfaces. The sensor was trialled in a European Commission funded project (CLOOPT) to study biofouling and scaling in closed loop water systems such as heat exchangers in the cooling tower of an electric power plant, and as an interface sensor for water quality monitoring (AQUA-STEW) involving biofilm removal and surface cleansing with a new application for contact lens protein removal systems. Tapering multimode POF was a desirable goal as this increases the proportion of light coupled into the core available for sensing purposes, to achieve a more sensitive evanescent field POF sensor. Optically clear and consistent smooth tapering of ends and mid-lengths of POF fibre were achieved through chemical removal of material. The tapered POF sensor was characterised with a range of refractive indices, and it exhibited two distinct regions; the water/alcohol region below 1.4 refractive index units, and the oil region above 1.4 suggesting the sensor's use as an oil-in-water, or water-in-oil sensor. From 95% confidence limits, the accuracy of the POF was ±O.006 refractive index units (to 2 standard deviations) for fluids of refractive indices above 1.4. Tapered POF is sensitive to refractive index providing a cheap, easy to handle and rugged throwaway sensor for water and beverage process and quality monitoring.

Doutoramento em Engenharia Física
Com o presente trabalho pretendeu-se explorar soluções de fibra ótica na aquisição da onda de pulso na artéria carótida, para análise da sua morfologia e cálculo da pressão arterial central. Foram desenvolvidos três sistemas, dois baseados em redes de Bragg, gravadas em fibra de sílica, e outro em modulação de intensidade, usando fibra ótica de plástico. O primeiro sensor foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de testar a exequibilidade da utilização de fibra ótica nesta aplicação. Após resultados promissores da sua caracterização e testes em sujeitos, o desenvolvimento dos dois sensores consequentes teve por objetivo o aumento da sensibilidade e facilidade de utilização das sondas, pela melhoria da sua forma, portabilidade e autonomia. A solução baseada em intensidade mostrou-se ainda como um sistema que coligava desempenho a baixo custo, tendo por isso sido submetida a um estudo pré-clínico, comparando o seu desempenho ao de um dispositivo comercial, de natureza eletromecânica, numa pequena coorte de indivíduos saudáveis. Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar a correlação dos resultados obtidos com a sonda de fibra ótica e o dispositivo comercial. Tendo-se obtido uma correlação muito forte entre as duas técnicas, o dispositivo foi proposto para avaliação clínica. O desempenho da sonda foi assim comparado a um dispositivo comercial, numa coorte de indivíduos hipertensos. Foram também levados a cabo testes invasivos, usando como referência ondas de pressão obtidas no lúmen da artéria aorta em contexto de cateterismo cardíaco. Em ambos os estudos clínicos foram obtidos coeficientes de correlação muito fortes e diferenças de pressão média na gama obtida para dispositivos comerciais. Conclui-se assim que o dispositivo baseado em modulação de intensidade surge como uma promissora alternativa de baixo custo aos dispositivos eletromecânicos de avaliação de pressão arterial central disponíveis no mercado.
The present study aimed to explore fibre optic solutions in the acquisition of the pulse wave in the carotid artery, to its morphology analysis and central arterial pressure calculation. Three systems were developed, two based on Bragg gratings, engraved in silica fibre, and another on intensity modulation, using plastic optical fibre. The first sensor was developed in order to test the feasibility of the fibre optics use in this application. After promising results in the characterization and small tests in subjects, the development of the consequent two sensors had as main goals increasing the probes sensitivity and user-friendliness, by improving its shape, portability and autonomy. The intensity-based solution proved to be the system that best combined performance to low cost, and thus was subjected to a pre-clinical study, comparing its performance to a commercial device in a small cohort of healthy individuals. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the results obtained with the fibre optic probe and the commercial device. Having been obtained a very strong correlation between the two techniques, the device was proposed for clinical evaluation. The probe’s performance was therefore compared to a non-invasive commercial device, in a cohort of hypertensive individuals. Invasive testing was also performed, using as reference pressure waves obtained in the lumen of the aortic artery in cardiac catheterization context. In both trials very strong correlation coefficients were obtained, as well as medium pressure differences in the range verified for commercial devices. It is concluded that the device based on intensity modulation arises as promising low cost alternative to central arterial pressure assessment electromechanical devices available in the market.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the generation and radio-over-fibre (RoF) transport of unlicensed 60 GHz millimetre-wave (mm-wave) frequency band. The investigated benefits of transmission schemes applicable for the mm-wave generation include optical carrier suppression (OCS), optical frequency multiplication (OFM) and remote heterodyne detection (RHD). For the in-door cabling of the mm-wave transmission, a low-cost polymer optical fibre (POF) along with bend-insensitive single mode fibre (BI-SMF) has been investigated for short-range networks. Transporting mm-wave generated signals over POF and BI-SMF cables based on OCS scheme showed results with the highest spectral efficiency and least inter-symbol interference over a 2.5 Gbit/s data delivery. Based on this thesis analysis, OCS simulation of POF showed the most reliable power penalty performance and receiver sensitivity at 30-m whilst the BI-SMF fiber produced equal observations at 150-m and more. In observing the free space links of delivering the RoF signal, the attenuation on the received signal power for both POF and BI-SMF was insignificant but expected, as the simulation assumed complete and total collimation of the light beams onto the aperture of the photodetector. OCS scheme for mm-wave generation and transport was explored based on the cost effectiveness of using one external modulator compared to other generation schemes that utilised more than one external modulator. OFM scheme was simulated to transport LTE and Wi-Fi signals along with 60 GHz RF band through both SMF and MMF-POF/BI-SMF cables. OFM transport scheme produced the highest attenuation on LTE, Wi-Fi and mm-wave signals carrying 100 Mbit/s data as simulated POF lengths increased. The best performance POF length was observed at 10-m. The application of offset launch technique at the coupling of SMF and POF showed insignificant improvement on signal bandwidth. The free space OFM transmission also demonstrated negligible change to the received signal power. This reinforces the attributes of deploying OWC system in an in-door environment. In other investigation, the simulated successful delivery of mm-wave signal using RHD scheme modulated and transported 10 Gbit/s data signal over POF and BI-SMF cables. Additional observed unrecorded result also showed BI-SMF cable maintained a 2% reduction of received power for 450-m fiber cable from 150-m. The attributes to RHD includes its low operating power system application and delivery of localised 60 GHz signal for uplink RoF transmission. The conceptualised design of Gigabit data delivery for indoor customer applications either through POF or BI-SMF cable, transporting various wireless channels has been presented in this thesis for the design of a robust next generation Broadband access network to reinforce the fiber-inside-the-home (FiTH) deployment.
