High-resolution Brillouin fiber sensing using random phase coding of the pump and probe waves

Distributed temperature measurements with 1.2 cm resolution based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in standard fibers are reported. High resolution is achieved by phase-coding both pump and probe waves with a high-rate, pseudo-random binary phase c ...

Stress changes in H2-loaded SMF optical fibers induced by cw-Ar+ 244 nm irradiation

Hans Georg Limberger, Georgios Violakis, Nandita Aggarwal

Bragg gratings were inscribed in H2-loaded SMF-28e optical fibers and measured for axial stress changes for various exposure doses. Mean refractive index changes as high as 7.5 × 10-3 were observed under cw-244 nm irradiation of 143 W/cm2. Bragg grating re ...

Real-time, in vivo measurement of tissular pO(2) through the delayed fluorescence of endogenous protoporphyrin IX during photodynamic therapy

Hubert van den Bergh, Georges Wagnières, Anna Maria Novello, Patrycja Nowak-Sliwinska, Filippo Piffaretti, Cédric Xavier Paulou

Tissular oxygen concentration plays a key role during photodynamic therapy (PDT). Therefore, monitoring its local oxygen partial pressure (pO(2)) may help predict and/or control the outcome of a PDT treatment. The first real-time, in vivo measurements of t ...

1 Mbps coherent one-way QKD with dense wavelength division multiplexing and hardware key distillation

Andreas Peter Burg, Jeremy Hugues-Felix Constantin, Nicolas Gisin

We present the latest results obtained with a quantum cryptography prototype based on a coherent-one way quantum key distribution (QKD) scheme. To support its continuous high rate secret key generation we developed different low-noise single photon detecto ...

Strong fiber Bragg gratings in Bi-Al co-doped H2-loaded optical fibers using CW-Ar+ laser

Hans Georg Limberger, Georgios Violakis

Bragg gratings with reflectivity > 93% were fabricated in Bi-Al co-doped H-2-loaded optical fibers. Average index changes as high as +2.5x10(-3) were obtained. Positive core stress changes indicate a compaction contribution to the total index change. ...
