Humidity-insensitive optical fibers for distributed sensing applications

Luc Thévenaz, Tiago Filipe Pimentel Das Neves

Humidity is a critical environmental factor in various applications, and its temperature dependence must be considered when developing thermo-hygrometer fiber sensors. The optical fibers that constitute the sensor must have a temperature reference, which s ...

A Kilometre-range Distributed Relative Humidity Fibre Sensor

Tiago Filipe Pimentel Das Neves

Fibre optics sensors have been identified as very good candidates for environmental monitoring inside the silicon detectors operated at CERN's Large Hadron Collider. The objective of this dissertation is the development of a Relative Humidity (RH) distribu ...

Distributed Fibre Optic Thermo-hygrometer for Monitoring the Concrete Curing

Luc Thévenaz, Kenny Hey Tow, Tiago Filipe Pimentel Das Neves

The moisture content in concrete is a critical parameter for most of the degradation processes such as shrinkage and cracking. In this paper, we present the first kilometre-range thermo-hygrometer for monitoring the concrete curing. ...

Reaching mK-scale stability in CP-ɸOTDR over daily measurements

Luc Thévenaz, Tiago Filipe Pimentel Das Neves, Luis Costa

We propose several processing methods to mitigate the probability of large errors in Chirped-pulse ɸOTDR, improving performances for long-term measurements. For no perturbation applied, we reach a 2 mK error after a 24 h experiment. ...

Analysis of uncoated LPGs written in B-Ge doped fiber under proton irradiation for sensing applications at CERN

Tiago Filipe Pimentel Das Neves

In this contribution, a complete dissertation concerning the behavior of a Long Period Grating (LPG) inscribed in a B-Ge co-doped optical fiber by means of an excimer laser and exposed to proton irradiation during a recent extensive campaign performed at t ...
