Owing to their high sensitivity with respect to external measurands, Rayleigh-based distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS) find their way into applications in many industrial and academic sectors. To further transcend the limit of these sensors in terms ...
In this paper, we report on the comprehensive study on Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanolayer coated etched Fiber Bragg Grating (eFBG) strain sensor. MoS2 nanolayer is coated using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) of Molybdenum (Mo) on eFBGs followed by sulf ...
Spontaneous Brillouin scattering is measured for the first time in a hollow-core anti-resonant fibre (HC-ARF) filled with Nitrogen (N2) gas at different pressures. A Brillouin gain of 0.029 m^−1W^−1 is yielded at a pressure of 34.7 bar. ...

This paper presents the measurement accuracy of a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (ϕ-OTDR) as a function of SNR and pulse width. A method to determine the absolute SNR of a ϕ-OTDR system is also proposed. ...

Distributed temperature sensing with 10 dB back-reflection-enhanced fiber is performed based on φ-OTDR. While the temperature sensitivity of such fibers is similar to that of standard single-mode fibers, a 3-times higher temperature resolution is observed. ...
