Absolute Temperature Sensing in the 67-350 K Range Using Brillouin Scattering in Gases

This paper proposes a novel temperature sensing method using stimulated Brillouin scattering in a hollow-core fiber filled with gas. Compared to classical Brillouin sensors, the Brillouin response of gases shows a higher sensitivity at cryogenic temperatur ...

Strain-only distributed optical fiber sensing with no intrinsic temperature sensitivity

Luc Thévenaz, Yuting Yang

We report a novel approach to distributed optical fiber sensing that achieves strain-only measurement with no intrinsic temperature cross-sensitivity. This is accomplished by filling the microstructured cladding of a photonic crystal fiber with a simple ga ...

Distributed Temperature Alarm System Based on Incoherent Optical Time-Domain Reflectometry and Side Air-Hole Optical Fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Yuting Yang, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez

This paper proposes and experimentally validates a distributed temperature alarm system based on carbon dioxide (CO2)-filled 18 m side air-holes fiber (SAHF), interrogated through a conventional (incoherent) optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR). Custom ...

Study on the possibility of Φ-OTDR sensing in hollow-core fibres

Luc Thévenaz, Malak Mohamed Hossameldeen Omar Mohamed Galal, Yuting Yang

The backscattering process in hollow core fibres shows a large similarity with Rayleigh scattering, offering the potential to be exploited for distributed sensing. A classical Φ-OTDR implementation is used to observe the backscattering signal from the surf ...

Distributed Alarm System Based on OTDR Interrogation of Side Air-Hole Fibers

Luc Thévenaz, Yuting Yang, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez

A distributed sensor for multi-event alarm triggering is demonstrated by measuring the loss change induced by the liquefaction of pressured CO2 trapped along a side air-hole fiber. ...
