Different techniques to improve the response of distributed fiber sensors are reviewed, which turn out to be far from simplistic as a result of cross-interactions between nonlinear effects. ...
The integration of conducting and semiconducting architectures within thermally drawn thin and flexible fibers is emerging as a versatile platform for smart sensors and imaging systems, medical and biological probes, energy harvesting and advanced textile. ...
The field of hybrid optical fibers is one of the most active research areas in current fiber optics and has the vision of integrating sophisticated materials inside fibers, which are not traditionally used in fiber optics. Novel in‐fiber devices with uniqu ...
Increasing the number of resolved points, by either improving the spatial resolution or extending the measurement range, is one of the main challenges being currently faced in distributed optical fibre sensing. This paper explores the main parameters affec ...
Fibre sensing has reached an interesting turning point today: a clearer assessment about promises that were really held and those that failed to convince can be envisioned. A choice of key fibre sensing techniques will be reviewed and a critical discussion ...
The Colladon symposium is a public event that will honor the physicist Jean-Daniel Colladon (1802-1890). He was a scientist born in Geneva and well known for his measurements of the speed of sound in the lake of Geneva, his development of tunnel drilling m ...
The real remoteness of a distributed optical fiber sensor based on Brillouin optical time-domain analysis is considerably extended in this paper using seeded second-order Raman amplification and optical pulse coding. The presented analysis and the experime ...
We address the concept of virtual transparency in optical fibres and its application to dynamic range extension in distributed sensors. A sensor featuring 100 km measurement range with 2 meter resolution is experimentally demonstrated. ...
Since the invention of optical fiber cable data transmission using light has become ubiquitous in the past years. Nonlinear optical effects, which are hardly noticed in our daily life, have become crucial and highly influential for the design and performan ...
Distributed fiber sensing possesses the unique ability to measure the distributed profile of an environmental quantity along many tens of kilometers with spatial resolutions in the meter or even centimeter scale. This feature enables distributed sensors to ...
