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 ...

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 ...

SBS-based fiber sensors

Luc Thévenaz

The spectra of Brillouin scattering processes in optical fibers are affected by temperature, axial strain, and other quantities of interest. This dependence forms the basis for optical Brillouin scattering based optical fiber sensors. Since the first propo ...

A Photonic Integrated Circuit-Based Erbium-doped Waveguide Amplifier

Tobias Kippenberg, Rui Ning Wang, Xinru Ji, Zheru Qiu, Junqiu Liu, Yang Liu, Jijun He

We demonstrate an erbium-doped waveguide amplifier by erbium ion implantation in Si3N4 photonic integrated circuits, achieving 145 mW on-chip output power and more than 30 dB small-signal gain, which is on par with commercial fiber amplifiers and beyond st ...

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 ...

Massive nonlinear optical amplification in gas

Luc Thévenaz, Flavien Gyger

We achieve unprecedented nonlinear optical amplification in gas. The gain is 20 times larger than any reported nonlinear gain in gas-filled HC-PCF and 6 times larger than the largest nonlinear gain in standard silica single-mode fiber (SMF). Furthermore, o ...

Phase Sensitive OTDR Strain Measurement Using Single Mode Operation in Multimode OM4 Fiber

Luc Thévenaz, Zhisheng Yang, Alejandro Dominguez Lopez

We present the first realization of strain sensing in a multimode OM4 optical fiber using phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry. We demonstrate that single mode operation in an OM4 fiber is achievable and allows the fiber strain to be measured ...

Impact of the fiber coating on the temperature response of distributed optical fiber sensors at cryogenic ranges

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Xin Lu

The thermomechanical behavior of a standard single mode fiber with different coating materials is theoretically analyzed under different temperature conditions. Results show that the thermal expansion/shrinkage of the fiber coating introduces an extra stra ...
