Brillouin gain curves of a standard optical fibre have been measured down to 3 K. In comparison with their well-documented characteristics at room temperature, they show original and interesting features, namely non-monotonous variations of the central fre ...
Moisture is an essential parameter in the behaviour of capillary-porous construction materials such as timber and concrete. It affects liquid and gas transport phenomena, chemical and biological degradation processes, mechanical properties and, in the case ...
This work connects of three domains of fiber optics : the fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), the optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) and the fiber optical sensors (using FBGs, the OLCR or a combination of both). Fiber Bragg gratings are fiber optic devices ...
The characterization of the fracture process zone inside a cracked concrete specimen is investigated through optical fiber technology. Fiber Bragg gratings are used to measure the strains in the close vicinity of the crack front, thus enabling us (for the ...
We demonstrate that an optical fibre current sensor can measure current over 500 kA with an accuracy of 0.2%. This level of accuracy has never previously been achieved using a traditional non-optical sensor ...
Stimulated Brillouin scattering in silica-based optical fibers may be considered from two different and complementary standpoints. For a physicist, this interaction of light and pressure wave in a material, or equivalently in quantum theory terms between p ...
We have designed and developed a new class of optical fiber components based on thin-film coatings and fiber gratings. In our design, the function of the thin-film fiber coating is to provide an electrical means to regulate the optical response of the fibe ...
In this letter, we demonstrate the limitations for 1 × N free space optical switch with a moving macro-lens. We use a deformable mirror to overcome these limitations. The adaptive mirror corrects for the aberrations. Power coupling efficiencies between 6 a ...
The authors investigate a 1 × N free-space microoptical fiber switch for a large number of interconnects. The system to be studied is a reflective 4 f optical system. Alignment tolerances and coupling efficiency are investigated and the benefit brought by ...
The fast-fracture and stress-rupture of a crossply ceramic-matrix composite with a matrix through-crack are examined numerically to assess the importance of fiber architecture and the associated stress concentrations at the 0/90 ply interface on failure. F ...
