Fiber–optic sensors have been widely deployed in various applications, and their use has
gradually increased since the 1980 s. Distributed fiber–optic sensors, which enable …

The distributed fibre sensing technology based on backward stimulated Brillouin scattering
(BSBS) is experiencing a rapid development. However, all reported implementations of …

Optical fibres constitute an exceptional sensing platform. However, standard fibres present
an inherent sensing challenge: they confine light to an inner core. Consequently, distributed …

The nonlinear coefficient of chalcogenide glass is 200–1000 times larger than that of silica
glass, and it is transparent in the 1–15 μm wavelength windows, which makes the nonlinear …

Guided acoustic wave Brillouin scattering has gained considerable interest in recent years
because of its capacity to detect mechanical features of materials surrounding the optical …

Forward stimulated Brillouin scattering in standard single‐mode fibers draws increasing
interest toward sensing and signal processing applications. The process takes place …

Distributed measurement of forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (FSBS) attracted
substantial attention for its ability to probe media surrounding optical fibers. Currently, all …

The standard single-mode fiber has been demonstrated as an optomechanical sensor
recently to measure the acoustic impedances of surrounding liquids by means of the …

The proper function of protective coating layers is essential for the handling and application
of brittle optical fibers. The elastic parameters of polymer coatings can be studied through off …

The analysis of surrounding media has been a long-standing challenge of optical fiber
sensors. Measurements are difficult due to the confinement of light to the inner core of …
