In the past two decades Brillouin-based sensors have emerged as a newly-developed
optical fiber sensing technology for distributed temperature and strain measurements …

To date, the application of self-sensing or other structural health monitoring (SHM)
technologies in railway sleepers is limited. Development and deployment of smart sleepers …

This book explains physical principles, unique benefits, broad categories, implementation
aspects, and performance criteria of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS). For each kind …

We review recent advances in distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) and their applications.
The scattering mechanisms in glass, which are exploited for reflectometry-based DFOS, are …

Distributed fiber optic sensing (DFOS) is a rapidly evolving field that allows the existing
optical fiber infrastructure for telecommunications to be reused for wide-area sensing. Using …

We present a slope-assisted BOTDA system based on the vector stimulated Brillouin
scattering (SBS) and frequency-agile technique (FAT) for the wide-strain-range dynamic …

A novel fiber-optic sensing structure based on miniaturized modal interferometer (MMI) for
simultaneous refractive index (RI), strain and temperature measurement is proposed. It is …

We propose and demonstrate a fiber sensor for simultaneous temperature and strain
