Optical fibre sensors are being investigated since many years as candidates of choice for
supporting structural health monitoring (SHM) in aerospace applications. Fibre Bragg …

In this paper, a new configuration for an all-optical analog-to-digital converter based on
nonlinear materials has been proposed. This structure is the combination of two main parts …

In this article, we report on a carbon-coated optical fiber that is suitable to be used
simultaneously as a transmission medium and as a sensor. It consists of a standard single …

A novel fiber optical monitoring concept for real-time localization of activated fire sprinkler
heads is presented and discussed in this work. The concept is implemented by a designed …

The optical fibre coating is essential to ensure high performance and reliability of the optical
fibre. Out of all polymer-coated fibres, polyimide coatings provide the highest temperature …

This chapter provides an overview of the use of strain sensors for structural health
monitoring. Compared to acceleration-based sensors, strain sensors can measure the …

We present the inscription of a fibre Bragg grating (FBG) array in non-transparent carbon
coated optical fibre using the direct write, plane-by-plane femtosecond laser inscription …

Carbon-coated optical glass fibers were designed to reduce the hydrogen-induced light
attenuation (hydrogen darkening) in harsh environments. The carbon layer reduces the …

In this design, we introduced a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) fiber-sensing probe into a
column chromatography (CC) system to realize on-line dynamic detection in sample …
