The fast phase-correlation algorithm yields the best combination of high SNR and accuracy. The second process deals with the estimation of the wavelength shifts via the different demodulation algorithm presented in Section 2. The full equation for the reflected power ( The spectral characteristics viz. 0000023856 00000 n The variation of the FWHM and UNB indices of each sensor as a function of the load case is reported in Figure 11. Second, they can be integrated within materials in a minimally-intrusive manner thanks to their small size and weight. The method that is preferable depends on the type of grating to be manufactured. As shown above, in the strong grating limit (i.e., for large Moreover, additional distortion indices sensible to both asymmetry and the amount of birefringence could be used. There are, however, three properties that need to be controlled in a FBG. The grating period can be uniform or graded, and either localised or distributed in a superstructure.

As an example, passive fibers with clad diameters of 395-m spliced to active octagon shaped fiber with clad diameters of 400-m improve the coupling of the pump power into the active fiber. Moreover, the FPC, as well as the CC algorithms have low sensitivity to wavelength bandwidth. We use cookies on our website to ensure you get the best experience. Erdogan and J. Lightwave, Fiber Grating Spectra, Journal of Lightwave Technology, Vol. Matching of the MFD is also a method used to create matched signal carrying fibers. e , due to an applied strain ( The authors are grateful for partial financial support of the Research Foundation, Flanders (FWO), and of Belgian Science Policy (BELSPO) for the Interuniversity Attraction Pole P7/35 [emailprotected]: towards smart photonics in 2020. Then, a sinusoidal wave of amplitude 4 V and frequency 7 Hz is generated in MATLAB, amplified and sent to the the shaker through an NI USB-6341 data acquisition card [34]. Essentially, the MFD is modeled and the resulting target NA and core diameter are developed. g Rao, Y.J. \ As well as being sensitive to strain, the Bragg wavelength is also sensitive to temperature. 3 Thus far, five (or six) types of FBG have been reported with different underlying photosensitivity mechanisms. 4 / Optics Express 3592. B 0000004594 00000 n The gradient < ) is approximately given by. The first in-fiber Bragg grating was demonstrated by Ken Hill in 1978. The CD algorithm is also sensitive to wavelength bandwidth, although less than the MD. This however does not account for all the refractive index profile features. (` endstream endobj 274 0 obj << /Length 191 /Filter /LZWDecode >> stream The peak of the spectrum at 976 nm is related to the unabsorbed pump light. 1995; Sun et al. The reflected wavelength changes with the grating period, broadening the reflected spectrum. Although this case corresponds to a positive SNRMD, the ratio In fact, even if there are additional influences on the achievable SNR levels, because of birefringence, measurement noise and vibration amplitude, the performance of the algorithms as a function of the spanned FWHM and UNB ranges follow the same trend showed by the simulations. The inner cladding of the active fiber is often shaped to scramble the cladding modes and increase pump overlap with the doped core. Figure 4 compares the performance of the different algorithms considering how the SNR changes as a function of the simulated scenario. The two functions typically used to apodize a FBG are Gaussian and raised-cosine. [27] This method is specifically applicable to the fabrication of long period fiber gratings. [33], Such monolithic, all-fiber devices are produced by many companies worldwide and at power levels exceeding 1kW. Figure 12 shows the experimental SNR levels obtained by the different demodulation algorithms. Soc. ) is approximately given by, Here, The transfer-matrix method [28] is used to simulate the behavior of a single-mode FBG sensor subjected to 300 different scenarios of non-uniform strain field distributions along the sensor axis. ) the bandwidth depends on the grating strength, and not the grating length. This means that the reflection and transmission spectra are complementary and there is negligible loss of light by reflection into the cladding or by absorption. They can also be used as transduction elements, converting the output of another sensor, which generates a strain or temperature change from the measurand, for example fiber Bragg grating gas sensors use an absorbent coating, which in the presence of a gas expands generating a strain, which is measurable by the grating. For this reason, it is also called modal index. 2.3. {\displaystyle \lambda _{B}} Between two consecutive steps, we performed vibration measurements using a shaker and a full-spectrum interrogation routine, and we compared the SNR levels obtained with the four demodulation algorithms. 0000004803 00000 n The fast phase-correlation and centroid detection algorithms are the most accurate, but the fast phase-correlation produces higher SNR levels and works better when the amount of spectral distortion increases and the vibration amplitude decreases (i.e., when is low). FBG demultiplexers and OADMs can also be tunable. 0000005619 00000 n 0000003086 00000 n The accuracy of the CD technique (Figure 6) shows low variation with both FWHM and UNB. [clarification needed], Typically the grating period is the same size as the Bragg wavelength, as shown above. Wang, H.; Zhang, G.; Zheng, S. Reconstruction of the nonuniform strain profile for fiber Bragg grating using dynamic particle swarm optimization algorithm and its experimental verification. Huber, R.; Adler, D.C.; Fujimoto, J.G. The refractive index has two primary characteristics, the refractive index profile, and the offset. = WebThe interaction between a guided core mode and the cladding modes of a long-period fiber grating filters is analyzed theoretically.Based on the modes of a step-index fiber geometry,the coupled-mode equations that describe co-propagating interactions in a long-period grating is simplified by neglecting the longitudinal coupling coefficients,and The reflective spectrum power and the bandwidth of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) under gradient strain are researched and experimentally demonstrated. Statistically, the major number of failures in terms of both SNR and accuracy occurs for FWHM and UNB, respectively, above 1.43 and 0.87 nm. ; Jin, W.; Chan, K.C. Section 2 recalls the principles of the detection algorithms compared in our study. 2. {\displaystyle \delta n_{0}} CC is the method that performs better in the scenario interval from 101 to 200. The shadow of the photomask then determines the grating structure based on the transmitted intensity of light striking the fiber. For this reason, it was labeled as a regenerated grating. M Three FBGs (FBG1, FBG2, FBG3) with Bragg wavelengths 1529.62 nm (FBG1), 1539.55 nm (FBG2) and 1559.41 nm (FBG3) are used.

Detection of transverse cracks in CFRP composites using embedded fiber Bragg grating sensors. First of all, the simulated strain functions do not match the applied strain used for the measurements exactly. This is due to the fact that the maximum FWHM (1.41 nm) obtained from the experiments is below the critical value 1.43 nm, above which, according to simulations, the MD algorithm starts to fail. They are specifically used as notch filters. p https://doi.org/10.3390/s141224258, Lamberti A, Vanlanduit S, De Pauw B, Berghmans F.

Norton, T. Erdogan, G. Morris Physics 1997 ; Jin, W.; Wang, D.N. Bragg gratings in Apodized gratings offer significant improvement in side-lobe suppression while maintaining reflectivity and a narrow bandwidth. This is in accordance with what we saw in our simulations, where the CC worked better than the FPC for spectral vibrations with an amplitude below 7.02 pm (Scenarios 101200 in Figure 4). In a FBG sensor, the measurand causes a shift in the Bragg wavelength, As mentioned in the Introduction, when broadband light encounters a FBG sensor, part of its spectrum at a specific wavelength is reflected. 255 0 obj << /Linearized 1 /O 258 /H [ 1371 941 ] /L 644004 /E 30871 /N 18 /T 638785 >> endobj xref 255 43 0000000016 00000 n The challenge is to operate these monolithic cavities at the kW CW power level in large mode area (LMA) fibers such as 20/400 (20m diameter core and 400m diameter inner cladding) without premature failures at the intra-cavity splice points and the gratings. depends not only on the wavelength but also (for multimode waveguides) on the mode in which the light propagates. Photosensitivity in optical fiber waveguides: Application to reflection filter fabrication. The optical frequency response of an AFBS has two narrowband notches with the frequency spacing between them being in the radio frequency (RF) range. For the 8 tilted WTFBG, the tilted plane grating breaks the symmetry of mode coupling. WebFiber Bragg grating spectra in multimode optical fibers. WebIn this paper, we propose using an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching technique to fabricate a notched long-period fiber grating (NLPFG) for magnetic sensing application. WebT. Today, FBG sensors are adopted for probing a variety of measurands, such as strain, temperature, pressure, erosion and even magnetic fields [3,4]. Multiple requests from the same IP address are counted as one view. From the numerical point of view, this happens because the amplitude of the FFT signal obtained via the MD algorithm lies within the noise floor. These are gratings that are reborn at higher temperatures after erasure of gratings, usually type I gratings and usually, though not always, in the presence of hydrogen.

The MD can produce better SNR than CD and CC for FWHM < 1.65 nm and UNB < 0.81 nm. [2] Initially, the gratings were fabricated using a visible laser propagating along the fiber core. P He wrote the bulk of the paper. WebSpectra of wavelength shifts observed during tuning of a 1560-nm FBG. In the case of a simple fiber laser, the FBGs can be used as the high reflector (HR) and output coupler (OC) to form the laser cavity. ), is given by.

Finally, the Flemish Hercules Foundation and the Methusalem Foundation of Vrije Universiteit Brussel are acknowledged, as well. This paper has shown that the FPC is the algorithm that guarantees the best combination of versatility, precision and accuracy. , and the thermo-optic coefficient, 0000002862 00000 n Comparing with a single fiber Bragg grating, this type of FP cavity has narrower bandwidth of transmission (or reflection) spectra so that it has been applied in the fields of fiber optic sensing (Fan et al. Longer periods can be used to achieve much broader responses than are possible with a standard FBG. To simulate the desired dynamic behavior of distorted FBG spectra, we adopted the transfer-matrix method. Microscopic examination of these gratings showed a periodic damage track at the grating's site within the fiber [10]; hence type II gratings are also known as damage gratings. The reflectivity spectrum of a Fiber Bragg Grating with uniform modulation of refractive index is followed by a series of sidelobes at adjacent wavelengths. These studies can be grouped into two main categories: the first focusing on the reconstruction of the non-uniform strain field in static or quasi-static condition [16,25] using neural networks and genetic algorithms; the second dealing with the development of new types of interrogator systems with higher performance in terms of accuracy and interrogation speed [26,27]. The grating length of both LPG and CFBG are around 2 cm. Figure 9b explains the experimental procedure used to analyze the algorithm performance. As the FBG spectrum shifts, the reflectivity of the grating at the laser wavelength varies, causing a change of the output power at the photodetector, which is a Lamberti, A.; Vanlanduit, S.; de Pauw, B.; Berghmans, F. A novel fast phase correlation algorithm for peak wavelength detection of fiber Bragg grating sensors. Chan, C.C. In this approach, the grating is divided into short periodic segments, each characterized by a transfer-matrix based on the coupled-mode theory [28]. Buffered Fourier domain mode locking: Unidirectional swept laser sources for optical coherence tomography imaging at 370,000 lines/s. Figure 13 shows for each of the three FBG sensors the evolution of the SNR levels obtained with the four demodulation algorithms together with the evolution of maximum reflectivity.

Once optimized, these monolithic cavities do not need realignment during the life of the device, removing any cleaning and degradation of fiber surface from the maintenance schedule of the laser. Furthermore, chains of serially-connected FBGs can be straightforwardly multiplexed to enable quasi-distributed measurements. 0000001211 00000 n Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors for Harsh Environments. where B , given as. Overall, the results are in good agreement with the simulated SNR levels in Figure 3. T 0 By tracking the changes occurring in the reflection spectrum, the strain distribution can be retrieved. D Many functions like reflection and filtering can be performed by this device in The refractive index of the photosensitive fiber changes according to the intensity of light that it is exposed to. Conversely, a multiplexer can be achieved by cascading multiple add sections of the OADM.

Later work showed that the increase in Bragg wavelength began once an initial type I grating had reached peak reflectivity and begun to weaken. Gafsi, R.; El-Sherif, M. Analysis of Induced-Birefringence Effects on Fiber Bragg Gratings. F The FBGs are glued to the surface of a steel plate (Plate A in Figure 9a) with dimensions of 21 cm 19 cm 0.1 cm.

Response of an embedded fiber Bragg grating to thermal and mechanical loading in a composite laminate. 0000004855 00000 n The MD is taken as the reference. A third quantity can be varied to help with side-lobe suppression. WebThere are a number of parameters on which the spectra of FBG has shown dependency such as change in refractive index, bending of fiber , grating period, mode excitation conditions, temperature and fiber Bragg grating length [9,10,11,12]. Menendez, J.M. The spectral responses of metal-coated fiber Bragg gratings controlled by in-fiber diode laser light were first demonstrated. It is worth noticing that, in this procedure, no sensor was adopted to measure the applied transverse load. {\displaystyle \epsilon } Wang, Y.; Chen, N.; Yun, B.; Wang, Z.; Lu, C.; Cui, Y. The CD and FPC techniques allow one to achieve the highest values of SNR. 0000021536 00000 n [19] These types of gratings can be reconfigurable through special packaging and system design. FBG sensors use the so-called Bragg condition, according to which the Bragg wavelength B of the light reflected by the grating obeys the following law: The impacts of FBG spectral deformation on the interrogation performance has been investigated a few times. Since no additional distortion occurs during the vibration of the spectra, the type of distortion can be preliminary estimated using the following two metrics: Once the FWHM and UNB indices have been computed, a parallel computational process begins. It is a pure peak detection algorithm in the sense that it does not take into account the shape of the spectrum. This grating exhibited a negative change in the mean index of the fiber and was termed type IIA. S More particularly, the probability that this algorithm fails at retrieving the actual wavelength shifts increases for values of FWHM > 1.43nm. WebThe DGM-1 is designed specifically for precision positioning of diffraction gratings. Finally, Section 5 contains our concluding remarks.
