e The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the 0000005884 00000 n As mentioned in the Introduction, when broadband light encounters a FBG sensor, part of its spectrum at a specific wavelength is reflected. ( In that case, however, the centroid (CD) was the only algorithm used to process the acquired deformed spectra and to calculate the dynamic average strain. WebBragg gratings in optical fibers in multimode propagation are investigated theoretically by using the coupled-mode theory and considering two modes coupling. CC and FPC perform better than MD and CD. The MD is taken as the reference. Three FBGs (FBG1, FBG2, FBG3) with Bragg wavelengths 1529.62 nm (FBG1), 1539.55 nm (FBG2) and 1559.41 nm (FBG3) are used. The algorithms that we have selected are the maximum detection (MD) algorithm, the centroid detection (CD) algorithm, the cross-correlation (CC) algorithm and the fast phase-correlation (FPC) technique.

WebThe Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor consists of distributed Bragg reflectors in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelength light and transmits all others, as 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. 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]. Characterization of dynamic strain measurement using reflection spectrum from a fiber Bragg grating. An efficient method to minimize these unwanted sidelobes is to increase gradually the coupling coefficient into the grating entrance, and decrease it gradually until the grating end. 0000004506 00000 n The CFBG has the fundamental Bragg resonance at 1,570 nm and a bandwidth of 20 nm at 3 dB. 0000021559 00000 n This means that fiber Bragg gratings can be used as sensing elements in optical fiber sensors. The variation of the FWHM and UNB indices of each sensor as a function of the load case is reported in Figure 11. An interrogation circuit of AFBS is significantly simplified in comparison with conventional interrogators and consists of a broadband optical source, an optical filter with a predefined linear inclined frequency response, and a photodetector.[22][23]. In-fiber Bragg grating sensors. Sensors. B They include recent developments in multiphoton excitation using femtosecond pulses where the short timescales (commensurate on a timescale similar to local relaxation times) offer unprecedented spatial localization of the induced change. [30][31], Recently the development of high power fiber lasers has generated a new set of applications for fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), operating at power levels that were previously thought impossible. Find support for a specific problem in the support section of our website. Some of these algorithms simply detect shifts of the Bragg wavelength, while other techniques also take into account the shape of the reflection spectrum. 12: 24258-24277. Rao, Y.J. Effects of distributed birefringence on fiber Bragg grating under non-uniform transverse load. {\displaystyle P_{B}(\lambda )} ; Fujii, Y.; Johnsen, D.C.; Kawasaki, B.S. e The optical grating in an echelle spectrograph has angled facets designed to shift the intensity envelope of dispersed light to high spectral orders. The FPC can give SNR levels up to 30 dB higher than the CC. 0000002972 00000 n In this paper, we investigate modification of transmission spectra of long-period fiber grating structures with an acoustic shock front propagating along the fiber. reflectivity, bandwidth, and sidelobes intensity for uniform and apodized (Gaussian, hyperbolic tangent, apod1, sine, and raised \ A fiber or waveguide Bragg grating is a one-dimensional optical device produced by periodic variation of the refractive index in the fiber core or the waveguide, reported a 33-fs Yb fiber laser using a prism-grating sequence to reduce GDD and TOD inside the cavity [5]. These gratings are called long-period fiber grating. Ben De Pauw helped in designing the experiments and revising the paper. [26] The photosensitive fiber is translated by an interferometrically controlled airbearing borne carriage. Determination of the type IA gratings' temperature coefficient showed that it was lower than a standard grating written under similar conditions. The refractive index profile of the grating may be modified to add other features, such as a linear variation in the grating period, called a chirp. @-cT11- The authors appreciate the support received from the Flemish Agency for Innovation by Science and Technology (IWT) for the SBOproject grants, 120024 (SSC) and 110070 (eSHMwith AM). n M For this reason, it was labeled as a regenerated grating. A 5 mm-long grating with B = 1552.5 nm was inscribed in the two-core fiber with the well-established phase mask technique. articles published under an open access Creative Common CC BY license, any part of the article may be reused without , given as. Photosensitivity in optical fiber waveguides: Application to reflection filter fabrication. In order to introduce distortion, we applied a non-uniform transverse load to the gratings by means of a second smaller plate bolted on top of the sensors. Figure 12 shows the experimental SNR levels obtained by the different demodulation algorithms. Particularly, for C2 > 5 106 (Scenarios 1101 and 201300), the FPC accuracy is always better (i.e., lower) than the CD. Assuming a grating of length L subdivided into m periodic segments, the transfer matrix formulation can be computed as: The procedure adopted to process the spectra corresponding with each simulated scenario is schematically illustrated in Figure 2. The plate is clamped along one of its shorter edges and attached to a shaker at the opposite edge. Furthermore, chains of serially-connected FBGs can be straightforwardly multiplexed to enable quasi-distributed measurements. Strain Measurements of Composite Laminates with Embedded Fibre Bragg Gratings: Criticism and Opportunities for Research. By tracking the changes occurring in the reflection spectrum, the strain distribution can be retrieved. In addition, the CD performance can considerably change when a different number of points Q is used to compute the centroid of the reflection spectrum.

The CD and CC algorithms guarantee almost the same minimum achievable SNR level, which is slightly above 11.5 dB. Compared to other methods, the MD algorithm is more sensitive to noise and provides lower levels of accuracy and precision [12,14]. The second process deals with the estimation of the wavelength shifts via the different demodulation algorithm presented in Section 2. where Figure 5 shows 4 channels, depicted as 4 colours, impinging onto a FBG via an optical circulator. The peak locking effect [12], for instance, depends on the vibration amplitude (i.e., wavelength shift) once the wavelength resolution is fixed. is the fraction of power in the core. Highly non-uniform load conditions worked better for our purposes, because they induced more spectral distortion. A grating possessing a chirp has the property of adding dispersionnamely, different wavelengths reflected from the grating will be subject to different delays. This is in accordance with the simulations (Figure 3; Scenarios 101200 in Figure 4) and is due to the limited values of FWHM, UNB and wavelength shift (max = 4.75 pm) achieved in experiments. Specifically, fiber Bragg gratings are finding uses in instrumentation applications such as seismology,[29] pressure sensors for extremely harsh environments, and as downhole sensors in oil and gas wells for measurement of the effects of external pressure, temperature, seismic vibrations and inline flow measurement. The magnetic fluid nanoparticles were attached on the The different methods of creating these fringes have a significant effect on physical attributes of the produced grating, particularly the temperature response and ability to withstand elevated temperatures. WebA wavelength resolution of 2 pm is achieved for both methods. Mass production is in particular facilitating applications in smart structures utilizing large numbers (3000) of embedded fiber Bragg gratings along a single length of fiber. Zhang, X.; Max, J.J.; Jiang, X.; Yu, L.; Kassi, H. Experimental investigation on optical spectral deformation of embedded FBG sensors. Today, FBG sensors are adopted for probing a variety of measurands, such as strain, temperature, pressure, erosion and even magnetic fields [3,4]. Based on the couple-mode theory and the optical transfer matrix (T-matrix) formulation, we first show that it is feasible n 2. Figure 2. If this strain field is uniform, then the FBG reflection spectrum only shifts in the amount proportional to the applied strain (assuming isothermal conditions). [Google Scholar] In fact, in the simulation, a longitudinal strain function is assumed, while in the measurements, a transverse load is applied. These are the reflectivity, the bandwidth, and the side-lobe strength. Optik 2020, 223, 165557. Complex grating profiles can be manufactured by exposing a large number of small, partially overlapping gratings in sequence. 2 B Recent work has shown that there exists a regeneration regime beyond diffusion where gratings can be made to operate at temperatures in excess of 1,295C, outperforming even type II femtosecond gratings. ; Jin, W.; Wang, D.N. {\displaystyle \delta n_{0}} These advantages led to the introduction of FBG sensors in many applications [5,6]. In particular, according to our experience, the MD is very sensitive to both the wavelength bandwidth and the number of points used for sub-wavelength interpolation. g Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly D 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. Originally, the manufacture of the photosensitive optical fiber and the 'writing' of the fiber Bragg grating were done separately. [16][17][18], Phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings (PS-FBGs) are an important class of gratings structures which have interesting applications in optical communications and sensing due to their special filtering characteristics.

This wavelength is called the Bragg wavelength B, which depends on the effective index neff of the fiber and on the grating period . Wang, Y.; Chen, N.; Yun, B.; Wang, Z.; Lu, C.; Cui, Y. The peak of the spectrum at 976 nm is related to the unabsorbed pump light. Three wavelength windows of a bandwidth of 7 nm are then applied to the recorded data. To compare the performance of the four demodulation algorithms for several experimental conditions corresponding to different FWHM and UNB values, we designed with the setup described in Figure 9a. Based on the refractive index measurements, the final core/clad ratio is determined and adjusted to the target MFD. The main difference of this method lies in the interaction mechanisms between infrared laser radiation and dielectric material - multiphoton absorption and tunnel ionization. The different methods of creating these fringes have a significant effect on physical attributes of the produced grating, particularly the temperature response and ability to withstand elevated temperatures. {\displaystyle \eta } 0000004803 00000 n No special The red crosses indicate scenarios for which the SNRMD of Figure 3 is negative.

WebFiber Grating Spectra Turan Erdogan, Member, IEEE (Invited Paper) Abstract In this paper, we describe the spectral charac-teristics that can be achieved in ber reection (Bragg) Formation of Bragg gratings in optical fibers by a transverse folographic method. {\displaystyle \epsilon } For each simulation, we evaluate the amount and type of distortion using two indices: the full width at half maximum (FWHM) and the unbalance (UNB). This is achieved by creating a periodic variation in the refractive index of the fiber core, which generates a wavelength-specific dielectric mirror. Please note that many of the page functionalities won't work as expected without javascript enabled. Once the SNR values are stored, the tightness of the bolt is manually increased, and a new transverse load case corresponding to spectra with different FWHM and UNB is generated. is the coefficient of temperature, which is made up of the thermal expansion coefficient of the optical fiber, Disclaimer/Publishers Note: The statements, opinions and data contained in all publications are solely To simulate the desired dynamic behavior of distorted FBG spectra, we adopted the transfer-matrix method. {\displaystyle n_{e}} n showed the existence of another type of grating with similar thermal stability properties to the type II grating. The performance of the algorithms was evaluated in terms of accuracy and SNR. The SNRCD is higher than the SNRMD in 90.3% of the cases. [6][7], These are gratings that form as the negative part of the induced index change overtakes the positive part. A, 14, pp. Our results show that: The maximum detection algorithm is the most sensitive to distortion. Temperature Response Test. This method allows for quick and easy changes to the Bragg wavelength, which is directly related to the interference period and a function of the incident angle of the laser light. .[28]. Figures 5, 6, 78 show the accuracy of the four algorithms as a function of the FWHM and UNB indices and the simulated scenarios. For this reason, it is also called modal index. 0000005987 00000 n Typically, the refractive index profile can be uniform or apodized, and the refractive index offset is positive or zero. {\displaystyle \Lambda } The amplitude of the excitation plays an important role in terms of the SNR performances of the different analyzed algorithms. 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. Resolution of 2 pm has been achieved in the spectra measured by tuning. The CC algorithm performs better than the FPC, with SNR values from 1.4 to 9.8 dB higher. We show the inline selection of transmission or reflection spectrum of one of two fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) with different Bragg wavelengths by incorporating a polarization-diversity loop without Expand 2 on Optical Fiber Filter Allowing Inline Switching Between Transmission and Reflection Spectra in Two Short-Period Fiber Gratings) W.

Statistically speaking, however, the experimental results are able to confirm the trends identified by the simulations. 0000002862 00000 n and the grating strength, 131818. All grating parameters are accessible in the control software, and it is therefore possible to manufacture arbitrary gratings structures without any changes in the hardware. Lamberti, A.; Vanlanduit, S.; de Pauw, B.; Berghmans, F. A novel fast phase correlation algorithm for peak wavelength detection of fiber Bragg grating sensors. Moreover, the noise levels used to corrupt the simulated FBG spectra are not selected to exactly represent the noise incorporated in the measurements. WebA stable triple-wavelength semiconductor optical amplifier ring-cavity laser with two seed DFB lasers and a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. An image of such a splice is shown, showing the shaped cladding of the doped double-clad fiber. The FPC and the CD have SNR levels higher than the CC when the vibration amplitude increases (scenarios from 1 to 100 and from 201 to 300). D To validate the simulated results obtained in Section 3, we carried out a performance analysis on the basis of experimental data. 0000016654 00000 n There are six common structures for FBGs;[14], The first complex grating was made by J.

T 0000019232 00000 n A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. WebA wavelength resolution of 2 pm is achieved for both methods. In this interval, the C2 coefficient is minimum (Figure 1b), as well as the amplitude of the design wavelength shift (D = 7.02 pm). Longer periods can be used to achieve much broader responses than are possible with a standard FBG. 0000005089 00000 n The levels of SNRCC SNRMD and SNRFPCSNRMD in Figure 12 are very similar to those reported in Figure 3 for FWHM < 1.41 nm and UNB < 1.09 nm. The optimal grating length and index modulation to obtain maximum reflectivity and minimum sidelobes were determined, as needed for Eight Bragg wavelengths are 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. To suppress the spectral broadening produced by SPM and FWM, we first propose to utilize a phase-shifted (PS)-LPFG to filter the broadened spectrum and apply it Okabe, Y.; Yashiro, S.; Kosaka, T.; Takeda, N.
