Evanescent Field Sensing, Long Period Gratings, Structured Fibers
Fiber Bragg gratings with grating planes inclined relative to the fiber cross section can be used to excite a large number
of cladding modes in a few tens of nm of spectral bandwidth. Each of these modes responds differentially to various
perturbations, thereby enabling many sensing modalities from a single sensor design. In particular, we show here that the
polarization state of the input core mode light further enhances the sensing options and show that polarization dependent
loss (PDL) can be used to increase the sensitivity of refractometric and surface plasmon resonance sensors.

We have fabricated chiral fiber long-period gratings (CLPGs) for radiation sensing by co-twisting two standard
optical fibers or twisting a single custom optical fibers with nonconcentric core as the fibers pass though a miniature
oven. The wavelength shift of transmission dips in the CLPGs have proven to be much more sensitive to ionizing
radiation than are fiber Bragg gratings. The radiation sensitivity of these CLPGs was investigated in a wide variety
of twisted fibers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Technological Trend Analysis by Henschel et al.7. Because chiral
fiber gratings do not rely on glass photosensitivity, as is the case for fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), chiral radiation
sensors can be fabricated from a range of glass combinations selected strictly for their sensitivities to radiation in
different circumstances. The fiber may also be made of glass selected to be radiation insensitive so that the fiber can
be used to sense temperature in high-radiation environments. Radiation-induced shifts of up to 10 nm are observed
in transmission dips of CLPGs for doses of 100 kGy of Co-60 gamma radiation. With such high sensitivity, these
gratings can be used as radiation sensors for doses below 10 Gy. The wavelength shift was found to depend upon the
radiation dose rate. This dependence is found to vary with glass composition. This opens up the possibility of using
two CLPGs to simultaneously measure both the dose and rate of radiation.

Optical fibers are ideal for environmental sensing applications because of their ability to transmit optical signals to
and from the sensing region without the use of free-space optics. By accessing the evanescent field, the fiber itself can
act as the sensing element and long interaction lengths can be achieved. Microstructured optical fibers are particularly
suited to such applications as the species of interest can occupy the air spaces within the fiber.
Here we use a suspended nanowire design that provides the high evanescent overlap of a nanowire with the long
interaction length and robustness of a conventional fiber. The fluorescence-detection approach proposed in this paper is
attractive because of its simplicity. When one end of the fiber is dipped into the sample, capillary forces draw the liquid
into the voids within the fiber. The evanescent field of the pump light excites the fluorescent labels and a portion of the
fluorescence is captured by the fiber core and propagates to the fiber tips.
The aim of this work is to improve the sensing architecture to increase the sensitivity of the sensor, and to examine
the primary factors such as the background glass fluorescence currently restricting the detection limit in this type of
sensor. This work is focused on biological detection in liquid samples using Quantum dots, but through careful selection
of the fluorescent dye this can be extended to a large number of alternative applications. Using this system we are able to
detect quantum dot concentrations as low as 10 pM.

We present thermally regnenerated fiber Bragg grating in air-hole microstructured fibers for high temperature hydrostatic
pressure sensing application. Saturated type I gratings were inscribed in hydrogen-loaded two-hole optical fibers using
248-nm KrF laser, and regenerated during annealing at 800ºC. The fiber Bragg grating resonance wavelength shift and
peak splits were studied as a function of external hydrostatic pressure from 15 psi to 2400 psi. The grating pressure
sensor shows stable and reproducible operation up to 800ºC. This paper demonstrates a multiplexible pressure sensor
network technology for high temperature harsh environment using a single fiber feedthrough.

Fiber grating sensors may be used to monitor high-speed events that include catastrophic failure of structures,
ultrasonic testing and detonations. This paper provides insights into the utility of fiber grating sensors to measure
structural changes under extreme conditions. An emphasis is placed on situations where there is a structural
discontinuity. Embedded chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) sensors can track the very high-speed progress of
detonation waves (6-9 km/sec) inside energetic materials. This paper discusses diagnostic instrumentation and
analysis techniques used to measure these high-speed events.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI, also called intracranial injury) is a high potential threat to our soldiers. A helmet structural
health monitoring system can be effectively used to study the effects of ballistic/blast events on the helmet and human
skull to prevent soldiers from TBI. However, one of the biggest challenges lies in that the pressure sensor installed inside
the helmet system must be fast enough to capture the blast wave during the transient period. In this paper, an ultrafast
optical fiber sensor is presented to measure the blast signal. The sensor is based on a Fabry-Pérot (FP) interferometeric
principle. An FP cavity is built between the endface of an etched optical fiber tip and the silica thin diaphragm attached
on the end of a multimode optical fiber. The sensor is small enough to be installed in different locations of a helmet to
measure blast pressure simultaneously. Several groups of tests regarding multi-layer blast events were conducted to
evaluate the sensors' performance. The sensors were mounted in different segments of a shock tube side by side with the
reference sensors, to measure a rapidly increasing pressure. The segments of the shock tube were filled with different
media. The results demonstrated that our sensors' responses agreed well with those from the electrical reference sensors.
In addition, the home-made shock tube could provide a good resource to study the propagation of blast event in different
media.

Various spectral-encoded fiber optic sensor concepts and advanced system solutions for application in energy facility
monitoring have been investigated. The technological maturity, high performance and reliability of multiplexed fiber
Bragg grating (FBG) sensor arrays and networks for the measurement of temperature, dynamic strain, air flow, and
magnetic field distributions in electric power generators increasing their efficiency will be demonstrated by selected
examples of field testing under harsh environmental conditions. For high-temperature combustion monitoring in gas
turbines, beside silica FBGs with enhanced temperature stability also sapphire FBGs and Fabry-Perot sensors have been
tested and evaluated as well as fiber-based black-body thermal radiation sensors. Finally, the potential of FBG sensors
for application in cryo-energetic facilities such as super-conductive high-power motors and experimental nuclear fusion
reactors will be discussed.

The idea of fabricating fiber Bragg gratings already during the drawing of a fiber dates back almost 20 years. The
application of a transverse holographic writing method on a draw tower offers a promising solution for a highly effective
Bragg grating production. Because of the high technology requirements it took more than 10 years to develop the method
into a reliable process. During the last five years the improvements in the technical development enables cost effective
industrial production of draw tower gratings (1DTG®). In this paper we report about new possibilities of the improved
process with respect to the grating type (type I gratings, type II gratings), the coating type (2ORMOCER®, metals) and
the fiber type and diameter (125μm, 80μm and below). Furthermore, we present examples for the application of draw
tower fiber Bragg gratings in sensing technologies for medical applications.

The large multiplexing number of FBGs exposes a requirement for the effective and repeatable fabrication method. In
this paper we report the development of an automatic FBG fabrication system, which meets the requirement of mass
production. There are four major functional parts in the system: fiber feeding system, CO2 laser coating removal system,
FBG writing system and fiber collecting system. The fiber feeding system uses motors and gears to accurately move an
optical fiber to where the FBGs will be made. The coating removal system is based on the heat effect of a CO2 laser,
which will decompose and evaporate the selected coating of the optical fiber. The FBG writing system is based on the
UV photosensitivity of the fiber. A phase-mask is placed between the UV light and the optical fiber to produce periodic
interference pattern, which further modulates the refractive index along the fiber periodically. The fiber collecting
system is driven by a linear motor and the fiber can be wound around a spool tightly and smoothly at a moderate speed.
The whole FBG fabrication system is controlled and synchronized by a computer via some interface circuits and a
Graphical User Interface (GUI). With this system, it takes 48 seconds to fabricate one FBG, and up to 500 FBGs can be
made continuously, which is limited by the leakage of the gas inside the excimer laser. This mass production line not
only improves the fabrication efficiency but also contributes to the multiplexing capability by reducing the splicing loss.

A robust embeddable Fiber Bragg Grating based sensing cable has been developed by Monitor Optics Systems. This
sensor sees an array of Bragg Gratings encapsulated in a pultruded Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer rod. The sensors are
easy to install and more robust than telecom standard optical fibers and can be used in a number of different applications.
An example is illustrated where the sensors have been used to instrument a section of a main highway in Australia to
measure ground strains in the road pavement as part of a pavement monitoring system. The monitoring system is being
used to monitor the effects of mining induced subsidence on the road as the main component of an early warning safety
system. The monitoring system has been continuously expanded over the last 3 years in accordance with the
advancement of the mining activity and now fields over 800 Fiber Bragg Gratings. The system proved to be reliable and
accurate and is now the primary tool for alarm triggering and response. The sensing cables are now being used to
monitor instability in embankments.

A discrete liquid level sensor based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) that is suitable for liquid level monitoring is proposed.
FBG (fiber Bragg grating) is embedded in a cantilever beam which is made of carbon fiber composite. And an iron sheet
is bonded with the end of cantilever beam. For the float, a magnet is bonded with the float. When the liquid level rises or
fall, the float will move up or down. The cantilever beam will bend downward or upward, it will induce strain on the
FBG. Therefore, the Bragg wavelength of FBG will shift. An extra reference grating was utilized for temperature
compensation.

Fiber laser strain sensors achieve fundamentally limited strain resolution, resulting in their ability to resolve
axial fiber displacements at the sub-femtometer level. This ultra-high resolution enables the development of
miniaturized sensors capable of achieving the performance necessary for high resolution marine sensing. The
reduction in size also facilitates an increased operating bandwidth for broadband acoustic transducers.
The last decade has seen considerable development of this technology, moving it from a laboratory curiosity to
deployable demonstrations. Significant advances have been made in understanding the fundamental properties
of erbium fiber laser strain sensors as well as laser multiplexing, signal demodulation and sensor design.
This talk will describe the basic properties of fiber laser strain sensors and show how the technical challenges
involved in developing deployable, multiplexed arrays of miniature transducers have been overcome. In particular
the development of miniature wideband hydrophones, low power DC magnetometers with sub-nT resolution and
miniature acoustic vector sensors will be described. Finally, a view towards potential future applications of this
technology will be given.

The management of threats such as pandemics and explosives, and of health and the environment requires the rapid
deployment of highly sensitive detection tools. Sensors based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) allow rapid, labelfree,
highly sensitive detection, and indeed this phenomenon underpins the only label-free optical biosensing technology
that is available commercially. In these sensors, the existence of surface plasmons is inferred indirectly from absorption
features that correspond to the coupling of light to the surface plasmon. Although SPR is not intrinsically a radiative
process, under certain conditions the surface plasmon can itself couple to the local photon states, and emit light as first
described byKretschmann. Here we show that by collecting and characterising this re-emitted light, it is possible to
realise new SPR sensing architectures that are more compact, versatile and robust than existing approaches. This
approach addresses existing practical limitations associated with current SPR technologies, including bulk, cost and
calibration. It is applicable to a range of SPR geometries, including optical fibres, planar waveguides and prism
configurations, and is in principle capable of detecting multiple analytes simultaneously. Moreover, this technique allows
to combine SPR sensing and fluorescence sensing into a single platform which has never been demonstrated before and
consequently use these two methods for a more reliable diagnostic. As an example, this approach has been used to
demonstrate the rapid detection of the seasonal influenza virus.

Novel Micro-optic Devices and Sensing Applications
Researchers have long sought to improve collection efficiencies in scattered-light sensing applications. Herein, we
demonstrate efficient collection of Raman scattered light from gaseous samples. This enables the accurate, real-time,
simultaneous measurement of otherwise difficult to distinguish molecular gasses or hydrocarbons. Hollow capillary
waveguides, lined with a metal and dielectric over-coating, have often been used to deliver IR laser light to a target. We
show that these waveguides can be used as both a sample holder for Raman gasses and as a laser-pumped optical cell
which can collect Raman scattered light from these gasses. We extend existing low mode-order capillary waveguide
analysis to treat higher order modes. This extension allows a robust computer simulation to accurately predict the
spontaneous Raman scattering power that can be collected by the waveguide. We verify our new theoretical models
with experimental measurements of Raman signals from a nitrogen filled waveguide. We demonstrate a cutback
experiment which verifies our new theoretical predictions of the variation of scattering collection efficiency with guide
dimensions. The prediction accuracy of our simulations allows us to design spectrometers and detectors to maximize
Raman-light throughput in a high-sensitivity gas detection system.

Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor for Position Determination is a novel position sensor and can be used as a monitoring
system in communication main of long distances. Single fiber is employed as the sensor in the system to pick up the
disturbances in the environment. The principle of the system is that for a disturbance signal applied at a particular
position along the fiber, the response, in the frequency domain, presents a series of periodic maxima and minima (or
nulls). These minima depend on the position of the disturbance along a fiber. An intelligent, reliable and real-time signal
processing method is needed in such a system to determine the position of disturbance. It is not enough to process the
signal of the system just using FFT (fast Fourier transform) algorithm. By using power spectral estimation and wavelet
transforming as the method of signal processing, the position of a random disturbance is successfully determined.

Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has proven to be very useful in diagnosis of narrowed coronary arteries. It is a technique
that is used in coronary catheterization to measure blood pressure difference across a coronary artery stenosis in maximal
flow. In-vivo blood pressure measurement is critical in FFR diagnosis. This paper presents a novel miniature all-optical
fiber blood pressure sensor. It is based on Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometry principle. The FP cavity was fabricated by
directly wet etching the fiber tip. Then, a diaphragm with well-controlled thickness was bonded to the end face of the
fiber using the thermal bonding technique. Finally, the sensor was packaged with a bio-compatible and flexible coil for
animal tests. A 25-50 kg Yorkshire swine model was introduced as the animal test target. The left anterior descending
coronary artery (LAD) was exposed, and beyond the takeoff of the largest diagonal branch, a 3.0 mm vascular occluder
was secured. Firstly, standard invasive manometry was used to obtain the blood pressure as baseline. Next, a guiding
catheter was introduced into the ostium of the left main coronary artery, and the miniature blood pressure sensor was
advanced into the LAD at a point beyond the vascular occlude. The blood pressure beyond the vascular occlude was
recorded. The sensor successfully recorded the blood pressure at both near-end and far-end of the vascular occluder.

A non-metallic interferometric optical fiber ultrasonic wideband sensor is presented for optoacoustic imaging
applications. The ultrasonic sensitivity of intrinsic fiber optic interferometric sensors depends strongly of the material
which is composed of. We compare experimentally the acoustic sensitivity of two fiber optic sensors based on singlemode
silica optical fiber and multimode graded-index perfluorinated polymer optical fiber, respectively. Both sensors are
designed for detection of optoacoustic wave sources with frequencies in the range from 100 kHz to 5 MHz. These results
are also compared with a PVDF ultra wideband sensor. We evaluated detection of real world optoacoustic signals,
generated from an optically absorbing object embedded in a tissue mimicking phantom, between our silica optical fiber
sensor and an array of piezoelectric transducers. Reconstructed two dimensional acoustic images of the phantom are
presented and compared with images obtained with the Laser Optoacoustic Imaging System, LOIS-64B, demonstrating
the feasibility of our fiber optic sensor as a wideband ultrasonic sensor.

Dendrometers, dendrographs and dry weight measurements have been successfully used for measurements of plant
growth. These sensors have been used with Linear Variable Differential Transformer (LVDT) based data logging
systems for continuous monitoring. In this paper the preliminary results for a prototype technique is presented as a proof
of concept for the continuous monitoring of plant growth using an approach based on fiber-optic interferrometric
sensing. The advantage of this sensing technique over the others is the ability to measure and analyze with very high
sensitivities such as micron changes in dimensions allowing measurements over short time spans. The sensor was
mounted on a Dracaena Sanderiana (Lucky Bamboo) shoot and the change in shoot length dimensions resulted in
changes in the output signal display which is in the form of interferrometric fringes. The data acquisition is performed
over a long duration using labVIEW based data logging. Filtered output of the data has been presented where an attempt
has been made to relate the fringes to length changes. The sensing system is nondestructive and noninvasive and has
been targeted to respond to changes in stem length due to changes in plant growth parameters. The objective is to
provide a measurement system to do research in optimizing plant growth in greatly reduced time spans. This form of
sensing application is also applicable for monitoring the growth of plants growing at much slower rates.

Currently, fiber optic sensors are covering a great part of the automobile field, due to their precision, practicality and
viability. At present, there are many theoretical and practical developments of fiber optic sensors focused towards the
monitoring of thermal, torque and deformity variables, among other ones that are present in transportation vehicles.
However, there is still a lot of exploration and investigation on this subject to be done, so that new analysis can be
recognized and, consequently, new applications too. This work explains through MAPLE software, the computational
analysis of the transverse electric and transverse magnetic modes generated in terms of Bessel functions, as a result of
the light propagation through a fiber optic with different settings, proper of the type of sensor analyzed. This research
exposes fundamental characters of measurement focused on the register of attributes of an object through. At the end,
exposures and comments are made about the results obtained in graphics, showing the relation with the physical
mathematical model described. The research for applications of this kind of technology is still scarce, for which it results
necessary to investigate new types of analysis that can make possible the expansion of the technique to other fields of
knowledge.

An optical fiber sensor was developed to control the cleaning efficiency of surfactants. Prior to the measurements, the
sensing part of the probe is covered with a uniform standardized soil layer (lipid multilayer), and a gold mirror is
deposited at the end of the optical fiber. For the lipid multilayer deposition on the fiber, Langmuir-Blodgett technique
was used and the progress of deposition was followed online by ultraviolet spectroscopy. The invention provides a
miniaturized Surface Plasmon Resonance dip-sensor for automated on-line testing that can replace the cost and time
consuming existing methods and develop a breakthrough in detergent testing in combining optical sensing, surface
chemistry and automated data acquisition. The sensor is to be used to evaluate detergency of different cleaning products
and also indicate how formulation, concentration, lipid nature and temperature affect the cleaning behavior of a
surfactant.
