A1 - Krebber, Katerina T1 - Quasi-distributed fiber bend and temperature measurement in femtosecond laser-structured POF T2 - POF 2013 - 22nd International conference on plastic optical fibers (Proceedings) N2 - We propose to use focused femtosecond laser pulses to inscribe Scattering damage in the core of polymer optical fibers for interrogation as quasi-distributed sensor points by optical time domain reflectometry. Fiber bend measurement is demonstrated on off-center inscribed sensor points and absolute temperature measurement is presented by evaluation of the constant backscatter intensities from the inscribed structures relative to temperature-dependent Rayleigh Scattering. Application possibilities and limitations of this new approach are discussed.
