T1 - Fiber optic bend and temperature sensing in femtosecond laser-structured POF T2 - OFS2012 - 22nd International conference on optical fiber sensors (Proceedings) N2 - We propose focused femtosecond laser irradiation to create stable and permanent scattering damage in large-core polymer optical fibers. Possible sensing applications using optical time domain reflectometry are discussed and presented. Experiments show that quasi-distributed fiber bend sensors and absolute temperature sensors can be realized by evaluating backscatter intensities.

T1 - Quasi-distributed measurement on femtosecond laser-induced scattering voids using incoherent OFDR and OTDR T2 - EWOFS 2013 - 5th European workshop on optical fibre sensors (Proceedings) N2 - We propose to use focused femtosecond laser pulses to create scattering damage in standard singlemode optical fibres as reference points for quasi-distributed sensing applications. Such sensor fibres are interrogated with incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR) technique and optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR). A performance comparison of both techniques with the clear advantage of the I-OFDR is presented as well as a quasi-distributed length change measurement application. Also dynamic measurement based on the I-OFDR technique is demonstrated on a femtosecond laser-induced sensor chain.

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.
