T1 - Simultaneous vibration and quasi-distributed strain measurement using incoherent OFDR and extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometers N2 - We present a measurement setup for combined quasi-distributed strain and dynamic point-wise vibration measurement using an incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR) setup in combination with extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometers (EFPIs). Several EFPIs can be multiplexed and at the same time the strain along their supply fibres can be measured in a quasi-distributed manner. The setup is characterised and a demonstration of its general performance is given.

T1 - Performance of digital incoherent OFDR and prospects for optical fiber sensing applications N2 - We propose a digital implementation of the incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR) technique for precise backscatter measurement and optical fiber sensing applications. Specific performance parameters of the I-OFDR are discussed and compared to an analog vector network analyzer-based I-OFDR system. Improved sensitivity, dynamic range and signal stability of the digital I-OFDR is presented and demonstrated by means of quasi-distributed length change measurement.

T1 - Integration of Cu-coated single-mode optical fiber into carbon/PEEK composite for distributed structural health monitoring based on Rayleigh backscatter reflectometry N2 - In this paper a technique for integrating copper coated silica optical fibers into AS-4/PEEK composite for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is presented. The integration steps are described in detail. X-ray and microscopic images indicate a successfully integrated optical fiber which does not seem to affect the fiber/matrix distribution around it. Optical backscatter reflectometry shows losses of approximately 2dBm-1 along the integrated parts of the optical fiber due to temperature induced shrinkage of the composite.

In this paper the influence of strain, temperature and humidity is investigated. The results show that MPOF LPGs are well suited for strain sensing. Further investigations have to be made to clarify the behaviour on temperature and humidity in more detail.

After preparation of the MPOF end-faces the samples were elongated with silica fibres. These samples were used to measure the influence of strain to the LPG wavelength which showed the viscoelastic nature of PMMA. We also measured the influence of temperature and humidity. The results show that MPOF LPGs are well suited for strain sensing. One MPOF LPG was stitched to a textile. Using this textile we measured a simulated respiratory motion.
