T1 - Smart geosynthetics for structural health monitoring using fully distributed fiber optic sensors N2 - We report on the development of a complete system for structural health monitaring of large-scale geotechnical structures. The system uses Brillouin frequency domain analysis (BOFDA) for distributed measurement of strain and temperature along glass optical fibers (GOFs) by determining the so-called Brillouin frequency shift (BFS). ln a number of research activities we managed to optimize the BOFDA measurement setup regarding the spatial resolution and the accuracy of the measured quantities. Moreover, we realized a simultaneaus measurement of strain and temperature by using nonzero dispersion-shifted fibers (NZDSFs) with several multiple Brillouin scattering resonances. ln cooperation with our German and ltalian industry partners we finally succeeded in fabricating low-attenuation smart geosynthetics as a sensor component of a fully distributed Brillouin-based fiber optic monitaring system.

T1 - Production and characterization of polycarbonate microstructured polymer optical fiber bragg grating sensor N2 - We present the fabrication and characterization of a polycarbonate (PC) microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) and the writing of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) in it to obtain a polymer optical FBG sen-sor. The manufacturing process of the PC mPOF consists of multiple consecutive stages, such as casting of pol-ymer granulates into a solid rod, machining and drilling of a 3-ring hexagonal lattice of holes into it, and finally drawing into fiber. We demonstrate that the obtained PC mPOF is photosensitive and FBGs can be conveniently inscribed into it, thereby enabling FBG-based temperature and strain sensing. The PC optical fibers are for some applications an attractive alternative to conventional materials used in POF fabrication, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). In general, PC can be used at temperature up to 120 °C and breaks at considerably higher strains than PMMA.

T1 - On-line monitoring of gamma irradiated perfluorinated polymer optical fiber N2 - In this paper, we present the first results regarding the on-line monitoring of gamma-ray exposure effects on a commercial multi-mode perfluorinated polymer optical fiber (PF-POF), type GigaPOF-50SR from Chromis Fiberoptics. Our focus was to evaluate on-line the radiation induced attenuation (RIA) over a wide spectral range (320 nm – 1700 nm), in order to assess the fiber’s radiation hardness and its possible use in radiation detection. An Ocean Optics QE65000 high sensitivity spectrometer and a StellarNet near-IR spectrometer were used to cover the spectral ranges 200 nm – 1μm and 900 nm – 1.6 μm, respectively. Electron paramagnetic resonance was used to monitor the recovery of the irradiation induced centers at room temperature. The study indicated that the optical fiber can be used as radiation monitor at low dose rates by measuring the attenuation in the UV, while higher dose rates irradiation can be observed by RIA monitoring at specific wavelengths in the visible spectral range.

We demonstrate the photosensitivity of a dopant-free PC fiber by grating inscription using a UV laser. We further show that PC Bragg gratings can be extended up to at least 3% without affecting the initial functionality of the micro-structured fiber. The response of PC FBGs to temperature up to 125°C is also investigated. Polycarbonate has good mechanical properties and its high temperatureresistance might extend the range of application of polymeric FBGs.

Specifically, the proposed method is shown to improve the detection of small amplitude, high frequency dynamic optical fiber strain as it occurs in acoustic emission sensing. The method is applicable provided that the dynamic fiber strain to be sensed is known to affect a longer section of sensing fiber in a spatially homogeneous way. It is shown that this knowledge can be used to extract more quantitative information from the measured C-OTDR signal by averaging signal components from the affected fiber section in a suitable and efficient way. The theoretical basis of the method is developed and supporting experimental results are presented.

T1 - Perfluorinated polymer optical fiber for gamma radiation monitoring N2 - The sensitivity of low-loss perfluorinated polymer optical fiber (PF-POF) to gamma radiation is investigated for on-line radiation monitoring purposes. The radiation-induced attenuation (RIA) of a commercial PF-POF based on Cytop material is measured in the visible spectral region. The fiber RIA shows strong wavelength dependence with rapid increase towards the blue side of the spectrum. The wide range of radiation sensitivities is available via careful selection of appropriate monitoring wavelength. The accessible sensitivities span from 1.6 ± 0.2 dBm-1/kGy measured at 750 nm to 18.3 ± 0.7 dBm-1/kGy measured at 420 nm. The fairly high radiation sensitivity as well as its wide tunability makes the fiber a promising candidate for a broad range of applications.

The directly obtained signal is treated as the in-phase component, and the KK receiver provides the quadrature component by Hilbert transform of the obtained signal, so that the optical phase can be retrieved by IQ demodulation. The working principle is well explained, and the obtained phase variance is theoretically analyzed. The experiment demonstrates the functionality of the sensor and validates the theoretical analysis.

T1 - Faseroptische Leckage-Ortung zum Nachweis von Undichtheiten in Bohrlochkomplettierungen N2 - Im Rahmen der Integritätsbewertung einer zementierten 13 3/8" Rohrtour einer Sole-Produktionsbohrung wurden erstmals 2018 zeitgleich faseroptische Temperaturmessungen (DTS, Distributed Temperature Sensing) und faseroptische Akustikmessungen (DAS, Distributed Acoustic Sensing) durchgeführt und ausgewertet. Dazu wurde die Bohrung zeitweise mit Stickstoff bespannt und wieder entlastet. Durch die Bespannung der Bohrung mit Stickstoff in Kombination mit dem Herunterdrücken des Stickstoff-Sole-Spiegels unter den Rohrschuh der 13 3/8" Rohrtour, konnte Stickstoff aus der Kavernenbohrung durch eine Leckagestelle in die Zementation übertreten und dort ein Stickstoff-Reservoir bilden. Bei der anschließenden Stickstoffentlastung erfolgte der Wiederanstieg des Stickstoff-Sole-Spiegels deutlich schneller als die Entleerung des in der Zementation angelegten Stickstoff-Reservoirs. Der dadurch entstandene Druckgradient hatte zur Folge, dass an der Leckagestelle der Stickstoff aus der Zementation in die aufsteigende Sole in Form von Bläschen eingetreten und dort aufgestiegen ist. Dieser Übertritt der Stickstoffbläschen war sowohl mit der Entstehung eines akustischen Geräusches als auch mit einer Temperaturänderung verbunden, welche mit der DAS- und DTS-Technik nachgewiesen werden konnten. Um die Ergebnisse bzgl. ihres physikalischen Hintergrundes zu überprüfen und basierend auf einer mathematisch-physikalischen Grundlage eine nachvollziehbare Interpretation der Messergebnisse zu ermöglichen, wurde ein numerisches Simulationsmodell der gekoppelten Festkörper- und Druckakustik für die Bohrung aufgebaut. Das Modell berücksichtigt die Geologie und die Komplettierung der Kavernenbohrung. Nach Identifikation der Schallquelle konnte mit dem Modell die Ausbreitung des Schalldrucks in der Bohrung erfolgreich nachgestellt werden. Um dieses Verfahren einer simultanen DAS-DTS-Messung in eine feldtaugliche Version zu überführen, läuft seit November 2019 ein breit angelegtes und vom BMWi gefördertes ZIM-Kooperationsprojekt zwischen der Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), der IAB Weimar gGmbH, der GESO GmbH & Co. Projekt KG, der DEEP.KBB GmbH sowie der Rembe Consulting PartG mbB. Durch die Messdatenkopplung und den Wegfall der bewegungsbedingten Nachteile einer Messsonde werden präzisere Ergebnisse zur Bewertung der Bohrlochintegrität erwartet. Das Ziel ist, mit Hilfe der noch zu entwickelnden einfachen und robusten Technik, quantitative Aussagen über die Zustände im verrohrten Bohrloch direkt am Messplatz treffen zu können, wobei ein Fokus auf Detektierung und Quantifizierung von Kleinstleckagen liegt. Im Rahmen dieses Forschungsprojektes kommt neben numerischen Berechnungen auch ein geplanter Bohrlochsimulator zum Einsatz, mit dem umfangreiche Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung der Grenzparameter und Detektionsschwellen durchgeführt werden sollen.

Its noise is however never been comprehensively studied to the best of our knowledge. The different detection noise sources in such a sensing system are thoroughly investigated. The impacts of thermal noise, shot noise and the beat between signal and the amplified spontaneous emission from a pre-amplifier have been theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. Due to the random nature of the φOTDR signal, the detection noise demonstrates distinct features at different fiber positions in a single measurement. The theoretical analysis and the experimental result explicitly affirm most of the fiber sections, and the difference at some positions may be explained by ambient noise.

The analysis on the overall phase error has been improved by considering the proportionality of the detection noise to the local optical power. The estimation accuracy is greatly improved by using the proposed theory, the probability density of the estimation accuracy over 99% is > 0.6, ∼39 times larger than the previously reported method. The phase unwrapping may malfunction due to the noisy signal, causing large phase errors. Point break detection algorithms are used to locate the incorrect phase unwrapping points, so the temporal evolution of the phase retrieved at each position can be divided into several sections with different offset. The phase unwrapping error is then suppressed by removing the offset.

The use of the geometric phase to extract strain makes it immune to polarisation diversity fading. This is because a polarisation mismatch between the interfering beams is not a hindrance to its measurement. The geometric phase is calculated using the amplitude of the beat signal and individual beam intensities without any need for phase unwrapping. It is measured per beat period and can be equated with the traditionally measured dynamic phase with appropriate scaling. The results show that the system based on the geometric phase successfully measures strain, free from polarisation mismatch fading and phase unwrapping errors, providing a completely novel solution to these problems.

In addition, an optimisation of the proposed setup in terms of its spatial resolution is also presented for the first time. The surface waves are generated by strong blasts of 25 kg of explosives at a dedicated test site. A 10 km dark fiber link in the vicinity of the test site connected to the test setup records the resulting strain signals. The spike-free and low-noise strain data thus obtained minimize post-processing requirements, making the setup a candidate for real-time seismic monitoring. An analysis of the dispersion characteristics of the generated surface waves is performed using a recently reported optimised seismic interferometric technique. Based on the dispersion characteristics, the shear wave velocities of the surface waves as a function of the depth profile of the Earth’s crust are determined using an optimised evolutionary algorithm.

The system employs a wavelength-scanning laser and an imbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer to acquire the reflection spectra and the phase of the detected light, respectively. Fading-free and low-frequency measurements are realized via the crosscorrelation of the reflection spectra. The discrete crosscorrelation is used to circumvent the nonlinear frequency sweeping of the laser. Based on the phase of the backscattered light, it is possible to quantify fast environmental variations. The whole system requires no hardware modification of the existing system and its functionality is experimentally validated. The proposed system has the potential to monitor ground motion/movement at very low frequency band like subsidence around mining areas and at high frequency band like earthquakes and vibrations induced by avalanches.

We can detect vibrations with the same or better SNR using this processing approach, only with a single step and fast calculation. Fig. 12 shows the comparison of the normalized measurement time for the gamma matrix method and the conventional method throughout the three experiments. The speed of processing using a gamma matrix is ~35%–50% faster compared to a conventional method in high frequency test (PZT), low frequency test (walking) and street monitoring test. The processing speed in low frequency test is normally a bit lower than the similar high frequency one, since we must use higher number of time frames. Also, in street test we have higher speed because we can select wider gauges.

By using one probe pulse as a reference in a system with two or more probe frequencies, we can remove unwanted low frequency noise that is originally caused by the laser source. Although LSFD is problematic issue, it is not the only source of low frequency noise. Change in temperature, humidity, physical surroundings, environment, etc., can result in such noises. The proposed method; however, is expected to highly suppresses all of these effects, regardless of their source, either in the time or frequency domain. For comparing reference and probe signals, there are sophisticated methods, rather than normal differentiation, available for use. Some of these methods have a close relationship with CPD methods and can further enhance the results. These methods can be further discussed in an independent research or future work. The proposed method is very helpful for increasing accuracy in passive and active seismic monitoring, reservoir monitoring, underwater monitoring, etc. It also helps using relatively simpler laser sources and make the whole system price-efficient, as well as processing data without lengthy compensation algorithms.

It is also the main factor limiting the performance of the phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometry (φOTDR). The low SNR at the fading points results in a large measurement error, severely affecting the reliability of civil infrastructure monitoring. The proposed method involves changing the pulse width during measurements to suppress the impact of fading. Experimental result shows that the number of fading points is greatly reduced by ∼ 96 % and the measurement error is reduced by more than 5 times. Unlike existing methods, this approach requires no hardware modifications, making it applicable to almost all current phase-based φOTDR systems. The versatility and effectiveness of this method make it an excellent candidate for infrastructure monitoring and related fields.

The sensor system is based on the digital incoherent optical frequency domain reflectometry (I-OFDR) for the detection of local strain events along a perfluorinated polymer optical fiber (PF-POF) used as a sensing fiber. For the best possible load transfer, the PF-POFs were integrated onto geosynthetics which pose a sensor carrier for the sensing fiber. By using elastic PF-POF instead of a standard glass fiber as a sensing fiber the strain range of geosynthetics-integrated fiber optic sensors could be extended up to 10 % in accordance with the end-user requirements.

T1 - Optical fiber defect detection using Brillouin optical time domain analyser N2 - A new technique for optical fiber defect detection using Brillouin distributed fiber optic sensor (DFOS) has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated in this paper. This technique is based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), which offers three wave interaction in single mode optical fiber (SMF -10 μm/125 μm acrylic coated fiber). The nonlinear effect of SBS is manipulated to locate the defect in optical fiber using distributed sensing technology. Various kind of defects may be present in optical fibers. This paper details a case study on observation of a defect, which manifests its presence in certain temperature values. The detail of defect detection through distributed fiber sensor using the SBS has been brought out. SBS is sensitive to temperature and strain. In order to study the effect of defect in distributed fiber sensor as function of temperature and strain, the distributed pre-strained and unstrained optical fiber is subjected to temperature variation and corresponding measurements are obtained with Brillouin optical time domain analyser (BOTDA). This technique enables the utilization of Brillouin parameters, such as decreased amplitude, frequency and increased linewidth in the defect region of the fiber length. The fiber defect location can be determined with spatial resolution accuracy of less than 50 cm of using BOTDA technique.

Adhesive is being used to bond the sensors with structures. There is no validated technique to test its performance. In this paper, we propose a Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analyzer (BOTDA) based methodology to detect temperature-induced adhesive bond failure below room temperature using distributed fiber optic sensor. The differential coefficient of thermal expansion of the structure and fiber sensor can lead to bond failure at low temperature. Optical fiber impregnated in the structure will experience differential temperature/strain due to debond of the adhesive. This leads to the frequency and amplitude decomposition of the Brillouin spectra. This is a good indication for real-time monitoring of the integrity of a bond.

T1 - Solution doping of commercial plastic optical fibers N2 - Solution doping of off-the-shelf plastic optical fibers (POFs) represents rather simple and cheap way for preparing custom cladding-doped POFs (CD-POFs) with short to medium lengths. CD-POFs are especially attractive for environmental sensing applications, but might be of interest for illumination task as well. In this work, the proposed doping technique is tested with three different commercial low-cost polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) POFs; Eska CK-40 and Eska GK-40 from Mitsubishi Rayon and Raytela PGU-FB1000 from Toray. The aim of the work is to aid the selection of the most suitable fiber yielding highest optical quality of prepared CD-POFs. Firstly, the optimal doping times are determined for the individual fiber types using short fiber samples. Secondly, longer 10 m CD-POFs are prepared from all tested fibersusing the optimized doping procedure. Finally, attenuation of pristine POFs and prepared CD-POFs is measured using optical time domain reflectometry in order to characterize the impacts of the doping on fiber optical properties. In addition, the importance of post-doping drying procedure for CD-POF optical performance is investigated as well. The results suggest that, although doping of all tested fibers is generally feasible, Eska CK-40 is the most suitable candidate with regard to the Doping efficiency and fiber post-doping performance.

Extensive utilization of ionizing radiation generates demand for development of suitable monitoring techniques. Radiation monitoring systems based on optical fibers offer several key advantages such as small footprint, possibility of remote and real-time measurement as well as electromagnetic immunity. In this contribution, we investigate radiation-induced attenuation (RIA)-based sensing with perfluorinated polymer optical fibers (PF-POFs). The RIA response of two commercial PF-POFs is assessed in a low dose region and performance and limitations of the system are discussed. The concept represents a potential high-sensitivity, low-cost and easy-to-use on-line radiation monitoring system with distributed detection capability T2 - 26thth International Conference on Plastic Optical Fibres (POF 2017) CY - Aveiro, Portugal DA - 13.09.2017 KW - Perfluorinated polymer optical fibers KW - Gamma radiation KW - Radiation monitoring KW - Optical fiber sensor PY - 2017 SN - 978-989-97345-2-4 SP - Paper 5, 1 EP - 4 AN - OPUS4-42318 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Stajanca, Pavol A1 - Krebber, Katerina ED - Nogueira, R.

T1 - Post-fabrication cladding doping of commercial PMMA polymer optical fiber N2 - Possibility of post-fabrication doping of commercial PMMA fibers using well-known solution doping technique is presented. The cladding of 1 mm PMMA fiber is doped with Rhodamine B with the help of methanol-mediated diffusion of the dye molecules into the fiber material. Doping of the fiber core was not possible even at extended doping times. The proposed method represents rather simple and cheap way for preparing custom cladding-doped POFs with high flexibility of dopant choice and fiber length. Produced cladding-doped fibers have potential for various sensing or lighting applications.

The hygroscopic and thermal expansion coefficient of the fiber are determined to be CHE = (7.4 +/- 0.1) 10^-6 %r.h.^-1 and CTE = (22.7 +/- 0.3) 10^-6 K^-1, respectively. The influence of humidity on the Brillouin backscattering power and linewidth are presented for the first time to our knowledge. The Brillouin backscattering power at a pump wavelength of 1319 nm is affected by temperature and humidity. The Brillouin linewidth is observed to be a function of temperature but not of humidity. The strain coefficient of the BFS is determined to be CS = (146.5 +/- 0.9) MHz/% for a wavelength of 1319 nm within a strain range from 0.1 % to 1.5 %. The obtained results demonstrate that the humidity-induced Brillouin frequency shift is predominantly caused by the swelling of the fiber over-cladding that leads to fiber straining.

ED - Boller, C. T1 - Temperature-corrected determination of mechanical deformations in geotechnical structures using Brillouin-based fiber optic sensors N2 - Structural Health Monitoring based on distributed Brillouin measuring techniques has been playing bigger and bigger role for applications in large-scale critical structures over the last decade. The Brillouin sensing techniques make use of low-loss single-mode optical fibers as distributed sensors allowing compound strain and temperature profile discrimination along the measured section even over several tens of kilometers. Thereby, the measured Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) features much stronger dependence on the longitudinal strain in the sensor fiber than on the temperature distribution along the fiber optic sensor. By detection of slight structural changes in monitored civil structures, such as dams, pipelines and tunnels, the influence of temperature on the measured BFS cannot be neglected. In simple cases of fiber optic sensors embedded deeply enough into earth structures no significant temperature gradients caused by weather conditions such as sunrays could be observed. The temperature contributes here only to the signal offset and the local mechanical deformations arisen due to soil displacement can be read directly from the distribution of the BFS. Also special cable solutions for separate determination of temperature and strain have been tested by us under field conditions. The use of two separate optical fibers for strain and temperature detection limits the spatial resolution and measurement accuracy in the determination of both physical quantities. In search of the optimal sensory solution for monitoring of mechanical deformations taking into account the temperature component in the measured signal the use of so called nonzero dispersion-shifted fibers has been investigated in several laboratory tests. Due to different doping concentration in the core new resonance acoustic modes can propagate in such optical fibers which results in multipeak structure in the Brillouin gain spectrum (BGS). The appearance of more than one resonance peak in the BGS offers the possibility to realize simultaneous measurement of longitudinal strain and temperature by analysis of applicable BFSs as function of both physical quantities using only one low cost optical fiber.

We employ advanced signal processing based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) to enhance the performance of the dynamic DFOS for strain and vibration sensing. Specifically, ANNs in comparison to conventional and computationally expensive correlation and linearization algorithms, deliver lower strain errors and speed up the signal processing allowing real time strain monitoring. Furthermore, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are used to denoise the dynamic DFOS signal and enable useable sensing lengths of up to 100 km. Applications of the machine learning assisted dynamic DFOS in road traffic and railway infrastructure monitoring are demonstrated. In the field of static DFOS, machine learning is applied to the well-known Brillouin optical frequency domain analysis (BOFDA) system. Specifically, CNN are shown to be very tolerant against noisy spectra and contribute towards significantly shorter measurement times. Furthermore, different machine learning algorithms (linear and polynomial regression, decision trees, ANNs) are applied to solve the well-known problem of cross-sensitivity in cases when temperature and humidity are measured simultaneously. The presented machine learning assisted DFOS can potentially contribute towards enhanced, cost effective and reliable monitoring of infrastructures. N2 - In diesem Beitrag stellen wir eine Sammlung von verteilten faseroptischen Sensoren (DFOS) vor, die mit Hilfe von Maschinellem Lernen arbeiten und für Anwendungen im Bereich der Infrastrukturüberwachung geeignet sind. Wir setzen hierbei fortschrittliche Signalverarbeitung auf der Grundlage Künstlicher Neuronaler Netze ein, um die Leistungsfähigkeit dynamischer DFOS für die Messung von Dehnungen und Vibrationen zu verbessern. Insbesondere Künstliche Neuronale Netze (ANNs) liefern im Vergleich zu konventionellen und rechenintensiven Korrelations- und Linearisierungsalgorithmen geringere Dehnungsfehler und beschleunigen die Signalverarbeitung, so dass eine Dehnungsüberwachung in Echtzeit möglich ist. Darüber hinaus wenden wir Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) an, um dynamische DFOS-Signale zu entrauschen und damit nutzbare Messlängen von bis zu 100 km zu ermöglichen. Es werden Anwendungsbeispiele dieser durch Maschinelles Lernen unterstützten dynamischen DFOS in den Bereichen des Straßenverkehrsmonitorings und der Zug- und Gleisüberwachung aufgezeigt. Im Bereich der statischen DFOS wird Maschinelles Lernen auf das Verfahren der Optischen Brillouin-Frequenzbereichsanalyse (BOFDA) angewendet. Insbesondere CNN erweisen sich hier als sehr robust gegenüber verrauschten Spektren und tragen zu deutlich kürzeren Messzeiten bei. Darüber hinaus werden verschiedene Algorithmen des maschinellen Lernens (lineare und polynome Regression, Entscheidungsbäume, ANNs) angewandt, um das bekannte Problem der Querempfindlichkeit bei DFOS in den Fällen zu lösen, in denen Temperatur und Feuchtigkeit gleichzeitig gemessen werden sollen. Die hier vorgestellten, durch Maschinelles Lernen unterstützten, DFOS können zu einer verbesserten, kostengünstigen und zuverlässigen Überwachung von Infrastrukturen beitragen.
