    摘要: An optical fiber sensor having a central core, a cladding layer disposed about the central core, and a thin film of lithium niobate positioned between the core and the cladding layer. Each of the cladding layer and the central core are made from glass materials having different indices of refraction. The refractive index of the lithium niobate film changes when stress is applied to the optical fiber sensor. Accordingly, stress may be detected and measured by detecting and measuring the modulation of light passing through the optical fiber sensor while the stress is occurring.

    摘要: An optical fiber having a thin layer of gold positioned between the core and cladding. The gold layer is vacuum deposited on a rotating clean glass rod which will become the fiber core. The rod is inserted into a tube that will form the cladding of the fiber. The tube is sealed and placed in a hot tin bath inside a stainless steel pressure chamber that is pressurized and heated to collapse the cladding around the gold-coated core, thereby forming a fiber perform that may be pulled to form the gold metal cylinder fiber of the present invention. The fiber may be cleaved at one end and etched to expose a gold cylinder, thereby forming a highly responsive sensor.

    摘要: A method of forming a preform which has a glass core surrounded by an outer glass cladding with a coating of a light interactive material disposed between the core and cladding. The method includes providing a glass core having a viscosity which lies within a given preselected temperature range, followed by forming a substantially homogeneous coating of a light interactive material over the surface of the core, with the coating material having a viscosity which is equal to or less than the viscosity of the glass core. A glass cladding is formed over the coated layer, with the cladding glass having a viscosity which overlaps the viscosity of the core glass and a thermal coefficient of expansion compatible with that of the core. The light interactive material is an inorganic material which includes a metal, metal alloy, ferrite, magnetic material and a semiconductor.
