    摘要: A body compatible fiber optic sensor probe for invasive medical use is provided. The probe includes at least one sensing location at which the fiber is configured to provide at least one detectable changeable optical property responsive to strain within the fiber, and at least one sensing element which undergoes a volumetric change in response to an in body parameter to be sensed. The sensing element is coupled to the fiber in such a way that the volumetric change induces strain within the fiber so as to vary the detectable optical property or properties.

    摘要: An optical end-pumped fiber laser doped with one or more rare-earths and with distributed feedback (DFB) via a fiber Bragg-grating, which is oscillating on two orthogonally polarized wavelengths. The distance between the wavelengths may be tuned by changing the birefringence of the fiber. The laser may be applied as a polarimetric sensor in which an asymmetrical force changes the wavelength separation, or as a tunable two-wavelength source. A particular preferred field of application is for measuring the pressure in pipes, to determine the flow.

    摘要: An optical wavelength readout system for application in optical sensing systems is disclosed. The system includes a Master unit including a wavelength swept optical source for launching light into a string of optical sensors, and a detection and processing unit for detecting and processing the light emitted by the source. The system also includes a Slave unit including a light coupling device for coupling light from the light source into the string of sensors and for coupling light reflected from the string of sensors to a detection and processing unit arranged to detect and process the reflected light. The Master unit includes a wavelength reference unit adapted to make a reference signal available to other parts of the sensing system. The reference signal represents a generally exact relation between the wavelength of the light emitted from the source and time.

    摘要: A fiber optic sensor system comprises at least one measuring sensor 1 providing an optical output dependent upon one or more parameters to be measured, e.g. temperature, and at least one reference sensor 2 providing a reference output for comparison with the measuring sensor output. The reference sensor is provided in a birefringent fiber.The system includes a detecting means 13,14 whereby a reference beat signal f2 is derived by measuring the optical frequency splitting between frequency components in different polarization planes of the reference sensor output. A further beat signal f3 is generated between the measuring and reference sensor outputs, such beat signals being used to derive a measurement of one or more parameters.
