    摘要: A distributed, spatially resolving optical fiber strain gauge in which the core of the optical fiber is written with periodic grating patterns effective for transmitting and reflecting light injected into the core. Spectral shifts in the transmitted and reflected light indicate the intensity of strain or temperature variations at positions of the grating corresponding to the associated wavelengths of injected light.

    摘要: An optical waveguide having a plurality of cores disposed in a common cladding provides an optical fiber with both a wide bandwidth, by minimizing modal dispersion, and a large aperture to enhance light-carrying capacity. Each of the cores is sized to support only the lowest order mode, HE.sub.11, and the intercore spacing is selected to achieve a required bandwidth. At the same time, the multiple cores provide a large aperture allowing a relatively large amount of light energy emitted from a noncoherent light source to be coupled into the optical fiber. An array factor A.sub.f is given which provides design criteria for the intercore spacing by providing an accurate calculation of the pulse spreading with a large number of cores beginning with a simple twin core fiber.

    摘要: A hot spot detector for a power cable, or the like, includes an optical fiber having a plurality of cores including an input core into which light energy is coupled. The core diameters, spacing, and materials of the cores and the cladding are carefully selected so that cross-talk from the input core to the secondary cores occurs only in the vicinity of the point along the fiber where the hot spot is located. Light energy then propagates along the secondary cores and modal interference causes a beat phenomena producing spatial interference that can be analyzed as energy flow between the secondary cores. By measuring the light intensity patterns emerging from the secondary cores at at least two distinct wavelengths, the location of the hot spot along the fiber can be calculated.

    摘要: A multicore optical fiber having a plurality of cores positioned across the diameter of a common cladding can be so optimized to respond to either temperature or strain by the selection of materials, spacing and shape of the cores in the fiber. The cross-talk between adjacent cores in the fiber changes in response to either a change in temperature or a strain along the length of the fiber. The temperature, strain or pressure change, can be determined by measuring the relative intensity of light emerging from the different cores of the fiber. If the fiber is optimized to respond to temperature change, then a high degree of temperature sensitivity can be provided over a large unambiguous range. Alternatively, cross-talk can be made temperature insensitive so that the intensity pattern of light emerging from the various cores in the fiber is only a function of the strain exerted on the fiber.

    摘要: An optical fiber having at least two cores positioned in a common cladding can be fabricated to be responsive to strain or hydrostatic pressure but not to temperature through the selection of materials, spacing and shape of the cores and cladding in the fiber. Accordingly, the cross-talk between adjacent cores in the optical waveguide can be optimized to respond to a change in hydrostatic pressure or in unidirectional strain along the length of the fiber. The strain or pressure change, can be determined by measuring the relative intensity of light emerging from the different cores of the fiber. A larger unambiguous range for strain or hydrostatic pressure changes can be provided by a multi-core optical fiber embodiment.
