    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Methods for coating an optical fiber with optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a hermetic coating, particularly a coating of carbon, are employed to avoid ingress of gases, vapors or fluids in the ambient environment. This ingress can be from water or hydrogen, which can diffuse in the fiber glass and cause deviation/drift in the measured Bragg measurements. Bragg gratings that maintain the grating strength at temperatures in excess of 1000° C. are used and can be formed by heating the fiber above 1000° C. in a chamber with a reactive gas that produces deposition of carbon.
