    Analytical Investigation of a Novel Interrogation Approach of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors Using Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Pala, Deniz
    This work presents a novel approach in interrogating Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) of cascaded identical FBGs using Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometer (OFDR). The fundamentals of both polarisation properties of uniform FBGs and polarisation-sensitive OFDR are explained and the benefits of this novel approach in measuring transversal load are discussed. The numerical programs computing the spectral evolution of PDL of the FBGs in the array as a function of grating parameters (grating length and birefringence) are presented. Our simulation results show an excellent agreement with the previously reported simulation (and experimental) results in the literature obtained on a single FBG by using classical state-of-the-art measurement techniques. As an envisaged application, the proposed system shows the feasibility of measuring the residual stresses during manufacturing process of composite materials which is not straightforward by amplitude spectrum measurements and/or considering only the axial strains. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

    Fiber Optic Sensors Using Novel Substrates for Hydrogen Sulfide Determination by Solid Surface Fluorescence
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2000) Eroğlu, Ahmet Emin; Volkan, Mürvet; Ataman, O. Yavuz
    Two different fiber optic sensors were developed for the determination of hydrogen sulfide at ppb concentration levels; a probe-type fiber optic sensor coated with polyethylene oxide containing 0.5 M CdCl2 and a fiber optic sensor utilizing 0.5 M CdCl2-pretreated filter paper as solid substrate. In the first type, CdCl2–polyethyleneoxide (PEO) mixture was coated onto the tip of a fiber optic probe and the probe was exposed to H2S. The methodology is based on the measurement of CdS fluorescence on the surface. Detection limit (3s) of the PEO-coated fiber optic system was 36.0 ppb for H2S and precision at the 0.552 ppm level was 29% R.S.D. For the fiber optic system utilizing CdCl2-pretreated filter paper, two different configurations were devised and evaluated; a bifurcated fiber optic sensor and a single fiber optic sensor. Similar figures were obtained with these two systems; the detection limit (3s) was 4.0 ppb for the bifurcated fiber optic sensor and 4.3 ppb for the single fiber optic sensor, and both sensors had linear responses in the range 0.032–1.0 ppm. Their precisions at 0.299 ppm level were also very similar, 10 and 11% R.S.D., respectively, for the bifurcated and single fiber systems. In addition to the fiber optic sensors developed, various surfactants (sodiumdodecylsulfate (SDS), Aerosol OT, Aerosol A102, Aerosol 501), some cellulosic substances (sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), ethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, ethylhydroxyethylcellulose, α-cellulose) and several water-soluble polymers (polyacrylicacid polyethleneoxide (PEO), polyvinylalcohol (PVA)) were dissolved in proper solvents and after mixing with 0.5 M CdCl2, were spread over glass slides. These novel solid substrates were exposed to H2S and fluorescence signal on the surfaces of the glass slides was measured with a luminescence spectrometer. The new substrates were shown to be good alternatives to filter paper for the determination of H2S by room temperature solid surface fluorescence spectrometry.
