Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Analysis of Crosstalk Effects in Phase-Otdr System Using Fiber Bragg Grating Array(Elsevier, 2023) Koçal, Ertunga Burak; Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Wuilpart, MarcIn this paper, the parasitic components (i.e., multi-reflections, Rayleigh scattering, photodetector noise, and phase variations due to external perturbations) are analysed and based on this analysis, a new signal to noise ratio (SNR) definition is provided suitable for the FBG-assisted Phase-OTDR system. A detailed analysis of performance parameters in the presence of multi reflection crosstalk (including its first- and second-order components) and spectral shadowing crosstalk is presented. SNR was calculated for different reflectivity and spacing lengths showing that the maximum number of cascaded FBGs can be significantly increased by using lower FBG reflectivity. It was also observed that the spacing length distance does not have a significant impact on the maximum number of FBGs that can be interrogated. By comparing single-pulse and double-pulse configurations, the use of double pulse was shown to provide higher SNR values when the number of FBGs is around 100 FBGs. The multi-reflection crosstalk when combined with the spectral-shadowing effect was demonstrated to create secondary crosstalk components making the interpretation of spectral analysis more difficult.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Current Sensing Using a Phase-Sensitive Optical Time Domain Reflectometer: Feasibility Study(Elsevier, 2022) Wuilpart, Marc; Şirin, Şamil; Yüksel Aldoğan, KıvılcımA novel method for distributed current sensing using an FBG-assisted Phase-OTDR with Mach-Zehnder Interferometer is proposed. The detrimental effect of the intrinsic linear birefringence of the sensing fiber is solved by calibration. An FBG pair is written at the two ends of the spun fiber coil to eliminate phase fading and increase the measurement accuracy. A simulation tool was developed to reveal the feasibility of the approach by investigating the impact of the detector noise as well as the effects of bending- and FBG-induced linear birefringence on the sensing performance.Article Citation - WoS: 101Citation - Scopus: 129Scientific Applications of Distributed Acoustic Sensing: State-Of Review and Perspective(MDPI, 2022) Gorshkov, Boris G.; Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Fotiadi, Andrei A.; Wuilpart, Marc; Korobko, Dmitry A.; Zhirnov, Andrey A.; Lobach, Ivan A.This work presents a detailed review of the development of distributed acoustic sensors (DAS) and their newest scientific applications. It covers most areas of human activities, such as the engineering, material, and humanitarian sciences, geophysics, culture, biology, and applied mechanics. It also provides the theoretical basis for most well-known DAS techniques and unveils the features that characterize each particular group of applications. After providing a summary of research achievements, the paper develops an initial perspective of the future work and determines the most promising DAS technologies that should be improved.Article Citation - WoS: 19Citation - Scopus: 21Spectral Shadowing Suppression Technique in Phase-Otdr Sensing Based on Weak Fiber Bragg Grating Array(The Optical Society, 2019) de Miguel Soto, Veronica; Jason, Johan; Kurtoğlu, Deniz; Lopez-Amo, Manuel; Wuilpart, MarcA postprocessing procedure is presented to suppress spectral shadowing in phase-OTDR sensing systems based on a weak fiber Bragg grating array. A complete theoretical analysis of the interfering signals has been carried out to identify a compensation method. The proposed approach has been applied to simulated and experimental phase-OTDR in the context of vibration measurements. Fast Fourier transform has been employed to analyze the obtained results, which has verified the validity of the proposed method to suppress spectral shadowing. (C) 2019 Optical Society of AmericaArticle Citation - WoS: 9Citation - Scopus: 13Effect of Faraday Mirror Imperfections in a Fiber Optic Current Sensor Dedicated To Iter(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Karabulut, Doğuş; Miazin, Anton; Gusarov, Andrei; Moreau, Philippe; Leysen, Willem; Megret, Patrice; Wuilpart, MarcPlasma current measurements in ITER are safety-related and must therefore satisfy a very demanding specification. In this paper, the use of the Fiber Optics Current Sensor (FOCS) operating in the reflection mode with a Faraday mirror to perform plasma current measurements is analyzed. Based on the Jones matrix formalism, we performed numerical simulations to investigate the impact of the Faraday mirror detuning on the measurement accuracy. We show that the use of standard commercial components does not allow to satisfy the ITER requirements for the whole plasma current range. A simple solution to the problem is proposed, which consists in taking into account a mirror calibration in the current estimator. We show that the achievable mirror calibration accuracy is sufficient to fulfill the ITER requirements.Article Citation - WoS: 3Infrared Radiation Detector Interrogated by Optical Frequency-Domain Reflectometer(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Caucheteur, Christophe; Renoirt, Jean-Michel; Debliquy, Marc; Mégret, Patrice; Wuilpart, MarcWe experimentally demonstrated a fast infrared (IR) radiation sensor. It is capable of measuring IR radiation independently from the environmental temperature fluctuations. Experimental work shows that this IR detection prototype have strong conveniences (fast response and reliability in harsh environment) compared to previous detectors which makes it a very good option for early fire detection systems. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

The swept-frequency monitoring system comprises a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and simple signal processing steps. It has been implemented in a coherent optical frequency domain reflectometer which allowed to drastically reduce the effects of nonlinear sweep, resulting to a spatial resolution enhancement of 30 times. © 2009 Optical Society of America.
