Article Citation - WoS: 24Citation - Scopus: 26Fiber Bragg Grating Regeneration at 450°c for Improved High Temperature Sensing(The Optical Society, 2019) Chah, Karima; Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Kinet, Damien; Yazd, Nazila Safari; Megret, Patrice; Caucheteur, ChristopheType-I fiber Bragg gratings photo-inscribed in hydrogen-loaded B/Ge co-doped silica single-mode optical fibers have been regenerated efficiently at 450 degrees C, which is the lowest temperature reported so far. The mechanical strength of the annealed fiber is preserved while ensuring temperature sensing of the regenerated gratings up to 900 degrees C. Unlike low temperature cycles (<= 600 degrees C), an annealing process at higher temperatures revealed faster regeneration for strong gratings. Changes in grating strength were also measured before the regeneration cycle. These behaviors suggest the contribution of different mechanisms to the regeneration process with different relative dynamics.

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.

It uses FBG-based accelerometer together with an optimized signal processing. Sensors can be easily installed on a sleeper, without requiring interruption of the railway operability. © OSA 2018 © 2018 The Author(s)Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 7Demonstration of Pulse Controlled All-Optical Switch/Modulator(The Optical Society, 2014) Akın, Osman; Dinleyici, Mehmet SalihAn all-optical pulse controlled switch/modulator based on evanescent coupling between a polymer slab waveguide and a single mode fiber is demonstrated. Very fast all-optical modulation/switching is achieved via Kerr effect of the nonlinear polymer placed in the evanescent region of the optical fiber. Local refractive index perturbation (δn = -1.45612 × 10 -5) on the thin film leads to 0.374 nW power modulation at the fiber output, which results in a switching efficiency of ≈1.5%.Article Citation - WoS: 97Analysis and Suppression of Nonlinear Frequency Modulation in an Optical Frequency-Domain Reflectometer(The Optical Society, 2009) Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Wuilpart, Marc; Mégret, PatriceA new method for monitoring the nonlinearities perturbing the optical frequency sweep in high speed tunable laser sources is presented. 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.
