    Analysis of a Novel Sensor Interrogation Technique Based on Fiber Cavity Ring-Down (crd) Loop and Otdr
    (Academic Press Inc., 2018) Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Yılmaz, Anıl
    We present the analysis of a remote sensor based on fiber Cavity Ring-Down (CRD) loop interrogated by an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) taking into account both practical limitations and the related signal processing. A commercial OTDR is used for both pulse generation and sensor output detection. This allows obtaining a compact and simple design for intensity-based sensor applications. This novel sensor interrogation approach is experimentally demonstrated by placing a variable attenuator inside the fiber loop that mimics a sensor head.

    Fiber Optik Sensörler ile Sıvılarda Kırılma İndisi Ölçüm Yöntemlerinin Analizi
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) İde, Cansu; Yüksel, Kıvılcım
    Refractive index (RI) is one of the physical properties of material, such as boiling/melting point, density, and elasticity. As one of the distinctive features of the material, measurement of the RI is nowadays used in many areas including the food, oil and petroleum industry, biomedical applications, and environmental analysis. In recent years, fiber optic based refractometers become highly popular thanks to the advantages they provide compared to other methods used in the above mentioned fields. Two fiber optic refractive index sensors were investigated in this study: Fresnel reflection based-and long-period fiber grating (LPFG) based-refractometers. The former uses SMF fiber tip as sensing point interrogated by an OTDR from a distant location, where the latter examines the changes in the resonance wavelength. Experimental work realised on different concentrations of glucose-water and glycerol-water solutions successfully demonstrated the capability of the proposed sensor in measuring RI of liquid chemicals with a precision of 1.7×10-4 (Fresnel-based sensor) and maximum sensitivity of 193.42 nm/RIU (LPGF based sensor).

    Optical Fiber Sensor System for Remote and Multi-Point Refractive Index Measurement
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Yüksel, Kıvılcım
    A Fresnel-reflection-based RI sensor using SMF fiber tips as sensing points interrogated by multi-wavelength OTDR from a distant location (up to several tens of kilometers) has been reported. The advantage of the system compared to previous work is that the distance between sensor points is not limited by the spatial resolution of OTDR. Experimental work demonstrated that the proposed sensor is capable of measuring refractive index of liquid chemicals with a precision of 1.7 × 10−4. This sensor prototype have strong conveniences (simple installation requirements, fast response and reliability in harsh environment) compared to previous Fresnel-based RI sensors which makes it a very good option for environmental monitoring systems. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

    Infrared Radiation Detector Interrogated by Optical Frequency-Domain Reflectometer
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Yüksel, Kıvılcım; Caucheteur, Christophe; Renoirt, Jean-Michel; Debliquy, Marc; Mégret, Patrice; Wuilpart, Marc
    We 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.
