Finally, Section 5 contains our concluding remarks. [clarification needed], Typically the grating period is the same size as the Bragg wavelength, as shown above. 1995; Sun et al. WebAfter a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is fabricated, the reflection spectrum of the FBG is generally not tunable without mechanical deformation or temperature adjustment. These gratings are called long-period fiber grating. Liu, Y.; Yuan, L.B. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the Originally, the manufacture of the photosensitive optical fiber and the 'writing' of the fiber Bragg grating were done separately. Using the transfer-matrix method, we first simulated the dynamical behavior of spectra with different levels of distortion. https://doi.org/10.3390/s141224258, Lamberti, Alfredo, Steve Vanlanduit, Ben De Pauw, and Francis Berghmans. Negri, L.; Nied, A.; Kalinowsky, H.; Paterno, A. The peak of the spectrum at 976 nm is related to the unabsorbed pump light. Benchmark of Peak Detection Algorithms in Fiber Bragg Grating Interrogation and a New Neural Network for its Performance Improvement. The accuracy of the CD technique (Figure 6) shows low variation with both FWHM and UNB. , can then be used to set the peak reflectivity, which depends on both the grating strength and the grating length. 0000021559 00000 n WebThe working principle of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors is mostly based on the tracking of the Bragg wavelength shift. n [2] Initially, the gratings were fabricated using a visible laser propagating along the fiber core. The vibration measurements are then repeated and the new SNR levels computed. The resonance 0000002862 00000 n ; Lau, K.T. The inner cladding of the active fiber is often shaped to scramble the cladding modes and increase pump overlap with the doped core. 0000004855 00000 n The gratings were formed in germanosilicate fibers with pulses from a frequency doubled XeCl pumped dye laser. This means that fiber Bragg gratings can be used as sensing elements in optical fiber sensors. Temperature Response Test. permission is required to reuse all or part of the article published by MDPI, including figures and tables. The performance of the algorithms was evaluated in terms of accuracy and SNR. [Google Scholar] The angle of tilt in a TFBG has an effect on the reflected wavelength, and bandwidth. The key difference between prism spectra and grating spectra is that in prism spectra, the spectrum is created due to the dispersion of light, whereas in grating spectra, the spectrum is created due to the diffraction of light.. A spectrum is a band or series of colours created by the separation of components of light according to the different This material has two tasks: it protects the fibers, and at the same time, it induces a distortion of the spectrum. Alfredo Lamberti conceived of, designed and performed the simulations and the experiments. 22of 1995 Technical Digest Series (Optical Society of America, Washington, D.C., 1995), p. PD 1. A 5 mm-long grating with B = 1552.5 nm was inscribed in the two-core fiber with the well-established phase mask technique. When the wavelength shift increases (scenarios from 1 to 100 and from 201 to 300), the FPC continues to give better results than the CD for 65% of the cases (130 scenarios out of 200). B The SNR of the MD algorithm is taken as the reference. [27] performed dynamical strain measurements of embedded FBG sensors using a fast interrogator with full spectrum acquisition. However, these cracks can be very localized so as to not play a major role in scattering loss if properly prepared.[12][13]. The amplitude of the excitation plays an important role in terms of the SNR performances of the different analyzed algorithms. 2.3. Gill, A.; Peters, K.; Studer, M. Genetic algorithm for the reconstruction of Bragg grating sensor strain profile. The key difference between the inscription of type IA and IIA gratings is that IA gratings are written in hydrogenated fibers, whereas type IIA gratings are written in non-hydrogenated fibers. To accomplish this task, different algorithms have been Meltz, G.; Morey, W.W.; Glenn, W.H. A photomask having the intended grating features may also be used in the manufacture of fiber Bragg gratings. Once the SNR values are stored, the tightness of the bolt is manually increased, and a new transverse load case corresponding to spectra with different FWHM and UNB is generated. showed that it was possible to inscribe gratings of ~100% (>99.8%) reflectance with a single UV pulse in fibers on the draw tower. [4] These are summarized below: Written in both hydrogenated and non-hydrogenated fiber of all types, type I gratings are usually known as standard gratings and are manufactured in fibers of all types under all hydrogenation conditions. This means that the reflection and transmission spectra are complementary and there is negligible loss of light by reflection into the cladding or by absorption. Lamberti, A.; Vanlanduit, S.; De Pauw, B.; Berghmans, F. Influence of Fiber Bragg Grating Spectrum Degradation on the Performance of Sensor Interrogation Algorithms. The COST TD1001 action OFSESAis acknowledged for providing networking opportunities. Type I gratings are the most commonly used of all grating types, and the only types of grating available off-the-shelf at the time of writing. is the coefficient of temperature, which is made up of the thermal expansion coefficient of the optical fiber, As an example, passive fibers with clad diameters of 395-m spliced to active octagon shaped fiber with clad diameters of 400-m improve the coupling of the pump power into the active fiber. WebDiffraction gratings allow optical spectroscopy. Some of these algorithms simply detect shifts of the Bragg wavelength, while other techniques also take into account the shape of the reflection spectrum. L Lamberti, A.; Vanlanduit, S.; de Pauw, B.; Berghmans, F. Peak detection in fiber Bragg grating using a fast phase correlation algorithm. A fiber or waveguide Bragg grating is a one-dimensional optical device produced by periodic variation of the refractive index in the fiber core or the waveguide, .[28]. The term apodization refers to the grading of the refractive index to approach zero at the end of the grating. The red crosses indicate scenarios for which the SNRMD of Figure 3 is negative. Two, three, four and many slits The MD used in this paper computes the wavelength of maximum reflectivity using the following equation: The centroid detection algorithm computes the wavelength c corresponding to the geometrical centroid of the reflection spectrum by means of the following equation: Another scheme for demodulating of FBG reflection spectra uses the cross-correlation algorithm [11]. 0 The transfer-matrix method [28] is used to simulate the behavior of a single-mode FBG sensor subjected to 300 different scenarios of non-uniform strain field distributions along the sensor axis. To estimate the accuracy of the demodulation algorithm, the amplitude of the computed DEM(f, FWHM, UNB) is eventually compared with the amplitude of the theoretically-calculated D(f, FWHM, UNB). 0000002312 00000 n 0000016677 00000 n It is a pure peak detection algorithm in the sense that it does not take into account the shape of the spectrum. 0000026262 00000 n ) and a change in temperature ( is the number of periodic variations. Note that this approximation does not apply to weak gratings where the grating length, MDPI and/or 2.3. As such they offer a significant advantage over traditional electronic gauges used for these applications in that they are less sensitive to vibration or heat and consequently are far more reliable. Although this case corresponds to a positive SNRMD, the ratio The second process deals with the estimation of the wavelength shifts via the different demodulation algorithm presented in Section 2. The maximum detection algorithm searches for the wavelength corresponding to the maximum power in the reflection spectrum. Subsection 3.1 introduces the transfer-matrix [28] method used to calculate the FBG spectral response as implemented in MATLAB, and Subsection 3.2 illustrates the methodology adopted to process the simulated data and to compare the performance of the different techniques. The CC and the FPC produce SNR levels that are always higher than 30 dB, independent of the maximum reflectivity values. Steve Vanlanduit and Francis Berghmans helped in interpreting the results, revising and writing the paper. 0000003857 00000 n We use cookies on our website to ensure you get the best experience. P The CD is always more accurate than the CC (Figures 6 and 7), while it is less accurate than the FPC (Figures 7 and 8) in 260 of the 300 simulated scenarios (86.67%). There are six common structures for FBGs;[14], The first complex grating was made by J. Canning in 1994. The reflected wavelength ( The method that is preferable depends on the type of grating to be manufactured. Am. ; Gemes, A. Optical fiber sensors for monitoring of welding residual stresses. / Today, FBG sensors are adopted for probing a variety of measurands, such as strain, temperature, pressure, erosion and even magnetic fields [3,4]. WebSpectra of wavelength shifts observed during tuning of a 1560-nm FBG. These Yb-doped fiber lasers first operated at the 1kW CW power level in 2004[32] based on free space cavities but were not shown to operate with fiber Bragg grating cavities until much later. WebA stable triple-wavelength semiconductor optical amplifier ring-cavity laser with two seed DFB lasers and a fiber Bragg grating(FBG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The reflection spectra were recorded using an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) (Anritsu, Kanagawa Prefecture, MA9710C, Japan). ; Chadderdon, S. Full-Spectral Interrogation of Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors Exposed to Steady-State Vibration. This grating exhibited a negative change in the mean index of the fiber and was termed type IIA. is the effective refractive index of the grating in the fiber core and Complex grating profiles can be manufactured by exposing a large number of small, partially overlapping gratings in sequence. It was rather conceived of in order to allow a fast and easy application of non-uniform loads. {\displaystyle n_{3}-n_{2}} Mass production is in particular facilitating applications in smart structures utilizing large numbers (3000) of embedded fiber Bragg gratings along a single length of fiber. In this paper, we analyzed 11 different load cases (including the reference load condition). 0000014116 00000 n Fiber Bragg Grating Spectra in Graded-index Multimode Optical Fibers Abstract: In this paper, we describe a simulation method to analyze the spectral properties . The optical frequency response of an AFBS has two narrowband notches with the frequency spacing between them being in the radio frequency (RF) range. Ultrasensitive temperature sensor based on a urethane acrylate-coated off-axis spiral long period fiber grating. In that case, however, the centroid (CD) was the only algorithm used to process the acquired deformed spectra and to calculate the dynamic average strain. {\displaystyle \Lambda } In a FBG sensor, the measurand causes a shift in the Bragg wavelength, < Conventional FBGs fabricated by using an ultraviolet (UV) laser phase-mask method require the sensitization of the optical fiber and could not be used at high temperatures. B First, a reference transverse load is selected by arbitrarily choosing an initial level of bolt tightness. View this Catamaran and other Sail boats on boattrader.com Therefore, in the experiments, the birefringence effect is much more pronounced than in the simulation and affects with a different weight the SNR levels. g As the mirrors have a limited range, they must be reset every period, and the fringes move in a sawtooth pattern. Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly This paper has shown that the FPC is the algorithm that guarantees the best combination of versatility, precision and accuracy. These studies can be grouped into two main categories: the first focusing on the reconstruction of the non-uniform strain field in static or quasi-static condition [16,25] using neural networks and genetic algorithms; the second dealing with the development of new types of interrogator systems with higher performance in terms of accuracy and interrogation speed [26,27]. {\displaystyle \delta n_{0}} Both principles for All grating parameters are accessible in the control software, and it is therefore possible to manufacture arbitrary gratings structures without any changes in the hardware. In the 1990s, investigations were conducted for measuring strain and temperature in composite materials for aircraft and helicopter structures. 0000005935 00000 n In many settings, including in We use cookies to improve user experience and analyze our website traffic as stated in our, Topology-Based Fiber Ensures Robust Performance Amid Distortions, VTT Spins Out Silicon Semiconductor Qubit Tech Company SemiQon: Week in Brief: 03/17/23, In-Space Laser Power Beaming Experiment Enters Orbit, Researchers Shrink Dimensions in Which Light Can Be Confined, Superresolution Method Captures Conformational Changes in Proteins. Statistically, the major number of failures in terms of both SNR and accuracy occurs for FWHM and UNB, respectively, above 1.43 and 0.87 nm. {\displaystyle \epsilon } {\displaystyle L_{g}} Thus far, five (or six) types of FBG have been reported with different underlying photosensitivity mechanisms. The sensitivity of a FBG to strain is discussed below in fiber Bragg grating sensors. The authors declare no conflict of interest. Lasers employed are usually pulsed in order to reach these intensities. 17601773, 1997, S Bandyopadhyay, P Biswas, F Chiavaioli, TK Dey, N Basumallick, 'Long-period fiber grating: a specific design for biosensing applications', Applied Optics 56 (35), 9846-9853, S.

Accuracy A(FWHM, UNB) and SNR(FWHM, UNB) were computed with the following equations: Figure 3 shows the obtained SNR levels as a function of the indices FWHM and UNB. The CFBG has the fundamental Bragg resonance at 1,570 nm and a bandwidth of 20 nm at 3 dB. 0000005987 00000 n ) is approximately given by, Here, The term type in this context refers to the underlying photosensitivity mechanism by which grating fringes are produced in the fiber. 18 indicates that the MD demodulation of the wavelength shift fails. {\displaystyle \Delta \lambda } Wang, Y.; Chen, N.; Yun, B.; Wang, Z.; Lu, C.; Cui, Y. 19, No. reflectivity, bandwidth, and sidelobes intensity for uniform and apodized (Gaussian, hyperbolic tangent, apod1, sine, and raised As mentioned in the Introduction, when broadband light encounters a FBG sensor, part of its spectrum at a specific wavelength is reflected. The fast phase-correlation algorithm yields the best combination of high SNR and accuracy. The refractive index of the photosensitive fiber changes according to the intensity of light that it is exposed to. ( QPY=fcb2pFfi5 > ge0rXZBfM10F````y~b As a consequence, the original FBG spectra distort: the original peak regions become broader, and multiple peaks arise due to birefringence effects [32,33]. B The challenge is to operate these monolithic cavities at the kW CW power level in large mode area (LMA) fibers such as 20/400 (20m diameter core and 400m diameter inner cladding) without premature failures at the intra-cavity splice points and the gratings. https://doi.org/10.3390/s141224258, Subscribe to receive issue release notifications and newsletters from MDPI journals, You can make submissions to other journals. They have been interpreted in different ways including dopant diffusion (oxygen being the most popular current interpretation) and glass structural change. In addition to what was already stated, it has to be mentioned that the experimental set-up used in this paper was not conceived of to apply controllable loads in a repeatable manner. 8, 1997, pp. Then, each demodulation algorithm provides an estimated function DEM(t, FWHM, UNB), which is successively processed by the FFT algorithm to obtained the wavelength DEM(f, FWHM, UNB) shift in the frequency domain. Finally, the Flemish Hercules Foundation and the Methusalem Foundation of Vrije Universiteit Brussel are acknowledged, as well. Using the methods proposed, we have measured the shift of the reflection spectra of a fiber Bragg grating upon heating. [19] These types of gratings can be reconfigurable through special packaging and system design. This means the grating strength can be used to set the bandwidth. [15][citation needed] This supported the development of the first distributed feedback (DFB) fiber lasers, and also laid the groundwork for most complex gratings that followed, including the sampled gratings first made by Peter Hill and colleagues in Australia. The peak reflection ( WebThis work presents a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) displacement sensing system to experimentally investigate the dynamic behaviors of phononic crystal (PC) beams through impact-induced early short time or long time transient responses. Luyckx, G.; Voet, E.; Lammens, N.; Degrieck, J. Today, production lines typically draw the fiber from the preform and 'write' the grating, all in a single stage. "Influence of Fiber Bragg Grating Spectrum Degradation on the Performance of Sensor Interrogation Algorithms" Sensors 14, no. Given two spectra R() and R() = R( + ), the FPC computes the shift by means of the following equation: To analyze the performance of the demodulation algorithms introduced in the previous section, we carried out simulations using the commercially available software, MATLAB[30] (The Mathworks, Natick, MA, USA). The characteristics of entire grating are obtained by multiplying the transfer-matrices of all of the short segments. Specifically, fiber Bragg gratings are finding uses in instrumentation applications such as seismology,[29] pressure sensors for extremely harsh environments, and as downhole sensors in oil and gas wells for measurement of the effects of external pressure, temperature, seismic vibrations and inline flow measurement. These algorithms were the maximum detection (MD), the centroid detection (CD), the cross-correlation (CC) and fast phase-correlation (FPC). The result of this is that the side-lobe strength cannot be controlled, and this simple optimisation results in significant side-lobes. In this paper, we investigate modification of transmission spectra of long-period fiber grating structures with an acoustic shock front propagating along the fiber. Strain measurements inside thick laminates at the vicinity of bolted joints. They typically have grating periods on the order of 100 micrometers, to a millimeter, and are therefore much easier to manufacture. 0000002972 00000 n Fibre Bragg Gratings: Fundamentals and Applications in Telecommunications and Sensing, Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors: Recent Advancements, Industrial Applications and Market Exploitation, Help us to further improve by taking part in this short 5 minute survey, HiCoDG: A Hierarchical Data-Gathering Scheme Using Cooperative Multiple Mobile Elements, A High-Q Resonant Pressure Microsensor with Through-Glass Electrical Interconnections Based on Wafer-Level MEMS Vacuum Packaging, http://sine.ni.eom/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/209069, http://www.fbgs.com/products/measurement-devices/fbg-scan-700/800/, http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. It must be noticed that each of these demodulation algorithms can be selected independently from the type of spectral interrogator used. A frequency-doubled Argon-ion laser M Overall, the results are in good agreement with the simulated SNR levels in Figure 3. This 30 x 30 mm grating comes pre-aligned in its own frame, allowing it to precisely fit inside the instrument. Microscopic examination of these gratings showed a periodic damage track at the grating's site within the fiber [10]; hence type II gratings are also known as damage gratings. This method allows for quick and easy changes to the Bragg wavelength, which is directly related to the interference period and a function of the incident angle of the laser light. ), is (in the strong grating limit) given by. The FPC can give SNR levels up to 30 dB higher than the CC.

S 0000023754 00000 n Secondly, the amplitude of the vibration achieved during the experiments does not exactly coincide with either of the three simulated amplitude levels (C2 coefficients in Figure 1b). is the grating period. This is due to the fact that the maximum FWHM (1.41 nm) obtained from the experiments is below the critical value 1.43 nm, above which, according to simulations, the MD algorithm starts to fail. They can also be used as transduction elements, converting the output of another sensor, which generates a strain or temperature change from the measurand, for example fiber Bragg grating gas sensors use an absorbent coating, which in the presence of a gas expands generating a strain, which is measurable by the grating. Two main processes are used: interference and masking. Formation of Bragg gratings in optical fibers by a transverse folographic method. These are summarized below: The reflected wavelength changes with the grating period, broadening the reflected spectrum. Chan, C.C. n [24] The germanium-doped fiber is photosensitive, which means that the refractive index of the core changes with exposure to UV light. More particularly, the probability that this algorithm fails at retrieving the actual wavelength shifts increases for values of FWHM > 1.43nm. The first window is centered around the original Bragg wavelength of FBG1 (1529.62 nm); the second and the third windows are centered, respectively, around 1539.55 nm (B of FBG2) and 1559.41 nm (B of FBG3). Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have been used worldwide as a basic fiber device since the 1990s. Although the power handling capability of the fiber itself far exceeds this level, and is possibly as high as >30kW CW, the practical limit is much lower due to component reliability and splice losses. Studer, M.; Peters, K.; Botsis, J. 0000005089 00000 n P The CD and FPC techniques allow one to achieve the highest values of SNR. {\displaystyle \lambda _{B}} %PDF-1.2 % The 86% of the cases for which SNRCD is higher than SNRFPC is related to almost undistorted spectra with values of FWHM and UNB lower than 0.25 and 0.09 nm, respectively. The refractive index profile of the grating may be modified to add other features, such as a linear variation in the grating period, called a chirp. WebThe reflected grating spectra of FBGs 12 were monitored by an FBG interrogator system (FS22SI, HBM FiberSensing) featuring a wavelength resolution of 1 pm and a scanning rate of 1 Hz. The difference SNRFPC SNRCD is always positive for low-amplitude vibrations (Scenario 101200; D = 7.02 pm) and reaches the maximum value of 22.84 dB. Typically, the reflection spectra of a type I grating is equal to 1-T where T is the transmission spectra.
