Recent Progress in Distributed Fiber Optic Sensors

open access: yesSensors, 2012
Rayleigh, Brillouin and Raman scatterings in fibers result from the interaction of photons with local material characteristic features like density, temperature and strain.

Birefringent Glass‐Engraved Tilted Pillar Metasurfaces for High Power Laser Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2023
Birefringent materials—which are highly needed in high power laser systems—may be limited in usage due to the laser‐induced damage threshold of traditional birefringent materials.

Intrinsic, multiplexable sensors for electric field strength using structural slow light in phase-shifted fibre Bragg gratings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
In this paper we demonstrate through simulation the potential for phase-shifted fibre Bragg gratings incorporating structural slow light to enable intrinsic reflection-mode point sensors for electric field or voltage.

Mitigation of the birefringence dispersion on the polarization coupling measurement in a long-distance high-birefringence fiber [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Due to the birefringence dispersion, the polarization coupling parameter measurement in high-birefringence fiber decreases obviously with the fiber length, especially for long-distance fibers.

Enhancement of Birefringence in Reduced Graphene Oxide Doped Liquid Crystal

open access: yesNanomaterials, 2020
We investigated the effect of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) doping on the birefringence of 5CB liquid crystal (LC). The characteristics of the synthesized rGO and LC-rGO composite with different rGO concentrations were analyzed by atomic force microscopy,

Measurement of the Cotton Mouton effect of water vapour

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper we report on a measurement of the Cotton Mouton effect of water vapour. Measurement performed at room temperature ($T=301$ K) with a wavelength of 1064 nm gave the value $\Delta n_u = (6.67 \pm 0.45) \cdot 10^{-15}$ for the unit magnetic ...

Birefringence Variation Independent Fiber-Optic Current Sensor Using Real-Time SOP Measurement

open access: yesIEEE Photonics Journal, 2017
We propose a birefringence variation independent fiber-optic current sensor based on polarization diversity and a real-time state of polarization measurement technique.

An impact-insensitive fiber optic current transformer based on polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber delay coil

open access: yesFrontiers in Physics, 2023
When the polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) delay coil of a fiber optic current transformer (FOCT) is impacted, external forces on the optical fibers and change of their birefringence may lead to extra phase errors during the propagation of optical ...

First results from the new PVLAS apparatus: a new limit on vacuum magnetic birefringence

open access: yes, 2014
Several groups are carrying out experiments to observe and measure vacuum magnetic birefringence, predicted by Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). We have started running the new PVLAS apparatus installed in Ferrara, Italy, and have measured a noise floor ...
