Locally pressed fibre Bragg grating pressure sensor [PDF]
A spectral-hole created by locally pressing a fibre Bragg grating exhibited a wavelength-shift within the FBG bandwidth. A sensitivity of 74.3pm/(N/mm) was obtained for pressure applied along the slow axis of a high birefringence ...

Nonlinear switching in fibre Bragg gratings
We report on our recent experiments on nonlinear switching in fibre Bragg gratings. Using an all-fibre source we show an increase in transmission of a FBG from 4% to 40% at high powers. This switching is associated with the formation of gap solitons inside the grating.

A High-Temperature Fiber Sensor Using a Low Cost Interrogation Scheme
Regenerated Fibre Bragg Gratings have the potential for high-temperature monitoring. In this paper, the inscription of Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBGs) and the later regeneration process to obtain Regenerated Fiber Bragg Gratings (RFBGs) in high-birefringence

A simple method for fabricating phase-shifted fibre Bragg gratings with flexible choice of centre wavelength [PDF]
A simple technique for fabricating phase-shifted fibre Bragg gratings (PSFBGs) without the use of a phase-shifted phase mask is presented. Two, 3-mm long, standard fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) were inscribed sequentially in singlemode fibre at the same

An investigation of chirped fibre Bragg gratings Fabry-Perot interferometer for sensing applications [PDF]
Fibre interferometer configurations such as the Michelson and Fabry-Perot (FP) have been formed using uniformed and chirped Fibre Bragg Gratings (FBG) acting as partial reflectors. As well as increasing the dynamic range of the interferometer, chirped

Thermal dependence of the strain response of optical fibre Bragg gratings. [PDF]
The temperature dependence of the strain sensitivity of fibre Bragg gratings written into a number of different fibre types has been investigated. It was found that the strain response changed on average by 0.21 ± 0.03 fm µε-1 °C-1 over a range of ...

Bi-Signature optical spectroscopy for online fault detection in electrical machines
A novel bi-signature optical spectroscopy for fault detection in electrical machines is presented. The combined use of long period grating (LPG) and two fibre Bragg gratings (FBG1 and FBG2) is implemented to discriminate between vibration and temperature
