Distributed Brillouin Fiber Laser Sensor

open access: yes27th International Conference on Optical Fiber Sensors, 2022
We present a distributed Brillouin fiber sensor that operates by exciting a series of discrete lasing modes. This approach provides inherently wide dynamic range (5mε) while the narrow linewidth lasing modes enable low noise (8nε/√Hz).

Sensitive Spectroscopy of Acetone Using a Widely Tunable External-Cavity Quantum Cascade Laser

open access: yesSensors, 2018
We employed a single-mode, widely tunable (~300 cm−1) external-cavity quantum cascade laser operating around 8 µm for broadband direct absorption spectroscopy and wavelength modulation spectroscopy where a modulation frequency of 50 kHz was ...

Control of Frequency Combs with Passive Resonators

open access: yesSensors, 2023
Tailored optical frequency combs are generated by nesting passive etalons within mode-locked oscillators. In this work, the oscillator generates a comb of 6.8 GHz with 106 MHz side-bands.

Laser Range Sensors

open access: yesDefence Science Journal, 2007
This paper presents the design aspects of laser range finders and proximity sensors beingdeveloped at IRDE for different applications. The principle used in most of the laser rangefinders is pulse echo or time-of-flight measurement. Optical triangulation is used in proximitysensors while techniques like phase detection and interferometry are employed ...

Modular microring laser cavity sensor

open access: yesOptics Express, 2021
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a modular microring laser (MML) cavity for sensing applications. The proposed MML permits much more design freedom compared with a traditional simple ring cavity by decoupling the performance parameters into several regions in the cavity.
