Long Period Grating-Based Fiber Coupling to WGM Microresonators
A comprehensive model for designing robust all-in-fiber microresonator-based optical sensing setups is illustrated. The investigated all-in-fiber setups allow light to selectively excite high-Q whispering gallery modes (WGMs) into optical microresonators,

Efficient large-scale multiplexing of fiber Bragg grating and fiber Fabry-Perot sensors for structural health monitoring applications [PDF]
Fiber Bragg gratings have been demonstrated as a versatile sensor for structural health monitoring. We present an efficient and cost effective multiplexing method for fiber Bragg grating and fiber Fabry-Perot sensors based on a broadband mode-locked ...

Optical fibre long period grating based selective vapour sensing of volatile organic compounds [PDF]
The chemical sensing capabilities of an optical fibre long period grating (LPG) coated with a functional material are explored. The LPG period and coating thickness are chosen such that the mode transition region, characteristic of LPGs coated with ...

Long-Period Fiber Gratings in Active Fibers
Traditionally, long period fiber gratings (LPG) are made in passive optical fibers that have negligible loss. However, loss or gain that can be controlled via optical pumping adds a new degree of freedom and - as will be shown in this chapter - brings many new and interesting properties.

Multiplexing of fiber-optic long-period grating-based interferometric sensors [PDF]
Two long-period gratings (LPGs) fabricated in series in an optical fiber form a Mach-Zehnder interferometer, producing a sinusoidal channelled spectrum within the characteristic LPG attenuation bands, which has the appearance of an interference fringe ...

Dissimilar-fiber long-period fiber gratings: concept and demonstration
A new type of long-period fiber grating structure that contains dissimilar fiber types is proposed. This dissimilar-fiber long-period fiber grating (DF-LPFG) structure is fabricated by splicing together subperiod sections of dissimilar fiber types. Due to the large index differences that can exist between various fiber types, the resulting DF-LPFGs can
