Interferometric distributed sensing system with phase optical time-domain reflectometry
We demonstrate a distributed optical fiber sensing system based on the Michelson interferometer of the phase sensitive optical time domain reflectometer (φ-OTDR) for acoustic measurement. Phase, amplitude, frequency response, and location information can

Spectral-domain optical coherence reflectometric sensor for highly sensitive molecular detection [PDF]
We describe what we believe to be a novel use of spectral-domain optical coherence reflectometry (SD-OCR) for highly sensitive molecular detection in real time.

Effect of Cr spacer on structural and magnetic properties of Fe/Gd multilayers [PDF]
In this work we analyse the role of a thin Cr spacer between Fe and Gd layers on structure and magnetic properties of a [Fe(35A)/Cr(tCr)/Gd(50A)/Cr(tCr)]x12 superlattice. Samples without the Cr spacer (tCr=0) and with a thin tCr=4A are investigated using

Monitoring contamination level on insulator materials under dry condition with a microwave reflectometer [PDF]
Current techniques used for monitoring the levels of contamination on high voltage insulators, such as leakage current and infrared, are not effective in dry conditions since they require the surface of the insulator to be wetted by fog, rain or snow. If

A Novel Method of Spectra Processing for Brillouin Optical Time Domain Reflectometry
A new method of Brillouin spectra post-processing, which could be applied in modern distributed optical sensors: Brillouin optical time domain analyzers/reflectometers (BOTDA/BOTDR), has been demonstrated. It operates by means of the correlation analysis

Non-trivial scaling of self-phase modulation and three-photon absorption in III-V photonic crystal waveguides [PDF]
We investigate the nonlinear response of photonic crystal waveguides with suppressed two-photon absorption. A moderate decrease of the group velocity (~ c/6 to c/15, a factor of 2.5) results in a dramatic (30x) enhancement of three-photon absorption well

A new method to measure laser phase noise and frequency stability based on the phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry is proposed. In this method, the laser under test is utilized in a phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer, which ...

Analysis of the applicability of singlemode optical fibers for measurement of deformation with distributed systems BOTDR [PDF]
Distributed optical fiber sensors allow monitoring physical effects across the whole cable. The paper presents results obtained from the performed tests and shows that single mode fibers can provide analyses of the deformation changes, when distributed ...

Standard multimode optical fibers normally support transmission over some 100 modes. Large differences in the propagation constant and the spatial distribution of distinct modes degrade the performance of phase-sensitive optical time-domain reflectometry
