Optical Fiber Hydrophone Using Polymer-Coated Fiber Bragg Grating

Optical Fiber Sensors, 2006
In this work, new fiber optic hydrophone based on the intensity modulation of the laser light in a FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) under the influence of the sound pressure is experimental proved. In order to increase the sensitivity, the FBG has been coated with a proper material, characterized by an elastic modulus much lower than the fiber one.

Studies of Polymer Optical Fibers

Organic Thin Films for Photonic Applications, 1995
The growing demands in local area networks (LANs) for low cost broad band data communications are providing a major opportunity for further technology developments important to polymer optical materials and devices. Polymer optical fibers (POF) can satisfy requirements for high-bandwidth, quick-connect, fiber optics for short distance (100 m) data ...

Building polymer fiber optic network

SPIE Proceedings, 2015
The paper describes an investigation of transmission in LAN with using polymer optical fiber (POF). There were used two kinds of POF, step index plastic optical fiber (SI-POF) and graded index plastic optical fiber (GI-POF). Furthermore, the paper include a comparison between SI-POF and GI-POF and possibilities of using them.

Polymer Optical Fiber Bragg Gratings

Optics and Photonics News, 2005
Silica-based optical fiber Bragg gratings are important in optical signal processing, but they have the disadvantage of being difficult to tune. Now, researchers have developed polymer optical fiber Bragg gratings that can fulfill most of the functions of their silica counterparts, plus greater tunability.

Single-mode polymer optical fibers

2014 16th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), 2014
The mechanical properties of polymer optical fibers (POF) make them very interesting candidates for fiber optical sensors. Today POFs are mainly used for short range data communication. These fibers have a very large core of 980 μm. This large core is beneficial for handling and maintenance in fiber networks.

Modeling of Polymer Optical Fibers

2013
The idea of this chapter is to give a complete overview on a matrix approach to describe light propagation in strongly multimode fibers such as 1-mm diameter plastic optical fibers. These large core fibers accept such a huge number of travelling modes that they can be viewed as a continuum.
