We have developed a newly sensing technique by which we can measure strain or temperature along an optical fiber with the high spa tial resolution of less than 1 mm. This fiber-optic distributed sensing technique is based on optical frequency domain reflectomet ry and it can map strain or temperature profiles along fiber Bragg grating. In this paper, the principle of this technique, distri buted strain sensing with the high spatial resolution and the applications to strain measurements of welded joints are...

Study on Fiber-Optic Distributed Sensing Technique with High Spatial Resolution

FOD (Fiber Optical Doppler) sensor, that can measure elastic wave in wide-band frequency, has been developed, which utilizes Laser Doppler effect within an optical fiber. In particular, FOD sensor can detect Acoustic Emission (AE), which is a useful parameter to monitor in-situ damage at various industrial equipments. AE is caused mainly by very initial micro-crack within a structural material due to over-stress, material-aging, etc. When taking advantage of fiber-optics, that are long signal transmi...
