In this paper, an on-line bending loss measurement system is studied and realized. To avoid complicated calculation of fiber bending loss, we propose a simplified theoretical model for on-line evaluation. A specific fiber adaptor is developed for light signal feeding and picking up through a free space optical fiber coupling technique. Relevant factors, including free space fiber misalignment, are considered. The signal-to-noise ratio of the whole system is improved by optimizing the spatial perturbation length of the fiber and the deformation of the bending fiber. The use of an on-line monitoring technique for measuring the bending loss of optical fibers is presented in this paper. With this technique, manufacturing efficiency can be improved, and the cost of maintaining fiber quality control can be reduced. 相似文献

We demonstrate a new method for measuring changes in temperature distribution caused by coupling a high-power laser beam into an optical fiber and by splicing two fibers. The measurement technique is based on interrogating a fiber Bragg grating by using low-coherence spectral interferometry. A large temperature change is found owing to coupling of a high-power laser into a multimode fiber and to splicing of two multimode fibers. Measurement of the temperature profile rather than the average temperature along the grating allows study of the cause of fiber heating. The new measurement technique enables us to monitor in real time the temperature profile in a fiber without the affecting system operation, and it might be important for developing and improving the reliability of high-power fiber components. 相似文献

We demonstrate a simple method to extend the measurable fiber length with a fiber-optic low-coherence technique. This method is based on a cascaded structure of multistage fiber delay line laid in one arm of the low-coherence technique. By choosing different individual stages in the cascaded fiber delay line, the length of the fiber under test can be continuously measured with a different measurement range. The measurement range of 0.81 km and spatial resolution of 60 μm are successfully realized. 相似文献

Optical microelectromechanical system pressure sensors based on the principle of Fabry-Perot interferometry have been developed and fabricated using the technique of silicon-to-silicon anodic bonding. The pressure sensor is then integrated onto an optical fiber by a novel technique of anodic bonding without use of any adhesives. In this anodic bonding technique we use ultrathin silicon of thickness 10 microm to bond the optical fiber to the sensor head. The ultrathin silicon plays the role of a stress-reducing layer, which helps the bonding of an optical fiber to silicon having conventional wafer thickness. The pressure-sensing membrane is formed by 8 microm thick ultrathin silicon acting as a membrane, thus eliminating the need for bulk silicon etching. The pressure sensor integrated onto an optical fiber is tested for static response, and experimental results indicate degradation in the fringe visibility of the Fabry-Perot interferometer. This effect was mainly due to divergent light rays from the fiber degrading the fringe visibility. This effect is demonstrated in brief by an analytical model. 相似文献

A new low-amplitude filtering technique has been developed for the identification of fiber breakage in fiber reinforced plastics from acoustic emission data. In this approach, the acoustic emission hits associated with fiber breakage are separated from the hits associated with other failure mechanisms by filtering out the low amplitude hits from the measured data. The lowest remaining amplitude upon the cumulative plot of the remaining hits vs. load coinciding with the cumulative signal strength vs. load plot is taken as the borderline between fiber breakage hits and non-fiber breakage hits. Experiments were conducted on unidirectional-fiber specimens and complex-fiber specimens to examine the efficacy of the proposed technique. Evaluation of the experimental results by visual inspection and extensive scanning electron microscope studies verifies the low-amplitude filtering technique as a reliable tool for identifying fiber breakage in fiber reinforced plastics. 相似文献

Composite processing strongly affects the size of lignocellulosic fibers, and consequently the mechanical properties of the final product. Using a reliable method for the analysis of fiber length and diameter distributions is thus crucial for the understanding of fiber behavior during processing. In this study, three different techniques, X-ray microtomography, 2D scanning and automated fiber analyzer, were compared in terms of their reliability for the characterization of dimensions of two kinds of lignocellulosic fibers, hemp and miscanthus, in polymer-natural fiber composites. Statistical analysis was employed to interpret fiber size distributions. The study confirmed that interpreting the dimensions of natural fiber is still a difficult task. The inherent limitations of the measuring methods make each technique complementary to the others in terms of length scale. The choice of the technique is, therefore, strictly dependent on fiber dimensions and the aim of the work. 相似文献

In this paper we present a new method for estimating the bandwidth of multimode optical fibers based on the frequency correlation function of the speckle patterns generated by the interference of fiber modes. This technique, which does not require a pulse or signal generator, can be utilized to estimate the bandwidth of a multimode fiber using a relatively short length of fiber. By applying this method to a test fiber we obtained a bandwidth of approximately 36 MHz km which is in relatively good agreement with the approximately 44-MHz x km bandwidth measured by a conventional pulsed technique. 相似文献

Fusion splicing of polarization preserving fibers 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Kato Y 《Applied optics》1985,24(15):2346-2350
A novel technique is developed to detect any principal axis misalignment of polarization preserving fiber. The technique is based on measurement of reflect-returned power for the fiber oputput endface that is depolarized by the birefringence of the fiber. It is confirmed theoretically and experimentally that principal axis alignments of 0 and 45 degrees can be successfully made only by minimizing and maximizing the monitoring level, respectively. On the basis of the alignment method, a fusion splicing technique is proposed for polarization preserving fibers. It is confirmed theoretically and experimentally that all principal axes alignment, core axis alignment, and splices loss estimations can be simply and sequentially attained with the present technique. Using the technique, +/-0.5 degree angular alignment resolution and +/-0.05-dB splice loss estimation accuracy are satisfactorily achieved. 相似文献

A finite difference technique is developed to predict the second stage creep displacement rates and stress analysis of a short fiber metal matrix composite subjecting to a constant axial load through a micromechanical approach. The technique is capable to take into account the presence of interfacial debonding as one of the main factors affecting the creep performance of short fiber composites. The exponential law is adopted to describe the matrix creep behavior. Also, a model for prediction of interfacial debonding at fiber/matrix interface is developed using a stress based method. The obtained results could greatly help to better understand the flow pattern of matrix material and the load transfer mechanism between fiber and matrix with and without the presence of interfacial debond. The predicted strain rate by the proposed approach exhibits good agreement with the experimental results. 相似文献

The generation and detection of longitudinal guided waves in thin fibers using a conical transformer
Atkinson D Hayward G 《IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control》2001,48(4):1046-1053
This paper describes a technique to couple ultrasonic energy from a piezoceramic disc transducer into a fiber waveguide to induce longitudinal propagation. A polymer cone is utilized to bond the fiber waveguide onto the surface of the disc and to behave as a mechanical transformer, converting lateral displacements at its base into longitudinal displacements at its apex. Wideband finite element analysis (FEA) results are provided to show that the bond efficiently couples the radial modes of a disc transducer into fiber waveguides for longitudinal mode excitation. Furthermore, narrowband FEA is utilized to investigate how the geometry and material properties of the bond and waveguide influence the coupling efficiency. The technique is then quantified in terms of signal-to-coherent noise ratio (SCNR), reflecting its ability to generate the desired longitudinal waveguide mode and reject erroneous modes. Finally, design parameters are outlined for the successful implementation of this technique 相似文献

Characterization of fiber orientation in short fiber reinforced composites with an image processing technique 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
An experimental method is developed to measure the three-dimensional fiber orientation in short fiber reinforced composites
by utilizing an image processing technique. The second order orientation tensor can be calculated with geometrical data that
were obtained from two parallel planar cross-sections. The orientation state of individual fibers is determined from the geometry
of the elliptical cross-sectional shape on the polished surface. The basic concept in determining the three-dimensional fiber
orientation tensor is to slice the composite sample twice in the same direction within a small distance. The tensor is determined
by using a digital image processing technique and a computational code which calculates the tensor from the geometrical characteristics
obtained for the elliptical fiber cross-sections. Experiments are performed to measure the three-dimensional orientation tensor
of composite specimens and good results are obtained by using the method proposed in this study

Thermal characteristics of optical pulse transit time delay and fiber strain in a single-mode optical fiber cable are investigated theoretically and experimentally. Measurements of the transit time delay shift are made by a spatial interference technique using a 1.5-in long fiber, six-fiber unit, and cable. Experimental results for a jacketed fiber whose fiber axis is well centered in nylon coating are in good agreement with those predicted from the theory. A jacketed fiber whose fiber axis is positioned eccentrically from the jacket center exhibits a small change in fiber strain at low temperature due to fiber buckling compared with that for the well-centered jacketed fiber. The loss increase for the off-centered jacketed fiber is explained by the buckling model. Furthermore, thermal characteristics of the unit-type cable examined here are found to coincide with those for the constituent six-fiber unit. 相似文献

Interferometric optical time-domain reflectometry for distributed optical-fiber sensing 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The technique of optical time-domain reflectometry is analyzed to determine the effect of an optical phase modulation on light backscattered in an optical fiber. It is shown that the spatial distribution along the fiber of an external phase modulation can be measured with a spatial resolution close to that of optical time-domain reflectometry. A distributed interferometric sensor arrangement that employs this technique is investigated experimentally, and a satisfactory interrogation of more than 1000 resolution intervals is demonstrated. 相似文献

This paper presents a measurement technique of interfacial strength considering non-rigid bonding on a fiber/matrix interface modeled as a cohesive surface. By focusing on the stress concentration near a fiber crack obtained from a single-fiber fragmentation test, the stress contours in matrix observed by photoelasticity can be related to the interfacial strength by defining a characteristic length. An equation expressing the relationship between the characteristic length on the stress contour and the interfacial strength was derived, and validated using finite element analysis. The primary advantage of proposed measurement technique is that only a single fiber crack, which usually occurs within elastic deformation of matrix, is required for the evaluation of interfacial strength, whereas saturated fiber fragmentation is necessary in the conventional method. Herein, a sample application was demonstrated using a single carbon fiber and epoxy specimen, and an average interfacial strength of 23.8 MPa was successfully obtained. 相似文献

We analyze the dual random phase encoding technique in the temporal domain to evaluate its potential application for secure data transmission in fiber optic links. To take into account the optical fiber multiplexing capabilities, the noise content of the signal is restricted when multiple channels are transmitted over a single fiber optic link. We also discuss some mechanisms for producing encoded time-limited as well as bandwidth-limited signals and a comparison with another recently proposed technique is made. Numerical simulations have been carried out to analyze the system performance. The results indicate that this multiplexing encryption method could be a good alternative compared with other well-established methods. 相似文献

Miniature fiber-optic pressure sensor with a polymer diaphragm 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The fabrication and experimental investigation of a miniature optical fiber pressure sensor for biomedical and industrial applications are described. The sensor measures only 125 microm in diameter. The essential element is a thin polymer diaphragm that is positioned inside the hollow end of an optical fiber. The cavity at the fiber end is made by a simple and effective micromachining process based on wet etching in diluted HF acid. Thus a Fabry-Perot interferometer is formed between the inner fiber-cavity interface and the diaphragm. The fabrication technique is described in detail. Different sensor prototypes were fabricated upon 125 microm-diameter optical fiber that demonstrated pressure ranges from 0 to 40 and from 0 to 1200 kPa. A resolution of less than 10 Pa was demonstrated in practice. The fabrication technique presented facilitates production of simple and low-cost disposable pressure sensors by use of materials with that ensure the required biocompatibility. 相似文献
