Abstract

See full text

Fiber optic sensors based on multicore optical fibers that are intended for use in harsh environment sensing. This multicore fiber comprises an arrangement of optically coupled cores in a silica background. Sensors are fabricated by splicing a section of multicore fiber between two single mode fibers. This multicore fiber sensor is simple and repeatable to fabricate and multiple sensors can be multiplexed in a chain. These fiber optic sensors are intended for a broad set of sensing applications including temperature, pressure, strain, bending, acoustic vibrations, mechanical vibrations, or combinations thereof.
