Rayleigh, Brillouin and Raman scatterings in fibers result from the interaction of photons with
local material characteristic features like density, temperature and strain. For example an …

Optical fiber sensor (OFS) technologies have developed rapidly over the last few decades,
and various types of OFS have found practical applications in the field of civil engineering. In …

Brillouin scattering in optical fiber describes the interaction of an electro-magnetic field
(photon) with a characteristic density variation of the fiber. When the electric field amplitude …

A thorough analysis of the key factors impacting on the performance of Brillouin distributed
optical fiber sensors is presented. An analytical expression is derived to estimate the error …

We present a detailed overview of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in single-mode
optical fibers. The review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we discuss the …

Distributed temperature sensors (DTS) measure temperatures by means of optical fibers.
Those optoelectronic devices provide a continuous profile of the temperature distribution …

Fiber optic bio and chemical sensors have been widely studied for the past 10 years. The
availability of new types of optical fibers (such as IR fibers, photonic crystal fibers), new types …

Abstract Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing (DFOS) is one of the promising tools for structure
health monitoring. It can measure physical quantities (such as temperature, strain, and …
