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 …

This book explains physical principles, unique benefits, broad categories, implementation
aspects, and performance criteria of distributed optical fiber sensors (DOFS). For each kind …

Pipeline is an important structure to transport oil and gas through long distances. However,
pipeline also suffers from many threats especially corrosion and leakage. Therefore, it is …

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) can be understood as the integration of sensing and
intelligence to enable the structure loading and damage-provoking conditions to be …

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 …

A fully distributed optical fiber vibration sensor is demonstrated based on spectrum analysis
of Polarization-OTDR system. Without performing any data averaging, vibration disturbances …

The dependence of the Brillouin frequency shift on strain in a photonic crystal fiber (PCF)
was measured at a wavelength of 1320 nm for the first time to the authors' knowledge …

The last couple of decades had witnessed a rise in the research of optoelectronic and fiber
optical communication fields, which resulted in applications focused initially in military and …

The use of the eddy current technique (ECT) for the non-destructive testing of conducting
materials has become increasingly important in the past few years. The use of the non …

Distributed fiber optic sensors have been shown to be promising when used to monitor the
structural health of pipes. The body of work thus far has only considered pipes whose cross …
