A SPATIALLY DISTRIBUTED FIBER OPTIC TEMPERATURE SENSOR

Fiber Optic Temperature Sensor Fabrication Method

Fiber Optic Temperature Sensor Fabrication Method

We demonstrate the fabrication of fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) temperature sensors by bonding a small silicon diaphragm to the tip of an optical fiber using low melting point glass powders heated by a 980 nm laser on an aerogel substrate. Besides, they exhibit high measurement speeds and high sensitivity due to the large thermal diffusivity and the large thermo-optic coefficient of silicon and the small size of the sensing element. Fiber Bragg gratings are very efficient at temperature sensing and are easy to implement; however, they always need additional techniques to discriminate the Bragg shifts by temperature and by strain/compression and they also require expensive phase-masks.

Underground cable fiber optic temperature sensor

Underground cable fiber optic temperature sensor

High-resolution temperature sensing with Raman-OFDR using optical communication fiber cables shows great potential as it allows the surveillance of several kilometers of underground transport facilities without the need for installing sensing equipment in the tunnels. Underground cable monitoring is crucial for maintaining reliability and preventing failures caused by environmental and mechanical threats. By detecting issues early, it enables proactive maintenance, reducing the risk of service disruptions and costly repairs. Current temperature measurement methods, including fiber-optic-based systems (DTS and LTS), involve high costs that limit their feasibility in medium-voltage networks, where more economically accessible alternatives are required.
