Title
Measurement Of Large-Strain Dependence Of Optical Propagation Loss In Perfluorinated Polymer Fibers For Use In Seismic Diagnosis
Abstract
Brillouin scattering in perfluorinated graded-index (PFGI-) polymer optical fibers (POFs) has been extensively studied for structural health monitoring, including seismic diagnosis. Here, we measure the propagation loss of PFGI-POFs at telecom wavelengths as a function of large applied strain (up to 100%) at three optical powers and as a function of strain rate at a constant optical power. The strain dependence of the propagation loss in PFGI-POFs is found to be independent of the incident power (<27 dBm) and the strain rate (<500% s(-1)), indicating that PFGI-POF-based Brillouin sensors are potentially applicable to actual seismic monitoring.
