Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrasensitive vector bending sensor based on multicore optical fiber.
Joel Villatoro,Amy Van Newkirk,Enrique Antonio-Lopez,Joseba Zubia,Axel Schülzgen,Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa +5 more
TL;DR: The authors' MCF bending sensor was found to be highly sensitive (4094 pm/deg) to small bending angles and it is capable of distinguishing multiple bending orientations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bending sensor combining multicore fiber with a mode-selective photonic lantern
Amy Van Newkirk,Jose Enrique Antonio-Lopez,A. M. Velazquez-Benitez,Jacques Albert,Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa,Axel Schülzgen +5 more
TL;DR: A bending sensor is demonstrated using the combination of a mode-selective photonic lantern (PL) and a multicore fiber, which reveals a high sensitivity to bending curvature and differential power distributions according to bending direction, without the need for spectral measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of multicore fiber for high-temperature sensing
Amy Van Newkirk,Enrique Antonio-Lopez,G. Salceda-Delgado,Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa,Axel Schülzgen +4 more
TL;DR: Through simulation, this work has optimized the multicore fiber design for sharp spectral features and high overall transmission in the optical communications window and allowed determination of the thermo-optic coefficient of the MCF as a function of temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicore Fiber Sensors for Simultaneous Measurement of Force and Temperature
Amy Van Newkirk,J. Enrique Antonio-Lopez,G. Salceda-Delgado,Mohammad Umar Piracha,Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa,Axel Schülzgen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a force and temperature sensor consisting of a multicore fiber (MCF) spliced between two single-mode fibers is demonstrated, with robust operation up to 1000 °C, making it more suitable than FBGs for extreme environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modal analysis of antiresonant hollow core fibers using S 2 imaging
Amy Van Newkirk,Jose Enrique Antonio-Lopez,James Anderson,Roberto Alvarez-Aguirre,Zeinab Sanjabi Eznaveh,Gisela Lopez-Galmiche,Rodrigo Amezcua-Correa,Axel Schülzgen +7 more
TL;DR: This study analyzes the higher-order core mode content in various designs of antiresonant hollow core fibers using spatially and spectrally resolved imaging to help in understanding the core modes of hollow core fiber and possible methods of controlling them.
