@conference{10902/18304, year = {2019}, month = {8}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/18304}, abstract = {In this work, we present an experimental measurement of temperature and strain sensitivities of a micro-drilled optical fiber (MDOF). The MDOF consisted of a quasi-randomly distributed reflector along a single mode fiber (SMF). A fiber cavity laser based on MDOF was experimentally studied, attaining a single-wavelength laser emission centered at 1568.6nm. The output power level obtained from this single-laser oscillation when pumped at 140mW was around - 9.6dBm, and an optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) of around 45dB was measured. Although temperature sensitivities of fiber Bragg gratings used as sensors are similar to our MDOF, strain sensitivity is enhanced around one order of magnitude when the MDOF was used.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Spanish AEI TEC2016-76021-C2, FEDER Funds, and the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 838143.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 2019, 11199, 111992R}, publisher = {Seventh European Workshop on Optical Fibre Sensors (EWOFS 2019), Limassol, Chipre, 2019}, title = {Micro-drilled optical fiber for enhanced laser strain sensors}, author = {Pérez Herrera, Rosa Ana and Bravo Acha, Mikel and Roldán Varona, Pablo and Leandro González, Daniel and Rodríguez Cobo, Luis and López Higuera, José Miguel and López-Amo Sainz, Manuel}, }
