@conference{10902/2483, year = {2009}, month = {10}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/2483}, abstract = {A simple system for sensing temperature in multiple zones based on a multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser ring is presented. Optical fiber reels are serially concatenated and divided in zones (one per sensing area). Setting the Brillouin lasing in each spool of fiber generates a characteristic wavelength that depends on the fiber properties and the temperature in the zone. Thus, it is possible to measure temperature independently and accurately through heterodyne detection between two narrow laser signals. The proposed sensor integrates the temperature along the whole spool of fiber in each zone. These real time measurements were successfully checked in our laboratory.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 2009, vol. 7503, 75030J}, publisher = {20th International Conference on Optical Fibre Sensors, Edimburgo, 2009}, title = {Multi-zone temperature sensor using a multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber ring laser}, author = {Galíndez Jamioy, Carlos Augusto and Madruga Saavedra, Francisco Javier and Ullán Nieto, Ángel and López Amo, Manuel and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
