@article{10902/35172, year = {2014}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/35172}, abstract = {A distributed Bragg reflector fiber laser sensor based on a commercial high-birefringence Er-doped fiber has been proposed. The spectral overlap of two uniform fiber Bragg gratings has been employed as filtering technique to achieve a sensing head that operates in the single longitudinal mode regime. The highbirefringence Er-doped fiber has been employed to remove a polarization mode, only allowing the oscillation of a single polarization mode. In this way, a single frequency operation with a very stable laser output has been achieved. The proposed fiber laser exhibits a linear response for both strain and temperature variations, keeping the SLM regime and the polarization mode suppression.}, organization = {This work was supported by the Project TEC2010-20224-C02-02 and Grant AP2009-1403.}, publisher = {Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.}, publisher = {IEEE Journal on Selected Topics in Quantum Electronics, 2014, 20(5), 5600104}, title = {DBR fiber laser sensor with polarization mode suppression}, author = {Rodríguez Cobo, Luis and Quintela Incera, María Ángeles and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
