Solid Core Photonic Band Gap Fiber with Higher Index Glass and a Background Material of Phase Separable Porous Glass with a Lower Refractive Index

VTIP:10-067

A Solid Core Photonic Band Gap fiber with high index glass and a background material of porous phase separable glass with a lower refractive index was created. This fiber should also be able to be used for gas sensing due to its porous background material. The constructive reduction ...

Optical Sensor for On-line, Real-time Analysis of Chemical Gases Dissolved in Transformer Oil

VTIP:10-059

Because the invented sensors are immune to electromagnetic interference and can also resist the huge electric stress inside high voltage transformers, they can be installed much closer to the fault sources than current other systems do, which makes the analysis more accurate and prompt. Since the new sensors are ...

N-type and P-type Doped Silicon Optical Fiber

VTIP:10-037

An n-type and p-type silicone optical fibers have demonstrated. The fiber is fabricated by drawing from a powder-in-tube type perform. Outside Diameters in the range of several hundred microns have been made with core diameters in the range of tens of microns. Fibers fabricated have a polycrystalline ...

A High-Speed Discrete Optical Spectrum Analyzer

VTIP:07-057

High-speed spectrum analyzers or spectrometers are the key components for fiber-optic sensor signal processing. In recent years, many new fiber-optic sensor with high response frequency e.g. the pressure sensor for turbine engine, have been developed. However, the low speed of the existing spectrometers limit the applications of these ...

Fiber Optic Sensors for Fully Distributed Magnetic Field Sensing

VTIP:07-047

Currently there are no technologies that are capable of fully-distributed magnetic field measurement. This invention is related to a fiber optic sensor system that can be used for fully-distributed measurement of the magnetic field. The sensing element is a specially designed single mode fiber which can be batch ...
