In this paper, a novel pendulum-type accelerometer based on hetero-core fiber optics has been proposed for structural health monitoring targeting large-scale civil infrastructures. Vibration measurement is a non-destructive method for diagnosing the failure of structures by assessing natural frequencies and other vibration patterns. The hetero-core fiber optic sensor utilized in the proposed accelerometer can serve as a displacement sensor with robustness to temperature changes, in addition to immunity to electromagnetic interference and chemical corrosions. Thus, the hetero-core sensor inside the accelerometer measures applied acceleration by detecting the rotation of an internal pendulum. A series of experiments showed that the hetero-core fiber sensor linearly responded to the rotation angle of the pendulum ranging within (−6°, 4°), and furthermore the proposed accelerometer could reproduce the waveform of input vibration in a frequency band of several Hz order.

A series of experiments showed that the hetero-core fiber sensor linearly responded to the rotation angle of the pendulum ranging within ±5°, and furthermore the proposed accelerometer could reproduce the waveform of input vibration in a frequency band of several Hz order.

Vibration measurement of CNC milling is one of the used techniques for prediction of tool wear. Monitoring of tool wear is very important since a worn tool will affect machine and workpiece either. We developed a fiber-optic sensor for spindle vibration of CNC face-milling machine. The sensor is based on monitoring loss of light from the fiber core. For this sensor a laser light transmitter circuit, a sense plane construction, and a light receiver circuit are designed. Designed fiber-optic sensor is tested on Taksan TMC 650V face-milling machine. Obtained signals from this sensor is investigated in time domain and frequency domain and showed that it is valuable to tool ware monitoring.

Abstract In this work, a fiber-optic fluoride-ion-detection Michelson interferometer based on the thin-core fiber (TCF) and no-core fiber (NCF) coated with α-Fe2O3/ZrO2 sensing film is proposed and presented. The single-mode fiber (SMF) is spliced with the TCF and NCF in turn, and a waist-enlarged taper is spliced between them. Then, a silver film is plated on the end face of NCF to enhance the reflection. After the absorption of fluoride ion by the sensing film, the effective refractive index (RI) of the coated cladding will change, which leads to the regular red shift of the interference dip with the increasing fluoride-ion concentration. Thus, the fluoride-ion concentrations can be determined according to the corresponding dip wavelength shifts. The results show that the sensor has an excellent linear response (R 2 = 0.995) with good sensitivity (8.970 nm/ppm) when the fluoride-ion concentration is in the range of 0–1.5 ppm. The response time is about 15 s. The sensor has the advantage of good selectivity, good temperature and pH stabilities, and can be applied to detect fluoride ion effectively.

Abstract An intensity modulated fiber-optic carbon monoxide (CO) sensor by integrating in-situ solvothermal-growth Ag/Co-MOF sensing film is fabricated and evaluated. The Michelson interference sensing structure is composed of single-mode fiber (SMF), enlarged taper, thin-core fiber (TCF), and Ag film as the reflector. Ag/Co-MOF was coated on the cladding of the TCF as the sensing material, and the enlarged taper is located between TCF and SMF as the coupler. The structure, morphology, compositions and thermal stability of the Ag/Co-MOF sensing film were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), etc. The sensitivity of the sensor is 0.04515 dB/ppm, and the fitting parameter of the CO concentration is 0.99876. In addition, the sensor has the advantages of good selectivity, good signal and temperature stability, and it has potential application in trace CO detection.
