This sensor was designed to respond to the Acoustic Emissions (AE) resulting from the discharges, using a mandrel-shaped transducer with an FBG attached to its surface. We obtained the frequency response of the sensor and compared to the response of a piezoelectric hydrophone. While the hydrophone responded to 50 and 200 kHz, the optical sensor responded to 16 and 40 kHz. We also generated PD using two types of electrodes connected to a sparkler, measuring AE with the FBG and with the hydrophone. We observed that the optical sensor and piezoelectric have similar responses, confirming the feasibility of the proposed transducer.","PeriodicalId":175865,"journal":{"name":"2019 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129993540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The resulting micrometer-structured beam is expected to serve as laser beams for optical trapping and manipulation of small particles, atom guiding, photophoretictrap and holographic volumetric displays, micromachining, 2D and 3D imaging and printing, among others.

Equivalent electrical models for the inductors and capacitors in this technology were developed and used for filter optimization taking into account parasitic effects. Filter layout simulations have indicated that a suitable combination of planar spiral inductors and cross inductors reduces the filter area but preserves its performance.
