{"title":"Material removal rate fiber optic corrosion sensor","authors":"A. Trego, E. Haugse, E. Udd","doi":"10.1117/12.323422","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1117/12.323422","url":null,"abstract":"Fiber Bragg grating sensors generally consist of a single grating written in a low-birefringent optical fiber. The wavelength shift of the peak in the reflected spectrum from these sensors can be used to measure a single component of strain or a change in temperature [Lawrence, 1997]. Fibers are also available with a significant enough birefringence to maintain the polarization state along great lengths and through many turns. This 'polarization maintaining' fiber is commercially available through several companies and in several configurations (including different cladding material and wavelength shift). The grating usually extends approximately 3 mm - 5 m in length. Udd gives a detailed explanation of fiber optics, Bragg gratings and birefringence [Udd, 1991]. As light from an LED is passed through the fiber, only the wavelength consistent with the grating period will be reflected back towards the source. All other wavelengths will pass through. The reflected spectrum will shift as the fiber is strained along its axis at the grating location. Strain or temperature changes at any other location have negligible effect on the wavelength encoded data output. When the Fiber Bragg grating single-axis sensor (termed fiber hereafter) is strained transversely the wavelength will separate into two distinct peaks according to a mathematical relationship defined by Lawrence and Nelson [Lawrence, Nelson et al. 96]. Using these Fiber Bragg grating fibers a corrosion sensor which measures the rate of material was developed. The principle behind this newly developed corrosion sensor is to pre-stress the fiber with a known load. The load is applied by inducing a uniform hoop stress through pressure fitted cylinders around the fiber. This induced stress creates a broadening of the reflected spectrum until the bifurcation of the reflected intensity peaks is distinguishable. As the material from the outer cylinder corrodes away the applied stress will be relieved. Finally, when no load is achieved, the reflected spectrum will have a single peak centered around the nominal Bragg grating wavelength. If a polarizing-maintaining 3-axis grating is used then the sensor would be even more sensitive, having two distinct peaks in each wavelength regime which shift.","PeriodicalId":293004,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Northwest Fiber Optic Sensor","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131581210","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 sensor uses a combination of Mach-Zehnder and Sagnac interferometers that share the same fiber. The output of the Sagnac interferometer is proportional to the product of the position where the disturbance was applied and the magnitude of the disturbance. The output of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is a function of the disturbance magnitude only. The position and magnitude of a disturbance applied to the sensing fiber can thus be obtained from these two signals. Results obtained with a 200 m distributed fiber sensor are discussed.","PeriodicalId":293004,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Northwest Fiber Optic Sensor","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121787991","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}

A unique interrogation technique is used which produces a 32-bit phase word, giving the system a dynamic range greater than 109. Therefore, a displacement resolution of less than 0.01 nm can be achieved with a full range of 6 mm. The measurement range can be extended beyond 10 m by simply adjusting the digital fringe counter and sacrificing resolution yet maintaining the greater than 109 dynamic range. Demodulation rates of 40 kHz have been achieved which facilitates dynamic measurements. Results from an application to hard disk (HD) profilometry are presented.","PeriodicalId":293004,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Northwest Fiber Optic Sensor","volume":"573 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117200910","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 intrinsic optical phase shift induced by changes in temperature is measured in both a reference canister and a sample canister. This system incorporates two Michelson interferometers each with an optical path mismatch of 1.6 km. A digital demodulation scheme is used which produces a 32 bit phase word which tracks up to 500,000 fringes with a resolution of 10-4 fringe, giving the system a dynamic range greater than 109. Both interferometers are demodulated simultaneously at a rate of 83 kHz. The phase difference between the reference and sample interferometers is proportional to the temperature difference between the canisters and therefore correlates to the power produced by the sample in question. The optical system performance will be described along with preliminary calorimetric measurement results.","PeriodicalId":293004,"journal":{"name":"Pacific Northwest Fiber Optic Sensor","volume":"56 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114776961","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}
