Fiber Optic Sensor Development (377b)
(Back to main topic page)

Understanding optical phenomena in optical fibers:

  • Design fiber refractive index profiles for specific performance characteristics
  • Calculate modal propagation constants for confined and leaky modes
  • Determine transmittance properties (spectral and dispersion)
  • Characterize photonic bandgap structures
  • Design modal coupling devices
    • Bragg gratings, long period gratings, and biconical tapers
  • Design sensors
    • Interferometric, modal coupling, evanescent wave, intensity-based
