Sapphire Photonic Crystal Fiber Sensor
Mohan Wang, Tongyu Liu, Zipei Song +10
Sapphire optical fiber shows great promise for remote sensing in extreme environments approaching 2000 degC, by using laser-processing to form a single-mode waveguide within it. Ho…

High-precision optical fiber sensing beyond 1000°C
Mohan Wang, Patrick S. Salter, Frank P. Payne +10
Sapphire fiber can withstand around 2000°C, but it is multimoded, giving poor precision sensors. We demonstrate a single-mode sapphire fiber Bragg grating temperature sensor operat…
