The optical fibre coating is essential to ensure high performance and reliability of the fibre. Out all polymer-coated fibres, polyimide coatings provide highest temperature rating, typically rated for use in sensing applications at 300˚C (in air), with short excursion 350˚C. In this communication, we assess whether inclusion graphene-based nanoparticles, such as graphene oxide, a can enhance durability fibres temperatures. Draw tower fabrication nanocomposite polymer described. Tensile...
A long length distributed hydrogen sensor was demonstrated for the first time, using a draw-tower fabricated optical fiber with coating that reacts exothermically in presence of air.
Draw tower fabrication of a novel optical fibre with nanocomposite polymer coating is reported. Preliminary results show it more robust to high-temperature ageing, and moisture-induced strain than standard fibres when used for distributed sensing.
