4 Contents 4 1. Outline of fiber optic sensing system 2. Optical fiber sensors - Embedded type - Attached type 3. Applications to the monitoring of practical civil structures - Concrete beams - Cast-in-place concrete piles - Railway tunnels - Underground mine tunnels

5 Configuration of fiber optic sensing system 5 Fiber optic sensing system Optical fiber sensor Measuring device Optical fiber itself Sensing element processed optically or mechanically so that it is sensitive to various physical quantities

6 Classification of fiber optic sensing systems 6 1. Discrete-point sensing systems (Only part of the optical fiber acts as a sensing element; the rest is used as a signal transmission line.) Optical fiber Measuring device Transmission Sensing element Only information from sensing elements 2. Distributed sensing systems (Entire optical fiber acts as both sensing element and signal transmission line.) Measuring device Optical fiber Transmission and sensing Information from everywhere along the fiber

7 Typical discrete-point sensing systems 7 Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) system Optical loss conversion sensing system Bragg grating Clad Core Optical fiber Bending Measuring device Sensing element Optical fiber Measuring device Sensing element Displacement - Filter sensor - Strain/temperature measurement based on frequency shift reflected from FBG - Displacement measurement based on attenuation in this part of the optical fiber

8 Distributed sensing system 8 Distributed sensing system - information at effectively continuous points along the fiber - some variations depending on the combination of (i) physical phenomenon used for measurement and (ii) method used for determining measurement position in the optical fiber. Some distributed strain/temperature measuring devices are commercially available.

9 Physical phenomena used to measure strain/temperature 9 Scattered light power Incident light 11 GHz Rayleigh scattering (loss measurement) Brillouin scattering (strain and temperature measurement) Raman scattering (temperature measurement) Intensity change Frequency shift 13 THz Optical frequency

10 Method of determining observed position in optical fiber 10 - Scattered light power spectrum & position where it is produced - OTDR: Optical Time Domain Reflectometry Pulsed light launched Core Clad Optical fiber Backscattered light t t Pulsed light position (position where light is scattered) - Light scattering position is determined from light velocity and elapsed time from launch to detection - By sampling elapsed time at short intervals, we can obtain distributed measurement of scattered light power spectrum every few centimeters.

11 Power spectrum along optical fiber obtained by BOTDR 11 Brillouin backscattered light power Optical fiber Distance 0 Pulsed light launching Brillouin backscattered light Strain ε 0 Strained section Optical frequency Pulsed light Δz Receiver BOTDR Light source Power spectrum at each distance strain ε Peak power frequency: ν B (ε), ν B (0) z 1 ν B (ε) ν B (ε) = ν B (0) + C s ε z 2 ν B (0) C s : Coefficient (strain frequency shift)
