An In-Reflection Strain Sensing Head Based on a Hi-Bi Photonic Crystal Fiber

A photonic crystal fiber-based sensing head is proposed for strain measurements. The sensor comprises a Hi-Bi PCF sensing head to measure interferometric signals in-reflection. An experimental background study of the sensing head is conducted through an optical backscatter reflectometer confirming t...
