Fiber Optic Sensor Experiment in Physics
In this lab we will evaluate basic techniques for preparing fibers for use in optical systems, numerical aperture measurements, and coupling light into fibers. These procedures will be used in most subsequent laboratories and will have a large effect on your experimental . Jose Miguel Lopez-Higuera: Handbook of Optical Fiber Sensing Technology, John Wiley & Sons, 2002. At present, there are many types fiber optic sensor, including fiber grating sensors, distributed fiber optic sensors, fiber optic interferometer sensors, etc. This manual contains ten laboratory experiments to be performed by students taking the optical fiber communication course (EE 420). Fiber optics carries signals as pulses of light while copper cables carry signals as pulses of electrons.
