Publication number: 20130136857Abstract: An optical fiber recoating apparatus employs a variable size applicator for depositing a coating material in liquid form onto a portion of varying diameter optical fiber. The coating material is applied to the variable size applicator which is in continuous contact about the circumference of the optical fiber. At a constant speed the variable size applicator moves along the length of the optical fiber while simultaneously changing size to conform to the varying diameter of the optical fiber for applying a uniform coating thereto.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2012Publication date: May 30, 2013Applicant: Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of IndustryInventors: Chantal Blanchetiere, Sarkis Jacob, Xiaoli Dai, Huimin Ding

Patent number: 8402789Abstract: A method of producing a thermally stable grating allows the grating to be placed in environments where temperatures reach 1000° C. These gratings may be concatenated so as to form a sensor array. The method requires a step of lowering the characteristic intensity threshold of a waveguide by at least 25%, followed by irradiating the waveguide with femtosecond pulses of light having a sufficient intensity and for a sufficient duration to write the grating so that at least 60% of the grating remains after exposures of at least 10 hours at a temperature of at least 1000° C. Pre-writing a Type I grating before writing a minimal damage Type II grating lowers the characteristic threshold of the waveguide so that a stable low damage type II grating can be written; alternatively providing a hydrogen or deuterium loaded waveguide before writing the grating lowers the characteristic threshold of the waveguide.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2012Date of Patent: March 26, 2013Assignee: Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada, as Represented by the Minister of Industry, Through the Communications Research Centre CanadaInventors: Christopher W.

Patent number: 7567734Abstract: An optical sensor for sensing information relating to an analyte liquid or gas, has a a planar substrate having a refractive index nc. The planar substrate supports a ridge waveguide having an unclad top portion having a refractive index nr. The substrate serves as cladding layer for the ridge waveguide at a location where the ridge waveguide contacts the substrate. A Bragg grating inscribed in the ridge waveguide has two modes for providing information relating to both temperature and refractive index of the surrounding analyte liquid or gas. A cladding mode has a different response to the analyte when compared to a Bragg resonance response. Both modes have a same reaction to temperature, wherein said Bragg grating is formed within the unclad region of ridge waveguide, wherein nc.<nr. Advantageously multiple parameters can be sensed using only a single Bragg grating.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2008Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Her Majesty the Queen in right of Canada, as represented by the Minister of Industry, through the Communications Research Centre CanadaInventors: Xiaoli Dai, Stephen J.

Patent number: 7483615Abstract: Fiber Bragg gratings were written in pure silica photonic crystal fibers and photonic crystal fiber tapers with 125 fs, 800 nm IR radiation. High reflectivites were achieved with short exposure times in the tapers. Both multimode and single mode grating reflections were achieved in the fiber tapers. By tapering the photonic crystal fibers scattering that would otherwise have occurred was lessened and light external to the fiber could reach the core effectively to write a grating.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2007Date of Patent: January 27, 2009Assignee: Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada as represented by the Minister of Industry, through the Communications Research Centre CanadaInventors: Stephen J.
