Fiber Bragg Gratings for Improved Fibre Lasers
Period: 2024-2026
Titel: Improvement of the direct writing technology of fiber Bragg gratings for the use in high-power sources with adjustable wavelengths for quantum technology
Abstract: Key part of the research project are random Raman fiber lasers (RRFL), which represent innovative components of a new laser platform. In order to achieve wavelength flexibility of the RRFL, the FBG direct writing process is to be further improved and upgraded for the production of the wavelength-determining elements in the RRFL.

Multiparameter Low-Level Optical Hydrogen Sensing
Period: 2021-2024
Titel: Function-optimized fiber optic sensing for the detection of low hydrogen levels with structured, palladium coated pi-shifted fiber Bragg gratings
Abstract: Palladium (Pd) has a unique hydrogen selectivity and expands as hydrogen diffuses into the material, which is coated on optical fibers. Transducing strain to the optical fiber, while the Pd expands and simultaneously monitoring the strain with temperature-decoupled high-precision pi-shifted fiber Bragg gratings enables spark-free, mostly inherent, and EM-resistant hydrogen detection on ppm-scale.

High temperature monitoring in solid oxide fuel cell
Period: 2022-2023
Titel: Measurement of Temperature Distribution in Solid Oxide Cell-Stacks
Abstract: Solid Oxide Cells (SOC) are electrochemical energy converters with an oxide-ceramic solid electrolyte that typically operate at high temperatures to achieve high efficiencies. The temperature distribution in a SOC stack has so far been difficult to measure due to the stack construction and the high temperatures (650-850 °C). Due to the merits of small size, high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, the capacity to achieve quasi-distributed sensing, and the high-temperature resistance, regenerated fiber Bragg gratings (RFBGs) are chosen to measure the temperature distribution inside SOC. Just in one fiber, multipoint RFBG temperature sensors array were fabricated and inserted into SOC-Stacks for monitoring the temperature distribution during different working conditions of SOC.

Strain Measurement in Aluminum Alloys (FBG-Aluguss)
Period: 2018-2020 (Follow-up project)
Titel: In situ strain measurement during solidification and cooling of aluminum alloys using regenerated fiber Bragg gratings
Abstract: High temperature stable regenerated fiber Bragg gratings (RFBGs) are used to measure temperature and strain at different locations during the casting process of aluminum. After the casted parts cooled down, the already embedded RFBGs are used as integrated sensors to monitor loads during operation.

Titel: Innovative arthrosis diagnostics with fiber Bragg grating based indentation suitable for endoscopic examinations
Abstract: The development of a micro-indenter system, which contains an FBG-based force sensor is intended to help surgeons to localize osteoarthritic. The dimensions in this novel setup are significantly smaller than all previous indentation devices and feasible to be integrated in an arthroscope. The research aim is to validate the concept on in vitro healthy and degenerated cartilage samples.
