Abstract [en]
The paper describes the fabrication of two nanocomposite (NC) coated optical fibers, and their use to enhance the capabilities of distributed fiber sensing. The fibers are produced in a conventional optical fiber draw tower. NC coated fibers with reduced graphene oxide were shown to have enhanced mechanical durability at elevated temperatures and have a low humidity sensitivity compared to standard polyimide coated fibers. NC coated fibers with hydrogen-sensitive materials were shown to enable distributed hydrogen leak detection, in a configuration that is scalable to long lengths.
