Title: | Laser-optical fiber Bragg grating anemometer for measuring gas flows: application to measuring the electric wind | Contributor(s): | Lamb, D (author); Hooper, A (author) | Publication Date: | 2006 | DOI: | 10.1364/OL.31.001035 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/125 | Abstract: | A novel laser-optical fiber Bragg grating anemometer (FBGA) has been devised for measuring the speed of a moving gas in the range 0-1.5ms‑1. As a test, the FBGA was applied to measuring the speed of the electric wind generated in the particularly harsh, high-voltage environment of a dc, negative-polarity, partial (corona) discharge in atmospheric air. The instrument proved more stable and yielded an order-of-magnitude improvement in sensitivity (Δv≈4×10‑3ms‑1) compared with other optical-fiber-based anemometers. On-axis wind speeds ranging from zero to 1.1ms‑1 were measured in the vicinity of the corona discharge. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Optics Letters, 31(8), p. 1035-1037 | Publisher: | Optical Society of America | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 1539-4794 0146-9592 |
