| Acronym: INITIATE |
| Main Objective: Modelling and improve the theoretical understanding of new geometries of POF. Fabrication of the PFBG with different geometries. Development of innovative devices for low-cost passive all-optical processing using PFBG namely: i) a POF fiber laser; ii) a fiber polarization controller; iii) an high tunable optical filter and wavelength division multiplexer (WDM). Development of new techniques for splicing of POF using the self-written waveguides approach. Design and development of new sensors based on PFBG. Two applications are envisaged: i) develop a smart textile with embedded PFBGs; ii) develop novel chemical optical fiber sensors for water quality assessment. Experimental evaluation and assessment of the proposed solutions with the presentation of prototypes. |
