Développées depuis plus de quarante ans, les fibres optiques présentent des caractéristiques qui les rendent particulièrement attractives pour la réalisation de capteurs. L'un des points forts de ces capteurs est qu'ils peuvent mesurer différents paramètres physiques de manière distribuée sur une large gamme de longueurs (de quelques cm à des dizaines de kilomètres) avec une résolution spatiale allant du millimètre au mètre. Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons particulièrement aux capteurs à fibre distribuée, principalement basés sur des procédés de diffusion de la lumière, pour mesurer les variations de déformation. Cette revue concerne à la fois les applications nécessitant de grandes longueurs de fibre dans un contexte géologique, ainsi que celles utilisant des longueurs inférieures à un mètre pour le secteur médical. Alors que les capteurs à fibre optique distribués ont déjà montré leur grand potentiel pour les applications à longue portée, les applications à courte portée sont un secteur de niche émergeant ces dernières années.

In this article, we are particularly interested in distributed fiber sensors, mainly based on light scattering processes, for measuring strain variations. This review concerns both applications requiring long lengths of fiber in a geological context, as well as those using length less than one meter for the medical sector.

Abstract
Developed for more than forty years, optical fibers have features that make them particularly attractive for making sensors. One of the strengths of these sensors is that they can measure different physical parameters in a distributed manner over a wide range of lengths (from a few cm up to tens of kilometers) with a spatial resolution ranging from millimeters to meters. In this article, we are particularly interested in distributed fiber sensors, mainly based on light scattering processes, for measuring strain variations. This review concerns both applications requiring long lengths of fiber in a geological context, as well as those using length less than one meter for the medical sector. While distributed fiber optics sensors have already shown their great potential for long-range applications, short-range applications are a niche sector emerging in the last few years.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
