Abstract

Optical fiber specklegram sensors explore the spatiotemporal properties of the speckle pattern projected from a multimode fiber due to the interference between the several propagating modes. Albeit their apparent noisy nature, the speckle fields carry detailed and reproducible information about the fiber status. Specklegram changes can be analyzed to obtain very sensitive measurements with simple interrogation schemes. In this paper, different setups of fiber specklegram sensors for assessing the physical and chemical properties of liquids, such as refractive index, viscosity, and evaporation rate, are presented. The experiments are carried out using both silica multimode fibers and structured waveguides, whereas the output speckle fields are processed by means of correlation and image processing techniques.
