Title: Fluorescence lifetime effects in distributed optical fiber chemical sensing
Author(s): Sinchenko, E.; Gibbs, W. E. K.; Stoddart, P. R.
Abstract: Distributed optical fiber sensing by evanescent field excitation of a fluorescent region surrounding the fiber core is of interest for monitoring large-scale chemical distributions. A model to characterize the response of a distributed fluorescence sensor to Gaussian input pulses has been developed and experimentally validated. The model allows the fluorescence lifetime to be determined and the spatial resolution of the system to be improved in cases where the fluorescent lifetime is longer than the resolution of the sensing system.
