Influence of Doping Element in Distributed Hydrogen Optical Fiber Sensors with Brillouin Scattering

Distributed hydrogen optical fiber sensor with Brillouin scattering is an innovative solution to measure hydrogen in harsh environment as nuclear industry. Glass composition is the key point to enhance the sensing parameter of the fiber in the target application. Several optical fiber with different doping element were used for measuring hydrogen saturation. Permeability of optical plays a major role to the kinetic of hydrogen diffusion. Fluorine doped fiber increase the sorption and the desorption of hydrogen.
