Paper Abstract
We have developed optical fibers with a thin approximately 40 to 60 nm thick Lithium Niobate Layer
at the glass core and cladding boundary. These Lithium Niobate Cylinder Fibers (LNCF) are now in the
process of being commercialized as strain gauges for bridges, tunnels, pipe lines and aircraft components.
An application as a sonar sensor is also being investigated. LNCF strain sensors use light amplitude
detection rather than phase detection. Amplitude detection is easier to implement and is substantially less
costly. LNCF's when used as light amplitude sensing sonar detectors are over 1000 times more sensitive
than standard Single Mode Fibers. LNCFs use so called "Non Propagating" light modes rather than the
conventional propagating modes.
