Abstract:
According to some embodiments a fiber sensor comprises: —an optical fiber configured for operation at a wavelength from about 300 nm to about 2000 nm, and further defined by a transmission end, a another end, a fiber outer diameter and a fiber length, the fiber comprising: (a) a hybrid core comprising a single mode core portion and a multi-mode core portion; and (b) a cladding surrounding the hybrid core.

Claim (Index 13):
A fiber sensor system, comprising:\n an optical fiber configured for one of single or few mode operation at a wavelength from about 300 nm to about 2000 nm, and further defined by a transmission end, another end, a fiber outer diameter and a fiber length, the fiber comprising:\n a hybrid core comprising a multi-mode core portion and a single mode core portion, and \n a cladding surrounding the hybrid core, \n a light source configured to direct a spot of incident light into at least one portions of the core at the transmission end of the fiber; a receiver configured to receive a total backscattered signal that emanates from the hybrid core after the spot of incident light has been injected into the hybrid core at the transmission end of the fiber; and a signal interrogation element configured to process the backscattered signal to obtain a sensor measurement that corresponds to a feature in proximity to or in contact with the fiber.
