The fiber optic sensor system for chemical vapor detection was desiged and constructed. The system consisted of three parts; the optic unit, the fiber-optic sensing head and the flow controlling unit. The optic unit included a He-Ne laser source which lazes a red laser into an aligned optical fiber, a photo detector, and a signal processing with computer interface controlled by the Labview® program version 7.1. The sensing head was made of a polyaniline thin film coated onto the de-cladded section of an optical fiber covered by a gas mixing cell. The concentration of measured gas was controlled by varying nitrogen gas flow rate. The nitrogen flow controller was set-up to obtain vapor concentration in the range of 0.04 to 0.40 % v/v. Vapors of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and n-butyl amine (a weak base) were used to test the performance of the sensor system. It was found that output intensity increases with an increasing HCl concentration and decreases with increasing n-butyl amine concentration. The response toward the amine vapor was faster than that of the HCl vapor (23 seconds for n-butyl amine and 72 seconds for HCl). Experiments performed at various concentrations of amine vapor (between 0.04 to 0.21 %v/v) found that a higher concentration yields faster response time.

Smart structures are to be possessed many functions to sense the external effects, such as seismic loads, temperature, and impact by some explosion, influenced on the safety of structures. This work was focused on the development of a sensing function of smart structures to get the temperature distribution on structures to detect fire occurrences. A fiber optic BOTDA (Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis) sensor system was developed to detect the fire occurrence by measuring the temperature distribution of a building’s exterior surfaces. This fiber optic sensor system was constructed with a laser diode and two electro-optic modulators, which made this system faster than systems using only one electro-optic modulator. The temperature distributed on an optical fiber can be measured by this fiber optic BOTDA sensor. An optical fiber, 1400 m in length, was installed on the surface of a building. Using real-time processing of the sensor system, we were able to monitor temperature distribution on the building’s surfaces, and changes in temperature distribution were also measured accurately with this fiber optic sensor.
