Training plan offered by the researcher Pedro Corredera and entitled: Application of distributed sensing techniques in multicore fibers

The multi-core optical fiber (multicore -MC) has a set of geometrically ordered cores inside it and has been developed as one of the successful solutions for very high traffic optical communications, since the same fiber thread can carry 4 ,7 or 17 (depending on the number of cores) more data than conventional fiber optics.


In addition to this application of the number of data to be transmitted, MC fibers can be very advantageous in distributed fiber optic sensing systems.
In this JAE project, the aim is to develop a training plan that brings the student closer to the new possibilities shown in this type of fiber in the field of distributed sensing.
The young researcher will participate in the first developments in the ongoing research dedicated to improving distributed sensing in MC multicore fiber optics, exploring the integration of Bragg networks as an optical sensor element in the different cores of MC fibers, as well as exploring the advantages of these fibers in coherent distributed sensing by optical reflectometry (OCBR techniques) in the different cores of the fiber
