Engineering nanoparticle features to tune Rayleigh scattering in nanoparticles-doped optical fibers

Abstract Rayleigh scattering enhanced nanoparticles-doped optical fibers are highly promising for distributed sensing applications, however, the high optical losses induced by that scattering enhancement restrict considerably their sensing distance to few meters. Fabrication of long-range distribute...
