METHOD AND SENSOR FOR SENSING TEMPERATURE OR STRAIN
The method for sensing strain or temperature with an optical fiber generally comprises propagating a seed wave in an optical fiber; generating a first wave by stimulated Brillouin scattering of the seed wave in the optical fiber, the first wave having a frequency spectrally shifted from the seed wave and being backscattered from the seed wave; propagating the seed wave and the first wave in a sensing feedback cavity thereby generating waves of higher order, each wave of higher order being cascadely generated by the wave of previous order, each wave of higher order being backscattered and having a frequency spectrally shifted from its corresponding wave of previous order and forming a frequency comb with the seed wave and the first wave; measuring a spectral frequency shift of at least one of the waves of higher order; and sensing the strain or temperature based on the measured spectral frequency shift.

Increased normal zone propagation velocity in superconducting segments
There is described herein a superconducting segment and method of making same comprising one or several layers with very high electrical resistivity, acting as a current flow diverter when the current transfers from the superconductor to the stabilizer. The purpose of this current flow diverter is: i) to increase the contact resistance between the superconductor and the stabilizer, by reducing the contact area, and ii) to force the current to flow along a specific path, so as to increase momentarily the current density in a specific portion of the stabilizer. The consequence of i) and ii) is that heat generated at the extremities of the normal zone is increased and spread over a longer length along the superconducting segment, which increases the NZPV and thus, the uniformity of the quench.
