Multi-parameter sensor based on single Long Period Grating in Panda fiber for the simultaneous measurement of SRI, temperature and strain
摘要： In this work, a three-parameter sensor for the simultaneous measurement of surrounding refractive index (SRI), temperature and strain is presented. It is based on a single Long Period Grating (LPG) written in a polarization-maintaining Panda fiber, by means of a simple technique based on Electric Arc Discharge. For the purpose, it is performed the monitoring of the wavelength shift of three different resonances, each one associated to a different cladding mode. Moreover, the set of resonances is acquired for two polarizations of the input light, i.e. aligned to the slow and fast axis of the fiber. The three-parameter sensing is promoted by the fact that the resonance dips show different sensitivities to SRI, temperature and strain, which change their magnitudes and signs when the polarization is switched. It was demonstrated that the sensor can be applied to simultaneously measure SRI in range 1.33–1.40, temperatures comprised in 20–60 °C, and strain of hundreds of με. This device could find application in the fields of materials science and structural health monitoring.

Optical Fiber Sensor Performance Evaluation in Soft Polyimide Film with Different Thickness Ratios
摘要： To meet the application requirements of curvature measurement for soft biomedical robotics and flexible morphing wings of aircraft, the optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) shape sensor for soft robots and flexible morphing wing was implemented. This optical FBG is embedded in polyimide film and then fixed in the body of a soft robot and morphing wing. However, a lack of analysis on the embedded depth of FBG sensors in polyimide film and its sensitivity greatly limits their application potential. Herein, the relationship between the embedded depth of the FBG sensor in polyimide film and its sensitivity and stability are investigated. The sensing principle and structural design of the FBG sensor embedded in polyimide film are introduced; the bending curvatures of the FBG sensor and its wavelength shift in polyimide film are studied; and the relationship between the sensitivity, stability, and embedded depth of these sensors are verified experimentally. The results showed that wavelength shift and curvature have a linear relationship. With the sensor’s curvature ranging from 0 m?1 to 30 m?1, their maximum sensitivity is 50.65 pm/m?1, and their minimum sensitivity is 1.96 pm/m?1. The designed FBG sensor embedded in polyimide films shows good consistency in repeated experiments for soft actuator and morphing wing measurement; the FBG sensing method therefore has potential for real applications in shape monitoring in the fields of soft robotics and the flexible morphing wings of aircraft.

High Sensitivity Polarimetric Optical Fiber Pressure Sensor Based on Tapered Polarization-Maintaining and Fiber Bragg Grating
摘要： In this paper, we propose a high sensitivity polarimetric optical fiber pressure sensor (OFPS) using a polarization-diversity loop composed of a polarization beam splitter, polarization controllers, and a sensor head. The sensor head consists of 8-cm-long tapered panda-type polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) directly spliced with PMF, and the sensor head is located inside a pressure chamber. A pressure-induced birefringence change due to the photoelastic effect can be greatly enhanced at the tapered section of PMF, thereby increasing the pressure sensitivity of the sensor head. The tapered PMF was fabricated using a fusion splicer, and the tapered length and center waist diameter of the tapered PMF segment were ～350 and ～56.82 μm, respectively. At the polarization-diversity loop, PMF is used as a birefringent element to create an interference spectrum due to polarization interference. A pressure-induced birefringence change of PMF results in a wavelength shift of the interference spectrum. Because the PMF birefringence also has a cross sensitivity to temperature, the FBG is utilized for the compensation of the temperature effect on it. The resonance wavelength of the FBG is sensitive to ambient temperature changes but insensitive to changes in pressure. This spectral response of the FBG can be used to compensate additional ambient temperature changes occurred at the sensor head. The pressure sensitivity of our sensor was measured as approximately ?27.70 nm/MPa, and an adjusted R2 value representing the sensor linearity was measured as ～0.9903 in a measurement range of 0–0.5 MPa. Our fabricated sensor exhibits the highest pressure sensitivity among previously reported polarimetric OFPS.

Study on a high-temperature optical fiber F–P acceleration sensing system based on MEMS
摘要： Vibration measurement at high temperature is of great signi?cance to monitoring the operation of major projects and mechanical equipment. As the temperature resistance of electrical vibration sensors is usually below 600 °C, it cannot meet the requirements of some high-temperature measuring conditions. This paper studies a high-temperature Fabry–Perot (F–P) acceleration sensing system with general single-mode ?ber. A high-temperature sensitive diaphragm is machined based on micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) technology and it is combined with the ?ber microstructure to enable the sensing probe to be packaged under high temperatures. According to the temperature characteristic of the length of the F–P cavity, a signal demodulation system was proposed based on the rapid automatic tracking of the quiescent operation point. The complete optical ?ber F–P acceleration sensing system conducted real-time vibration detection of high temperature casting in the foundry factory. The experimental result indicates that the optical ?ber high-temperature acceleration sensor showed a better vibration response in the working frequency of 100–1000 Hz and the relative error of the frequency measurement is less than 1.56% under normal temperatures and a high temperature of 800 °C.

Effects of TiO2 on the performance of silver coated on side-polished optical fiber for alcohol sensing applications
摘要： This work reports the experimental and numerical investigations on the effect of titanium oxide (TiO2) integrated on the optical fiber silver (Ag) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. In this paper, the numerical simulation is also analyzed using the finite element method (FEM) which shows good agreement. Results are compared with the experimental findings, focusing on the SPR phenomena for refractive index sensing using side-polished optical fiber, where the characteristics of the Ag layer with the integration of TiO2 are optimized. The essential parameters include the thickness of Ag namely 20 nm, 30 nm and 40 nm for optimization studies of SPR properties. TiO2 was then coated on the Ag thin layer to sense isopropanol at different concentration. It is shown that the combination of a 30 nm thickness of Ag layer with a dielectric TiO2 improves sensor performance in terms of sensitivity reading of 268 nm/RIU with a detection limit of 0.012. The main interest is to develop the device with cost effective, ease fabrication and less cumbersome of sensors using TiO2 which one of an alternative material to defeat the oxidation process and avoid charge recombination. If the sensitivity increases at a higher wavelength, it indicates that the TiO2 holds great potential in photonic applications.

An optical fiber strain sensor by using of taper based TCF structure
摘要： We propose an optical fiber strain sensor consisting of a spliced twin-core fiber (TCF). The sensor structure has two fiber tapers, which are weak taper and T-shaped taper. The taper waist of T-shaped taper is about half-size of the weak taper, but the length of the T-shaped taper is also about half-length of the weak taper. In the sensing structure, core mode and cladding modes of the TCF are excited simultaneously. Two tapered regions around the splicing interfaces can play the roles of splitting and combining the modes in the fiber. In experiment, the proposed device has good quality interferometric spectra, and the highest extinction ratio of 20 dB is achieved. When the stress increases from 0 με to 841.5 με, different wavelength sensitivities of 3.31 pm/με and 6.11 pm/με are achieved. Different intensity sensitivities of 7.5 × 10?3 dB/με and 9.9 × 10?3 dB/με are also achieved, respectively. The sensor has shown good test stability and low temperature sensitivity, which is good for precise strain measurement in practical applications.

In-Fiber Collimator-Based Fabry-Perot Interferometer with Enhanced Vibration Sensitivity
摘要： A simple vibration sensor is proposed and demonstrated based on an optical fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with an in-fiber collimator. The device was fabricated by splicing a quarter-pitch graded index fiber (GIF) with a section of a hollow-core fiber (HCF) interposed between single mode fibers (SMFs). The static displacement sensitivity of the FPI with an in-fiber collimator was 5.17 × 10?4 μm?1, whereas the maximum static displacement sensitivity of the device without collimator was 1.73 × 10?4 μm?1. Moreover, the vibration sensitivity of the FPI with the collimator was 60.22 mV/g at 100 Hz, which was significantly higher than the sensitivity of the FPI without collimator (11.09 mV/g at 100 Hz). The proposed FPI with an in-fiber collimator also exhibited a vibration sensitivity nearly one order of magnitude higher than the device without the collimator at frequencies ranging from 40 to 200 Hz. This low-cost FPI sensor is highly-sensitive, robust and easy to fabricate. It could potentially be used for vibration monitoring in remote and harsh environments.

Refractive index sensor based on ultrafine tapered single-mode nocladding single-mode fiber structure
摘要： A refractive index (RI) sensor based on a tapered no cladding fiber (NCF) is proposed theoretically and experimentally. The RI sensor is fabricated by splicing a NCF in the middle of two single mode fibers (SMF), and then the NCF is tapered to get lower waist diameter. Due to the lack of cladding, surrounding refractive index (SRI) can directly affect the light propagation of NCF, and the decrease of diameter can further improve the RI sensitivity by strengthening the evanescent field. The sensitivity with different lengths and waist diameters of NCF is investigated. It is observed that there are different linear relationships in different refractive interval and the RI sensitivity increases obviously with the waist diameter decreasing, especially when it is below 30 μm. RI sensitivity of the sensor reaches 686 nm/RIU when the waist diameter is 13 μm and SRI is at the range of 1.333–1.350. The sensor can be widely used in biosensing for its simple operation and high sensitivity at low SRI.

Ultrasensitive tantalum oxide nano-coated long-period gratings for detection of various biological targets
摘要： In this work we discussed a label-free biosensing application of long-period gratings (LPGs) optimized in refractive index (RI) sensitivity by deposition of thin tantalum oxide (TaOx) overlays. Comparing to other thin film and materials already applied for maximizing the RI sensitivity, TaOx offers good chemical and mechanical stability during its surface functionalization and other biosensing experiments. It was shown theoretically and experimentally that when RI of the overlay is as high as 2 in IR spectral range, for obtaining LPGs ultrasensitive to RI, the overlay’s thickness must be determined with subnanometer precision. In this experiment the TaOx overlays were deposited using Atomic Layer Deposition method that allowed for achieving overlays with exceptionally well-defined thickness and optical properties. The TaOx nano-coated LPGs show RI sensitivity determined for a single resonance exceeding 11,500 nm/RIU in RI range nD=1.335-1.345 RIU, as expected for label-free biosensing applications. Capability for detection of various in size biological targets, i.e., proteins (avidin) and bacteria (Escherichia coli), with TaOx-coated LPGs was verified using biotin and bacteriophage adhesin as recognition elements, respectively. It has been shown that functionalization process, as well as type of recognition elements and target analyte must be taken into consideration when the LPG sensitivity is optimized. In this work optimized approach made possible detection of small in size biological targets such as proteins with sensitivity reaching 10.21 nm/log(ng/ml).

Ultrasensitive refractive index sensor based on parallel-connected dual Fabry-Perot interferometers with Vernier effect
摘要： A kind of ultrasensitive refractive index sensor based on parallel-connected dual Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPIs) with Vernier effect is proposed and demonstrated. The open and closed cavity FPIs are used as the sensing and reference units, respectively. The Vernier effect is realized by superimposing the reflective comb spectra of the dual FPIs, which have slightly different free spectral ranges. The open groove of the open cavity FPI provides a convenient, efficient and economical method for filling in or draining out the cavity. The stability, repeatability and temperature response of the structures are investigated. Experimental results indicate that the proposed sensing structure features high sensitivity, good stability, quick and accurate measurement.
