Highly sensitive refractometer with a photonic-crystal-fiber long-period grating.
We present highly sensitive refractometers based on a long-period grating in a large-mode-area photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The maximum sensitivity is 1500 nm/refractive index unit at a refractive index of 1.33, to our knowledge the highest reported for any fiber grating. The minimal detectable index change is 2 x 10(-5). The high sensitivity is obtained by infiltrating the sample into the hol...
متن کاملIn-fiber polarizer based on a long-period fiber grating written on photonic crystal fiber.
A novel in-fiber polarizer based on a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) is written by using a focused CO2 laser beam to notch a photonic crystal fiber periodically. Such a polarizer exhibits a high polarization extinction ratio of more than 20 dB over a wide wavelength range of ~11 nm near 1550 nm and a very low temperature sensitivity of 3.9 pm/ degrees C, which overcomes the disadvantages of t...
متن کاملTemperature insensitive long period grating sensors in photonic crystal fibre
A Long Period Grating was fabricated in endlessly single mode photonic crystal fibre using a spatially-periodic electric arc discharge. The sensing characteristics of the grating were studied and it was found to possess an insensitivity to temperature, a bend sensitivity of 3.7 nm.m and a strain sensitivity of -2.0 pm/με. Introduction: Long period gratings (LPGs) consist of a large scale (hundr...
متن کاملTwo-photon photochemical long-period grating fabrication in pure-fused-silica photonic crystal fiber.
We report what is to our knowledge the first photochemical fabrication of a long-period grating in a pure-fused-silica photonic crystal fiber. The inscription technique is based on a two-photon absorption mechanism and does not require a specially designed photonic crystal fiber with a photosensitive Ge-doped core. The characteristic fluence value for the inscription is an order of magnitude le...
متن کاملHighly Sensitive Sensors Based on Photonic Crystal Fiber Modal Interferometers
We review the research on photonic crystal fiber modal interferometers with emphasis placed on the characteristics that make them attractive for different sensing applications. The fabrication of such interferometers is carried out with different post-processing techniques such as grating inscription, tapering or cleaving, and splicing. In general photonic crystal fiber interferometers exhibit ...
