Pressure Sensing in High-Refractive-Index Liquids Using Long-Period Gratings Nanocoated with Silicon Nitride
The paper presents a novel pressure sensor based on a silicon nitride (SiNx) nanocoated long-period grating (LPG). The high-temperature, radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposited (RF PECVD) SiNx nanocoating was applied to tune the sensitivity of the LPG to the external refractive index. The technique allows for deposition of good quality, hard and wear-resistant nanofilms as requ...
متن کاملTransmission Characteristics of Long-Period Fiber Gratings Having Arbitrary Azimuthal/Radial Refractive Index Variations
A numerical method is presented for determining the transmittance of long-period (LP) fiber-gratings having arbitrary azimuthal/radial refractive index variations. The method uses coupled-mode theory and includes both the sine and cosine character of the LP modes. The model treats interactions between the fundamental mode and high-azimuthal-order cladding modes. The method utilizes the transfer...
متن کاملIn-fiber reflection mode interferometer based on a long-period grating for external refractive-index measurement.
We present two novel schemes for refractometry based on a long-period fiber grating- (LPG-) based Michelson interferometer. These schemes are designed to overcome the measurement dependence of previously demonstrated LPG-based refractometry on the immersion depth. The first utilizes an unshielded LPG and the second, a shielded one. Both schemes were tested over a certain refractive-index range,...
متن کاملTowards refractive index sensitivity of long-period gratings at level of tens of µm per refractive index unit: fiber cladding etching and nano-coating deposition.
In this work we report experimental results on optimizing the refractive index (RI) sensitivity of long-period gratings (LPGs) by fiber cladding etching and thin aluminum oxide (Al2O3) overlay deposition. The presented LPG takes advantage of work in the dispersion turning point (DTP) regime as well as the mode transition (MT) effect for higher-order cladding modes (LP...
متن کاملLong Period Gratings in Random Hole Optical Fibers for Refractive Index Sensing
We have demonstrated the fabrication of long period gratings in random hole optical fibers. The long period gratings are fabricated by a point-by-point technique using a CO(2) laser. The gratings with a periodicity of 450 μm are fabricated and a maximum coupling efficiency of -9.81 dB has been achieved. Sensing of different refractive indices in the surrounding mediums is demonstrated by applyi...
