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 کاملTemperature insensitive high-precision refractive-index sensor using two concatenated dual-resonance long-period gratings.
In this Letter we report on fabricating and analyzing a temperature insensitive refractometer based on two concatenated dual-resonance long-period gratings (LPGs) with an appropriate inter-grating space (IGS) in between. The IGS provides a temperature-dependent extra phase difference between the core and cladding modes, making the refractometer similar to a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with its ...
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...
متن کاملRefractive Index Sensitivity in Thinned Uv and Arc Induced Long-period Gratings: a Comparative Study
In this work, a comparative study aimed to investigate the effects of cladding stripping on the external refractive index sensitivity in tapered and UV long period gratings is presented. Here, wet chemical etching combined with microscopic analysis allow us to identify the experimental dependence of the surrounding refractive index (SRI) sensitivity on the cladding radius for both grating types...
متن کاملRefractive index sensitivity of fibre optic long period gratings with SiO2 nanoparticle based mesoporous coatings
A fibre optic long period grating (LPG) with a nano-assembled mesoporous coating of alternate layers of poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and SiO2 nanospheres was used for the development of a fibre-optic refractometer. PAH/SiO2 films of different thickness have been deposited onto LPG in order to study the effect of the film thickness on sensor performance. The device showed a sensitivity ...
