Sensitivity enhancement of fiber Bragg gratings to transverse stress by using microstructural fibers.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present simulation and experimental results of fiber Bragg grating responses to transverse stress in microstructure fibers. The grating wavelength shifts and peak splits are studied as a function of external load and fiber orientation. Both simulation and measurement results indicate that the sensitivity of grating sensors to the transverse stress can be enhanced by a factor of eight in a two-hole fiber over that in a standard fiber.

Suspended-core fiber Bragg grating sensor for directional-dependent transverse stress monitoring.
This Letter presents simulation and experimental results of orientation-dependent transverse stress fiber sensors using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) inscribed in four-hole suspended-core fibers. Resonant peak shifts and splitting of FBGs were studied as functions of the applied transverse load and fiber orientation. Both simulation and experimental results revealed that the response of FBGs in s...
متن کاملFiber Bragg Grating Sensors and Sensor Arrays
Fiber Bragg gratings have found widespread application in sensor systems, e. g. for temperature, strain or refractive index measurements. The concept of fiber Bragg gratings allows also in a simple way the realisation of arrays of such sensors. The development of such optical fiber sensor systems often requires special fibers and grating structures which may go beyond more conventional Bragg gr...
متن کاملUV-induced modification of stress distribution in optical fibers and its contribution to Bragg grating birefringence.
This paper discusses the importance of stress-induced contributions to the photo-induced birefringence observed in fiber Bragg gratings. Optical tomography measurements are performed in exposed and unexposed fibers to extract the stress profiles induced by UV-writing of fiber Bragg gratings for various exposure levels. A photoelastic analysis and a high-order isoparametric finite elements metho...
متن کاملPhoto-thermal Growth of Unsaturated and Saturated Bragg Gratings in Phosphate Glass Fibers
We demonstrate that the strong thermal growth of fiber Bragg gratings in phosphate glass fibers at temperatures between 100 – 250 °C requires the seed gratings written using 193 nm light to be overexposed beyond saturation. 2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.3735) Fiber Bragg gratings; (060.3738) Fiber Bragg gratings, photosensitivity; (120.6810) Thermal effects; (060.2290) Fiber...
متن کاملOptical pulse compression based on nonlinear silicon waveguides and chirped Bragg gratings
Due to the growing demand for higher bandwidth, employing optical devices instead of electronic devices in data transmission systems has attracted much attention in recent years. Optical switches, modulators and wavelength converters are a few examples of the required optical devices. CMOS compatible fabrication of these devices, leads to much more growing of this technology. Optical pulse comp...
