Optical sensor based on hybrid LPG/FBG in D-fiber for simultaneous refractive index and temperature measurement
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dual-parameter optical sensor has been realized by UV-writing a long-period and a Bragg grating structure in D-fiber. The hybrid configuration permits the detection of the temperature from the latter and measuring the external refractive index from the former responses, respectively. The employment of the D-fiber allows as effective modification and enhancement of the device sensitivity by cladding etching. The grating sensor has been used to measure the concentrations of aqueous sugar solutions, demonstrating the potential capability to detect concentration changes as small as 0.01%.

Long period grating cascaded to photonic crystal fiber modal interferometer for simultaneous measurement of temperature and refractive index.
We propose and demonstrate a novel and simple dual-parameter measurement scheme based on a cascaded optical fiber device of long-period grating (LPG) and photonic crystal fiber (PCF) modal interferometer. The temperature and refractive index (RI) can be measured simultaneously by monitoring the spectral characteristics of the device. The implemented sensor shows distinctive spectral sensitiviti...
متن کاملTip sensor probe for changing refractive index measurement in small volumes
In this paper, a tapered tip optical fiber probe sensor for localized refractive index (RI) measurements is presented. This sensor’s interaction with analytes is confined to a few micro-meters which makes it a promising candidate for in-vivo or even intra-cellular RI monitoring. This tapered tip was simply fabricated by etching optical fiber with hydrofluoric acid to a conic shape with a sub-m...

This paper presents the fabrication of chirped Fiber Bragg Grating (CFBG) from uniform Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) by etching technique in order to utilize it as refractive index sensors. Etching is carried out with the presence of a layer of silicone oil on top of the hydrofluoric acid to achieve partial-etching of the FBGs. The partiallyetched FBGs exhibit two different modes: fundamental mode ...
