Fiber optic Sagnac loop with a polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber as an optical wavelength demodulator for fiber Bragg grating sensors
نویسنده
چکیده
The properties of a fiber optic Sagnac loop with a polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber are presented, which is utilized as an optical wavelength demodulator. Owing to the use of a photonic crystal fiber, which has high birefringence and a very low temperature coefficient of birefringence, a temperature-stable optical wavelength demodulator circuit was obtained. The constructed demodulator was applied in a fiber optic force sensor with a Bragg grating. The nonlinearity error of the sensor with the demodulator does not exceed 1 %. Streszczenie. Przedstawiono właściwości światłowodowej pętli Sagnaca ze światłowodem fotonicznym przenoszącym polaryzację wykorzystanej jako optyczny demodulator długości fali. Dzięki zastosowaniu światłowodu fotonicznego o wysokiej dwójłomności i bardzo małym współczynniku temperaturowym dwójłomności uzyskano stabilny temperaturowo układ demodulatora długości fali optycznej. Zastosowano wykonany demodulator w światłowodowym czujniku siły z siatką Bragga. Błąd nieliniowości tego czujnika z demodulatorem nie przekracza 1 %. (Światłowodowa pętla Sagnaca ze światłowodem fotonicznym przenoszącym polaryzację jako optyczny demodulator długości fali dla czujników z siatkami Bragga). Słowa kluczowe: demodulator długości fali, pętla Sagnaca, światłowód fotoniczny przenoszacy polaryzację, czujnik siły, światłowodowa siatka Bragga.

In the sensing applications of optical fiber grating, it is necessary to reduce the transmission-type polarization dependence to isolate the sensing parameter. It is experimentally shown that the polarization-dependent spectrum of acousto-optic long-period fiber grating sensors can be suppressed in the transmission port of a π-shifted Sagnac loop interferometer. General expressions for the tran...
