High-sensitivity stress sensor based on Bragg grating in BDK-doped photosensitive polymer optical fiber [8351-9]

چکیده
Bragg grating in a single-mode photosensitive polymer optical fiber (POF) with benzil dimethyl ketal (BDK)-doped in core has been inscribed through the Sagnac ring interference method. The Bragg wavelength of grating is about 1570nm. The stress and strain response of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) has been studied respectively. By fitting the experimental result, the strain sensitivity of FBG in POF has been found to be almost same to that of conventional silica fiber Bragg gratings. However, the stress sensitivity of FBG in POF is measured to be 421pm/MPa, which is 28 times higher than FBG in silica fiber. And such high stress sensitivity makes Bragg grating in a single-mode BDK-doped POF appear to be very attractive for constructing stress sensor with high resolution.

We demonstrate an intrinsic biochemical concentration sensor based on a polymer optical fiber Bragg grating. The water content absorbed by the polymer fiber from a surrounding solution depends on the concentration of the solution because of the osmotic effect. The variation of water content in the fiber causes a change in the fiber dimensions and a variation in refractive index and, therefore, ...
