In this paper, a high sensitivity temperature sensor based on photonic crystal fiber long period grating (PCF-LPG) filled with ethanol is proposed and simulated by full vector finite element method. The relationship between the resonant wavelength shift, and the temperature was analyzed. The results show that the resonant wavelength of the ethanol filled photonic crystal fiber long period grating is proportional linearly with temperature and the highest sensitivity of was achieved, which is 90 times higher than that of conventional LPG temperature sensors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
