Abstract:A few-mode fiber (FMF)-embedded long-period fiber grating is proposed as a sensor for simultaneous measurement of refractive index and temperature. Periodically embedding the FMFs induces the local refractive index modulation to achieve a compact sensor size and obtains a low insertion loss. The simulated results show that the two resonance dips have opposite waveguide dispersion coefficients. Therefore, they show different refractive indices and temperature sensitivities in the experiment. At the same time, t… Show more
“…The simulations are compared for different periods of the sensing structure and the position of malposition, and the final period of the sensor was determined to be 4 and the mismatch offset to be 8μm. Based on the above structural analysis, the resonant wavelength of the MS-SMS is determined by the phase matching condition, and therefore, the resonant wavelength res can be described as [16] : , ( )…”

This paper presents a novel malposition fusion splice cascade single mode, graded index multimode, and single mode fiber (MS-SMS) structure for simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature. The MS-SMS sensor consists of a 4-period single mode fiber graded refractive index multimode fiber splice with a total length of 4.8 mm. Moreover, higher order cladding patterns are excited by malposition fusion splice. The theoretical analysis simulations are in agreement with the experimental results. Experimental validation showed the high strain and temperature sensitivity of the sensor. The sensor has two resonant dips with strain sensitivities of 7.6 pm/με and -8.7 pm/με, respectively. And the sensitivities of the two resonance depressions reached 48 pm/°C and 55.4 pm/°C, respectively.

“…Similar to the Bragg wavelength for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) [46][47][48] and loss peak for long period grating (LPG) [49,50], the resonant wavelength is a remarkable characterization for AR-HCFs. Accordingly, AR-HCFs can be also regarded as one of the functional fiber sensing devices.…”

Specialty fibers have enabled a wide range of sensing applications. Particularly, with the recent advancement of anti-resonant effects, specialty fibers with hollow structures offer a unique sensing platform to achieve highly accurate and ultra-compact fiber optic sensors with large measurement ranges. This review presents an overview of recent progress in anti-resonant hollow-core fibers for sensing applications. Both regular and irregular-shaped fibers and their performance in various sensing scenarios are summarized. Finally, the challenges and possible solutions are briefly presented with some perspectives toward the future development of anti-resonant hollow-core fibers for advanced sensing.
“…In addition, crosssensitivity to temperature is unavoidable in practical applications. Zhang, S. and Huang, J. et al proposed a sensor that simultaneously measures temperature and refractive index to overcome this problem [5][6] . However, this method requires expensive equipment and increases the length of the sensor, thus limiting the application area of the sensor.…”
A long-period fiber grating based on a D-type multimode fiber (DMF) embedded in a no-core fiber (NCF) has been designed and fabricated. The 5-period NCF-DMF-NCF (NDN-LPG) has a high resonance loss contrast (18dB). The theoretical analysis simulations are in agreement with the experimental results. We investigated the sensing response characteristics of NDN-LPG for refractive index and temperature, and the sensor achieved a wavelength sensitivity of 244.11nm/RIU in the range of 1.344-1.421 RIU with a low temperature sensitivity (22pm/°C).
