High Sensitivity Cryogenic Temperature Sensors Based on Arc-Induced Long-Period Fiber Gratings

Abstract: In this paper, we investigated the evolution of the dispersion curves of long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) from room temperature down to 0 K. We considered gratings arc-induced in the SMF28 fiber and in two B/Ge co-doped fibers. Computer simulations were performed based on previously published experimental data. We found that the dispersion curves belonging to the lowest-order cladding modes are the most affected by the temperature changes, but those changes are minute when considering cladding modes with dis… Show more

“…If the aircraft applications are considered, there is a high range of temperatures for the sensors, where there are temperatures above 1000 °C in regions close to the engines and thermal equipment and temperatures below 0 °C for structural analysis for in-flight conditions [ 64 ]. In both scenarios (high and low temperatures), the OFS were already employed, where the stability of material properties at low temperatures already shows the possibility of using such fibers even in cryogenic applications [ 65 ]. Considering the low temperatures obtained on in-flight conditions, conventional OFS, such as interferometers [ 66 ], distributed temperature sensing [ 67 ], and FBGs [ 68 ], can be used using their intrinsic sensitivity to temperature variations along the fiber.…”

“…In order to predict the thermal behavior of fiber gratings the knowledge of the thermooptic coefficients, dn/dT (also defined as (1/n)(dn/dT)), of the core and cladding materials is required [1][2][3][4]. Vitreous silica is the main component of optical fiber, and it has been an important topic of research for decades.…”
