In-Fiber Closed Cavity Interferometric High-Resolution Aqueous Solution and Alcohol Gas Refractometer

Abstract: An optical fiber interferometric refractometer for alcohol gas concentration and low refractive index (RI) solution (with 1.33–1.38 RI range) measurement is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. The refractometer is based on a single-mode thin-core single-mode (STS) interferometric structure. By embedding a suitably sized air cavity at the splicing point, high-order cladding modes are successfully excited, which makes the sensor more suitable for low RI solution measurement. The effect of the air cavi… Show more

“…There, the high intracavity intensity along with the preferred emission into cavity modes is used to enhance the emission of Raman scattering from atmospheric gases. Fiber-based sensing of substances is however not limited to gaseous media, but can also be used with liquid solutions in absorption-measurement-based [87] or refractometer-based schemes [88].…”

“…So far, RI resolutions of mFBG, LPG and microfibers Sagnac loop sensors usually can get 10 −2 −10 −3 , 10 −3 −10 −4 and 10 −5 −10 −6 , respectively. Meanwhile, the RI resolution of other optical fiber sensors (such as special fiber structure [14], taper fiber structure [15], and FBG [16] and other structures [17,18]) are always lower than 10 −5 . The main reason of microfiber Sagnac loop sensor presents more higher RI resolution than others is due to higher order cladding modes can be excited by the microfibers with micrometer diameter.…”
