“…The reported values are at least one order of magnitude lower than the polarimetric sensitivity to temperature in traditional highly birefringent fibers, ranging from −0.5 rad/K×m in the fiber with elliptical core up to K T = −4 rad/K×m in the bow-tie fiber (Urbanczyk et al 2001). At the same time, the polarimetric sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure in HB PCFs is relatively high and at λ = 0.83 µm equals K P = −14.8 rad/MPa×m in the fiber with two large holes and K P = −3.5 rad/MPa×m in the fiber with triple defect (Statkiewicz et al 2004;Nasilowski et al 2005). For comparison, the polarimetric sensitivity to pressure in conventional HB fibers is K P = +0.5 rad/MPa×m in the fiber with elliptical core and K P = +8 rad/MPa×m in the bow-tie fibers (Urbanczyk et al 2001).…”

“…There are only a few papers published so far, reporting on measurements of temperature sensitivity in PCFs with low (Michie et al 2004;Ritari et al 2004) and high birefringence (Kim and Kang 2004;Kotynski et al 2004;Zhao et al 2004;Nasilowski et al 2005;Statkiewicz et al 2004;Urbanczyk et al 2005. These reports show that polarimetric sensitivity to temperature in HB PCFs strongly depends upon fiber geometry and at λ = 0.83 µm may reach as low values as K T = −0.003 rad/K×m for the fiber with two large holes adjacent to the core and K T = 0.014 rad/K×m for the fiber with elliptical core consisting of triple defect Nasilowski et al 2005). The reported values are at least one order of magnitude lower than the polarimetric sensitivity to temperature in traditional highly birefringent fibers, ranging from −0.5 rad/K×m in the fiber with elliptical core up to K T = −4 rad/K×m in the bow-tie fiber (Urbanczyk et al 2001).…”

We report on experimental studies of polarimetric sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure and temperature in two highly birefringent index guided photonic crystal fibers, in which birefringence is induced by one row of the cladding holes with diameters smaller than the other cladding holes. The sensitivity measurements were carried out in the spectral range from 0.6 µm to 1.6 µm. Our results show that absolute value of the polarimetric sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure can reach 23 rad/MPa×m, which is almost one order of magnitude higher than in conventional fibers with elliptical core. Simultaneously, polarimetric sensitivity to temperature is at least two orders of magnitude lower than in conventional highly birefringent fibers. Moreover, we proved experimentally that one of the investigated fibers is completely insensitive to temperature at certain wavelength.

“…At another level, the intrinsic sensitivity of standard PCF fiber to hydrostatic pressure was studied using interferometric techniques by Bock et al [61], and PCF-based polarimetric sensing structures were studied for pressure and temperature measurements (Statkiewicz et al [62] and Nasilowski et al [63]). …”

A review of optical fiber sensing demonstrations based on photonic crystal fibers is presented. The text is organized in five main sections: the first three deal with sensing approaches relying on fiber Bragg gratings, long-period gratings and interferometric structures; the fourth one reports applications of these fibers for gas and liquid sensing; finally, the last section focuses on the exploitation of nonlinear effects in photonic crystal fibers for sensing. A brief review about splicing with photonic crystal fibers is also included.Two main classes of photonic crystal fibres (PCF): index-guiding PCF (a) and photonic bandgap PCF (b).

“…For example, in many fiber sensing applications, polarization maintaining (PM) fibers are desired because they provide a better signal-to-noise ratio and allow for simplification of the measurements. Using air-hole microstructured designs, PM fibers with birefringences in excess of 1×10 -3 [1][2][3][4][5] can be readily manufactured, which is more than an order of magnitude than that of conventional fibers.…”

Abstract:We present the design of an air hole microstructured photonic crystal fiber for pressure sensing applications. The air-hole photonic crystal lattices were designed to produce a large intrinsic birefringence of 1.16x10 -3 . The impact of the surrounding air holes for pressure sensing to the propagation mode profiles and indices were studied and improved, which ensures single mode propagation in the fiber core defined by the photonic crystal lattice. An air hole matrix and a practical chemical etching process during the fiber perform preparation stage is proposed to produce an optical fiber with a birefringence-pressure coefficient of 43.89x10 -6 MPa -1 or a fiber Bragg grating pressure responsivity of 44.15 pm/MPa, which is a 17 times improvement over previous photonic crystal fiber designs. 14.
