Temperature-insensitive photonic crystal fiber interferometer for absolute strain sensing

Abstract: The authors report a highly sensitive (∼2.8pm∕με) wavelength-encoded strain sensor made from a piece of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) spliced to standard fibers. The authors intentionally collapse the PCF air holes over a short region to enlarge the propagating mode of the lead-in fiber which allows the coupling of only two modes in the PCF. The transmission spectrum of the interferometer is stable and sinusoidal over a broad wavelength range. The sensor exhibits linear response to strain over a large measureme… Show more

“…The difference of only 10 µm between periods may not contribute much to distinguishing a significant trend in the experimental results, although an increase in sensitivity is perceived between LPG-B and LPG-D, which is accordance with the behavior described in (2). A comparison with results available in the literature shows that the sensitivity of LPG-D to strain is about 7 times larger than that reported in [28] (-0.992 pm/µε), about 8 times larger than that observed in a modal interferometer [29] (-0.81 pm/µε), and about 2.5 times larger than that reported in [30] (-2.8 pm/µε), which is made from a simple piece of photonic crystal fiber spliced to standard fibers. Although LPG-A was written with the same process, it represented a special case.…”

“…PCF 내부의 공기 구멍(air hole)이 입력광원의 파장과 비슷한 크기를 갖게 되 면 PCF는 광 밴드갭(photonic bandgap) 효과에 의해 빛을 도 파시킬 수 있고, 이 경우 코어(core)와 클래딩(cladding)을 단 일 물질(SiO2)로 구성할 수 있기 때문에 PCF는 기존의 굴절 률 유도(index guiding) 방식의 광섬유에 비해 현저히 낮은 온도 민감도를 갖는다. 따라서, PCF 기반 광섬유 센서들은 기존의 광섬유 센서들에 비해 상대적으로 온도에 둔감한 장 점을 갖고, 이로 인해 마하-젠더(Mach-Zehnder) 또는 페브리-페로(Fabry-Perot) 간섭계 구조를 이용하여 기존 광섬유 센서 들에 비해 상대적으로 온도에 둔감한 스트레인(strain) 센서 들이 다수 제안되어왔다 [3][4][5] . 특히, 편광 유지 PCF(polarizationmaintaining PCF: 이하 PM-PCF) 기반의 사냑 복굴절 간섭계 (Sagnac birefringence interferometer) [6] 는 구조가 간단하고, 스트레인에 대한 복굴절 변화 민감도가 높으며, 입력 편광에 의존하지 않는 특성을 가지기 때문에 스트레인 센서부 (sensor head)나 센서 복조용 필터(demodulation filter)로 널 리 사용되고 있다 [7][8][9][10][11][12] .…”

“…따라서 구부림을 가하는 변수 h 값 이 커질수록 r값은 작아지고 구부림의 정도는 커지게 된다. [8,9] Y축 방향으로 구부렸을 때의 변화 민감도를 확인하기 위 해 인접한 peak 파장의 파장 이동 정도를 측정하였다. ny에 비해 nx의 변화가 상대적으로 커져 복굴절이 감소하게 된다.…”
