Tilted fiber Bragg grating in graded-index multimode fiber and its sensing characteristics

Abstract

Tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) and reflective tilted fiber Bragg grating (R-TFBG) were proposed and demonstrated in the graded-index multimode fiber (GI-MMF). The TFBGs with grating planes tilted at an angle of 2.5° corresponding to the fiber axis were inscribed. The TFBGs in the GI-MMF had the good linear sensitivity to the temperature, strain and curvature. The fiber was then cleaved at the far end of the TFBG to form an R-TFBG using the Fresnel reflection of the fiber end. The reflective spectra of the R-TFBG were given, and the temperature sensing properties were also investigated.

Graphene-coated microfiber FBG for highly sensitive gas sensing

“…Ultimately, such an influence could be read on the OSA via detecting the location of the reflection peak of the GMFBG, by considering the Bragg condition λ=2n eff Λ. Here λ is the reflection peak's location, n eff is the effective refractive index of the GMFBG, Λ is the period of the GMFBG [14]. …”

Optimization study on graphene-coated microfiber Bragg grating structures for ammonia gas sensing

“…It is easy to see that n eff is a function of r and n 2 . Combining with (1), λ B changes with the radius and RI of the cladding [20].…”

Twisted Few-Mode Optical Fiber with Improved Height of Quasi-Step Refractive Index Profile

“…A lot of many recently published works demonstrated few-mode operation of these conventional, tilted or slanted FBGs on MMFs and FMFs in vibration, temperature, deformation, displacement, bending etc. fiber optic sensors [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”
