Abstract
We demonstrate a fiber optic accelerometer for low frequency vibration detection in this paper. A slider moving along a guide rail is suspended over an optical fiber into which a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is inscribed. When acceleration signal acts on our sensing structure, the slider will vibrate vertically under the constraint of the optical fiber, inducing the change of FBG axial strain and we can therefore establish the relationship between vibrational acceleration and wavelength shift. Laboratory measurements validate the effectiveness of the derived theoretical results that the sensor owns a low natural frequency of 9.5 Hz and a high sensitivity up to 926.29 pm/g from 0.5 to 9 Hz. The sensor structure also shows a good ability to resist lateral interference that the cross-sensitivity is calculated as 0.3%.
期刊介绍:
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
