Abstract
In this letter, we develop a novel fiber-optic sensor based on a hollow-core Bragg fiber (HCBF) for high-precision detection of liquid level. The intensity responses of anti-resonance reflecting optical waveguide are theoretically analyzed in terms of level and refractive index (RI) of liquid. Simultaneous measurements are conducted and the obvious intensity variations as the changed liquid level are exhibited, with near-zero RI crosstalk. The average liquid level sensitivity reaches −11.24 dB/cm in the range of $0 \sim 4$ cm, with high linearity. Additionally, high repeatability and low temperature intensity drift guarantee the measurement error can be constrained within 0.03 mm.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
