Abstract
In this paper, a novel fiber-optic Vernier sensor is experimentally completed by connecting reflective Lyot filter and microcavity based on Fabry-Perot interferometer. Three configurations are compared and the visibilities of larger than 5.2 dB are gained by a dual-circulator based modified cascading (M−cascading) in both upper and lower envelops. Then with a cavity-length matched FPI, the comprehensive tests are conducted in terms of temperature, axial strain and torsion. Due to the magnified factor of ∼13.5, the corresponding sensitivities of M−cascading configuration reach 22.23 nm/°C, −25.29 pm/με and −85.8 pm/°, respectively. The proposed sensor has the merits of stability, ease of fabrication and high sensitivity, which is very practical and potential in high-precision engineering monitoring and measurements.
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.
