Abstract
Clarifying the core-cladding interfacial interaction is crucial for comprehending the high-temperature regeneration. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism remains ambiguous, and the interactive correlation is unclear. To focus on these issues, this study adopts a chemical etching method to remove the core-cladding interfacial stress of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and analyzes the spectral variation systematically. Experimental results reveal the core-cladding interfacial stress is not a decisive factor in triggering regeneration, while it significantly influences the erasing time, amplitude, and direction of spectral shift. For the first time, the core-cladding interfacial stress is verified to induce thermal blue-shift of the regeneration process, and a corresponding mathematical prediction model is proposed. Our work provides an insightful perspective for exploring the formation mechanism of regenerated gratings and lays a foundation for hyper thermal application of fiber optic sensing.
期刊介绍:
Optics Communications invites original and timely contributions containing new results in various fields of optics and photonics. The journal considers theoretical and experimental research in areas ranging from the fundamental properties of light to technological applications. Topics covered include classical and quantum optics, optical physics and light-matter interactions, lasers, imaging, guided-wave optics and optical information processing. Manuscripts should offer clear evidence of novelty and significance. Papers concentrating on mathematical and computational issues, with limited connection to optics, are not suitable for publication in the Journal. Similarly, small technical advances, or papers concerned only with engineering applications or issues of materials science fall outside the journal scope.
