Abstract
Aiming at the real-time detection of liquid temperature in special environment such as strong magnetic field and small space, a double-hole reflective fiber optic temperature sensor was designed based on the law of liquid refractive index with temperature and the propagation characteristics of light in liquid. On the basis of proposing the principle of temperature measurement using reflective fiber optic temperature sensors, the probe structure of the sensor was determined. A mathematical model of the sensor was established based on the approximate Gaussian distribution of the optical field at the fiber end, and the influence of different parameters on the output characteristics of the sensor was analyzed. Building an experimental platform and conducting respectively static calibration experiments on fiber optic sensors with single hole and double hole inlet probe structures. The results showed that both types of inlet sleeve structure sensors can achieve liquid detection in the temperature range of 30–122 °C. The sensitivity of the single hole probe reflective fiber optic sensor is 0.75 mV/°C, with a linearity of 9.2 %; The linearity of the dual hole reflective fiber optic sensor is 6.8 %, and the sensitivity is 0.76 mV/°C. The dual hole structure has lower linearity and higher fit degree during linear fitting.
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.
