The cladding is etched with hydrofluoric acid (HF) to allow light leakage from the core, followed by magnetron sputtering of a 40 nm thick silver film onto the fiber surface. Subsequently, a GNR array, prepared using the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template method, is transferred onto the silver film. Compared to sensors with only a silver film on the fiber, the sensor with the GNR array exhibited a 31.85% increase in refractive index sensitivity. Furthermore, the GNR on the sensor was coated with the humidity-sensitive material polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to measure environmental relative humidity. The results indicate that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak wavelength shift has a strong linear correlation with relative humidity within the range of 30-80% RH, achieving a sensitivity of 0.431 nm/%RH.","PeriodicalId":13065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Technology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142123040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using another pair of cores as a reference path, the Brillouin gain information along two sensing cores is extracted through power subtraction processing, which eliminates the additional reference fiber links and further suppresses the parasitic intensity modulation noise. A measurement accuracy of 1.41 MHz is achieved at a 200-kHz sampling rate. Sensing information from two sensing cores are simultaneously acquired, allowing longitudinal and radial strain measurements. For proof of concept, measurements of up to 1-kHz longitudinal vibration and a 13.1-Hz radial bending-induced vibration are successfully demonstrated with 10-cm spatial resolution, showing great potential for fast high-resolution dynamic strain measurement.","PeriodicalId":13065,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Photonics Technology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142159928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
