Fiber Bragg gratings were photowritten with 193 nm ArF excimer laser and characterized for their response to strain, temperature, bending and torsion. These gratings couple light from the forward core mode to not only backward core mode but also backward rod modes. This results in multiple resonance peaks in the reflection spectrum. All resonance wavelengths exhibited the same temperature and strain response with coefficient similar to that of Bragg gratings in standard single-mode fiber. The strength of the resonance peaks corresponding to the backward rod modes showed high sensitivity to bending and torsion.","PeriodicalId":154236,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st Asia-Pacific Optical Fiber Sensors Conference","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121780184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present polymer optical fiber application in SPR sensors, including wavelength interrogation SPR sensor and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) probe. Polymer optical fiber (POF) is used to effectively couple the incident light from light source, and collect reflective light into spectrometer. It also makes the sensing system more flexible and reliable. Gold nanorods with 30 nm long axis and average aspect ratios 3:1 are synthesized using seed-mediated growth method. Combining Au nanorods with POF, we can easily realize fiber SERS sensor. Long-period fiber gratings are fabricated on single mode polymer optical fiber with 120 um period and 50% duty cycle. The polarization characteristic of this kind of birefringent grating is studied. Theoretical analysis shows this type grating has two separated polarization peaks, and it will be advantageous in SPR sensing applications.","PeriodicalId":154236,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st Asia-Pacific Optical Fiber Sensors Conference","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124003074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mid-infrared coherent radiation generated was tunable from 3.2 to 3.7 mum with an output power of about 100 muW. By changing one of the pump laser head with another wavelength range we can readily obtain other needed mid-infrared wavelength range cover. Performance of the mid-infrared laser system and its application to highly sensitive spectroscopic detection of CH4, HCI, CH2O and NO2 has been carried out. A multi-reflection White cell was used in the experiment gaining ppb-level sensitivity.

The TFBG located in the half circle with the different diameters is bent at a constant angle with respect to the tilted grating planes. With the variations of the curvature, the core-mode resonance is unchanged and the transmission power of cladding modes detected by the photodiodes varies linearly with curvature, while the ghost mode changes by the form of two-order polynomial. So we can use the transmission power of ghost mode or other cladding modes to detect bending curvature as shape sensor. From a practical point of view, the sensor proposed here is simple, low cost and easy to implement. Moreover, it is possible to make a temperature-insensitive shape senor due to the same temperature characteristic between the core mode and the cladding modes.","PeriodicalId":154236,"journal":{"name":"2008 1st Asia-Pacific Optical Fiber Sensors Conference","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128452864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
