In this work, we designed a tapered surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on plastic optical fiber (POF), and the sensor’ s sensitivity to liquid refractive index (RI) and temperature was investigated separately. The results show that when the taper ratio of the sensor is 2.80, its sensitivity can reach 2890.536 nm/RIU within the RI range of 1.333 ∼ 1.433. After coating a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) temperature-sensitive film on the Ag film in the sensing area, within the temperature ranges of 0 ∼ 96 °C and − 40 ∼ 0 °C, the temperature sensitivities reach −0.906 nm/°C and −1.807 nm/°C, respectively, and demonstrating high linearity and cyclic stability. We further developed a dual-channel sensor for simultaneous measurement of RI and temperature. The results demonstrate that within the RI range of 1.333 ∼ 1.373 and temperature range of 10 ∼ 60 °C, the sensitivities for RI and temperature are 1845.603 nm/RIU and −0.891 nm/°C, respectively.

Determination of the important parameter values of these components for the design is quite essential in terms of cost and performance (e.g., gain, power conversion effect [PCE]). For TLS, signal wavelength and power; for PDF, PDF length, ion density, upconversion, numerical aperture, core radius, doping radius, and operating environment temperature; pump laser, pump power, and pump wavelength are the critical design parameters. Another factor that will improve the performance of the amplifier is the amplifier configuration. Although there are single-pass and double-pass PDFA studies in the literature, in this article, for the first time, the simulation, parameter optimization, and analysis of two-stage triple-pass PDFA (2P3S-PDFA) and three-stage triple-pass PDFA (2P3S-PDFA) are performed. The performances of 2P3S-PDFA and 2P3S-PDFA are compared in terms of gain and noise figure (NF). The optimum gain obtained for 2S3P-PDFA is 49,4 dB, and the NF at this point is around 6,5 dB. For 3S3P-PDFA, the optimum gain is 47,7 dB and the NF at this point is around 5,1 dB. When we look at the two amplifier types in general, 2S3P-PDFA performs better than 3S3P-PDFA in terms of optimum gain by around 1,7 dB. However, in terms of NF, 2S3P-PDFA has more NF than 3S3P-PDFA by around 1,6 dB. As a result of the optimization, it is seen that the 2S3P-PDFA system is more efficient than the 3S3P-PDFA system in terms of gain.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19663,"journal":{"name":"Optical Fiber Technology","volume":"95 ","pages":"Article 104388"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145047188","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
