U-shaped MZI optical fiber temperature sensor based on PDMS sensitization
We propose and demonstrate a U-shaped single mode fiber (SMF) temperature sensor based on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coating. A section of SMF is fused between two SMFs by core-offset and bent into a U-shaped to form a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure. PDMS is coated on the outside of SMF cladding to improve the sensitivity of fiber temperature sensing. The maximum temperature sensitivity of the proposed sensor is 1.2824 nm/°C in the temperature range of 25 °C–95 °C. When the PDMS coating outside the cladding of the SMF is removed, its temperature sensitivity is reduced by an order of magnitude to 0.1393 nm/°C. The optical fiber sensor based on PDMS sensitization has the advantages of high temperature sensing sensitivity, rugged and compact structure, simple fabrication, low cost, good repeatability and long-term stability.
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.
