Temperature-insensitive U-shaped liquid level sensor based on single-mode fiber cascaded with double spheres
A temperature-insensitive U-shaped liquid level sensor based on single-mode fiber (SMF) cascaded with double spheres is proposed. Cladding modes are excited by spherical structures. U-shaped liquid level sensors are made by flame-burning the center of the sensing region, cladding modes are further excited due to fiber bending and create more mode interference. To study the sensitivities of the sensors, U-shaped fiber optic liquid level sensors with different bending diameters are simulated and fabricated. As the level rises, there is a significant red shift in the interference dip. The experimental results indicate that the sensitivity of the liquid level is as high as 410.51 pm/mm in the range of 0–30 mm. The sensor exhibits insensitive properties from 20℃ to 70℃. In addition, the sensor has low cost, high sensitivity, and simple structure advantages, which makes it used in petrochemical and other applications.
