A new methodology to enhance the sensitivity of a long period fiber grating sensor (LPFG) at the Turn Around Point (TAP) is here presented. The LPFG sensor has been fabricated by etching the fiber up to 20.4 µm, until the sidelobes of dispersed LP cladding mode appeared near TAP in aqueous medium. The dual peak sensitivity of the sidelobes was found to be 16,044 nm/SRIU (surrounding refractive index units) in the RI range from 1.333 to 1.3335.
本文提出了一种提高长周期光纤光栅传感器(LPFG)在折返点(TAP)处灵敏度的新方法。通过将光纤蚀刻至20.4 µm来制造LPFG传感器,直至在水介质中TAP附近出现分散的LP包层模旁瓣。在1.333至1.3335的折射率范围内,发现旁瓣的双峰灵敏度为16,044 nm/SRIU(周围折射率单位)。
