A highly sensitive strain sensor based on a helical-core long-period fiber grating (HC-LPFG) is proposed and experimentally investigated. The helical core is fabricated in the common single-mode fiber by using a high-frequency CO laser and hydrogen-oxygen flame. This helical shape core of the structure experienced the highly centralized refractive index modulation, which enhances the strain sensitivity and shortens the length of the sensing area to 2 mm. Experimental results indicate that the maximum strain sensitivity of the HC-LPFG reaches -97 pm/µɛ within the measuring range of 0-400 µɛ.
提出并通过实验研究了一种基于螺旋芯长周期光纤光栅(HC-LPFG)的高灵敏度应变传感器。通过使用高频CO激光和氢氧火焰在普通单模光纤中制造螺旋芯。该结构的这种螺旋形芯经历了高度集中的折射率调制,这提高了应变灵敏度并将传感区域的长度缩短至2 mm。实验结果表明,在0-400 µɛ的测量范围内,HC-LPFG的最大应变灵敏度达到-97 pm/µɛ。
