光纤光栅传感器应变传递影响参数研究

当光纤光栅传感器埋设在结构中或粘贴于结构表面后,由于中间层的存在使结构的真实应变和光纤光栅传感器所测得的应变之间存在一个传递系数。在已有的应变传递理论的基础上,经过分析得出影响光纤光栅传感器应变传递的主要因素,它们是光纤光栅传感器的长度、中间层的厚度、弹性模量和泊松比。结果表明,光纤光栅传感器平均应变传递随着传感器长度的增加而升高,随着中间层厚度的增大而降低,随着中间层的弹性模量的增加而增大;中间层的泊松比对平均应变传递率的影响很小,在设计中可以忽略。

Superstructured fiber-optic contact force sensor with minimal cosensitivity to temperature and axial strain

In this work a new superstructured, in-fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based, contact force sensor is presented that is based on birefringent D-shape optical fiber. The sensor superstructure comprises a polyimide sheath, a stress-concentrating feature, and an alignment feature that repeatably orients the sensor with respect to contact forces. A combination of plane elasticity and strain-optic models is used to predict sensor performance in terms of sensitivity to contact force and axial strain. Model predictions are validated through experimental calibration and indicate contact force, axial strain, and temperature sensitivities of 169.6 pm/(N/mm), 0.01 pm/με, and -1.12 pm/°C in terms of spectral separation. The sensor addresses challenges associated with contact force sensors that are based on FBGs in birefringent fiber, FBGs in conventional optical fiber, and tilted FBGs. Relative to other birefringent fiber sensors, the sensor has contact force sensitivity comparable to the highest sensitivity of commercially available birefringent fibers and, unlike other birefringent fiber sensors, is self-aligning with respect to contact forces. Unlike sensors based on Bragg gratings in conventional fiber and tilted Bragg gratings, the sensor has minimal cosensitivity to both axial strain and changes in temperature.     

Theoretical investigation on the temperature characteristics of liquid-cladding micro/nanofiber Bragg grating

Based on the functions of the effective refractive index of fundamental mode in step-index fiber, a theoretical mode about the Bragg wavelength shift of micro/nanofiber Bragg grating (MNFBG) is presented. The numerical simulation results demonstrate, for a MNFBG with given radius, the Bragg wavelength shifts to short wavelength as ambient temperature increases, and the reason results from the effective index decreasing with the increase of ambient temperature. Moreover, with the reduction of fiber-core radius, as well as the increase of ambient index and its thermo-optic coefficient, the temperature sensitivity, linearity and linear response range of the temperature-dependent Bragg wavelength shift are improved obviously. Especially for a MNFBG with fiber radius smaller than 0.5?μm, the linearity of Bragg wavelength shifting with temperature will be close to the theoretical limit, and the temperature sensitivity is proportional to the thermo-optic coefficient of the ambient liquid. Compared with the temperature properties of conventional fiber Bragg grating (FBG), all the results will provide much theoretical guides for FBG applied in fiber sensing and communication.     

Estimations of fiber Bragg grating parameters and strain gauge factor using optical spectrum and strain distribution information

An inverse approach based on an optimization technique is proposed to characterize a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and the strain gauge factor (GF) when the FBG is bonded on a structure. By bonding an FBG on a substrate and simply straining this FBG into a chirped fiber Bragg grating with a predesignated strain, the proposed method, based on an optimization technique, can be used to reconstruct seven parameters of the FBG from the corresponding reflective spectrum. The parameters identified are the length of an FBG, the grating period, the average refractive index, the index modulation, the apodization coefficient, the starting point bonded on the plate, and the strain GF. The information from the predesignated strain, as well as the measured reflective spectrum, is used as the objective function during the optimal search. As a result, the design sensitivity for the optimal search is much improved compared with the design sensitivity when only the reflective spectrum is used. In particular, the strain GF, which depends on the adhesive, the bonding layer characteristics, etc., can be determined in order to provide a reference for an FBG used as a strain sensor. Results from numerical simulations and experiments show that seven parameters of an FBG can be obtained accurately and efficiently.

Refractive index and temperature sensors based on no-core fiber cascaded with long period fiber grating

A kind of compact fibre-optic sensor based on no-core fibre (NCF) cascaded with a strong coupling long-period fibre grating (LPFG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The sensing mechanism is based on the Mach–Zehnder-like interference between the core fundamental mode and cladding mode of the fibre structure. The NCF and LPFG are used as the mode exciter and combiner, respectively. Due to the particular properties of the strong coupling LPFG, the measurements of refractive index (RI) and temperature with high sensitivity are realized by monitoring the transmission spectrum with intensity and wavelength interrogation techniques, respectively. The achieved RI sensitivity reaches ?580.269 dB/RIU in the range of 1.436–1.454 and the temperature sensitivity reaches 27.2 pm/°C.     

Performance analysis of a fiber Bragg grating filter-based strain/temperature sensing system based on a modified Gaussian function approximation method

This paper analyzes the performance of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) filter-based strain and/or temperature sensing system based on a modified Gaussian function (MGF) approximation method. Instead of using a conventional Gaussian function, we propose the MGF, which can capture the characteristics of the sidelobes of the reflected spectrum, to model the FBG sensor and filter. We experimentally demonstrate that, by considering the contributions of the sidelobes with the MGF approximation method, behaviors of the FBG filter-based FBG displacement and/or temperature sensing system can be predicted more accurately. The predicted behaviors include the saturation, the sensitivity, the sensing range, and the optimal initial Bragg wavelengths of the FBG sensing system.

Effects of fibre grating parameters on the spectral characteristics of cascaded long- and short-period gratings

Using coupled-mode theory combined with the transfer matrix method, this paper presents the impact of fibre grating parameters(grating period, grating length and average index modulation) and the separation between long-period fibre grating and fibre Bragg grating (FBG) on the reflection spectra of cascaded long-and short-period grating (CLBG). Two grating periods and two grating lengths have only impact on the two reflection peaks. The two resonance wavelengths shift towards the longer wavelength when the period of FBG decreases. Further, we study the sensing characteristics of coated CLBG. By analysing the relationship between the refractive index sensitivity and the thin film parameters (film refractive index and film thickness), the optimized parameters for the coated CLBG used as film sensor were obtained. Data simulation shows that the resolution of the refractive index of this coated CLBG film sensor is predicted to be 10^?6. This implies that the coated CLBG has an important application value in sensing and measurement field.
