Photonic crystal fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer with microholes ablated by a femtosecond laser for refractive index sensing

A new structure of the photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based Mach-Zednder interferometer (MZI) is fabricated and presented. The structure has microholes ablated by a femtosecond laser. The fringe visibility can be enhanced more than 10.dB compared with the interferometer without a microhole. The interferometer is characterized by sodium chloride solutions for refractive index (RI) sensing. The RI sensitivities are greatly increased by the hole fabrication since it directly changes the cladding modes of the PCF. For the interferometer sensor with two holes, the RI sensitivity is 157.74 nm/RIU, which is 5.times than that of the sensor without a microhole. Microholes ablation with a femtosecond laser on PCF can increase the sensor''s sensitivity dramatically. Femtosecond laser has a wide application prospect in the field of performance improvement of the sensors.     

混合邻间对甲酚制备化工中间体的工艺研究

以介孔分子筛为催化剂,催化烷基化混合邻间对甲酚制备6-叔丁基邻甲酚、6-叔丁基间甲酚、2-叔丁基对甲酚混合液,并精馏获得三种叔丁基甲酚纯品。考查了催化剂用量、异丁烯用量、反应温度等反应条件对烷基化反应的影响,确定了最佳工艺条件。结果表明,催化剂为三混甲酚用量的2.0%(质量),异丁烯用量与三混甲酚用量之比为1.05∶1(摩尔比),最佳反应温度为95℃的反应条件下,三混甲酚的总转化率达到96.25%以上,反应液中目标产品含量达94.67%,产品选择性可达98.36%。精馏后,6-叔丁基邻甲酚、6-叔丁基间甲酚、2-叔丁基对甲酚三种产品的质量含量分别为99.75%、99.57%、99.54%。整个工艺过程安全环保,成本低,能耗低,收益高。

High resolution angular-displacement sensor based on whispering gallery mode resonance in bent optical fibers

A simple fiber sensor to measure angular displacement with high resolution,which is based on whispering gallery mode(WGM)resonance in bent optical fibers,is proposed.The sensor is composed of a single loop formed by loosely tying a knot using single mode fiber.To measure the transmission spectra,a tunable laser and an optic power meter are connected to the two ends of fiber loop,respectively.Significant WGM resonances occur over the investigated wavelength range for all the sensors with different bend radius.The angular-displacement sensitivity is studied in the range from-0.1°to 0.1°.The detection limit of1.49×10-7 rad can be achieved for the detecting system with the resolution of 1pm.The simple loopstructure fiber sensor has potential application prospect in the field of architecture or bridge building with low detection limit and low cost.
