Experimental study on vibration frequency response of micro-bend optic-fiber sensor

We make an experimental study on vibration frequency response of micro-bend optic-fiber sensor, and single-mode fibers and multi-mode fibers are used as the sensitive optic-fibers. Contrast between the two sensitive fibers is presented. Result shows that the micro-bend optic-fiber sensor has good frequency response characteristics and strong ability to restore the waveform. With the frequency varying in the range of 500 - 4762 Hz, the vibration sensors using multi-mode optic-fiber as the sensitive fiber is more sensitive than that using single-mode optic-fiber. And the former has better frequency response characteristics and stronger capacity of waveform revivification. But with the frequency in the range of 287 - 500 Hz, the latter is better.     

外力作用下熊猫型保偏光纤应力双折射分析

根据光弹性理论，列出熊猫型保偏光纤内的应力方程。由于保偏光纤具有轴对称性，故可以在分析过程中略去应力的轴向分量。利用傅里叶级数展开法分析了仅存在固有热应力时熊猫型保偏光纤内的应力分布，并进一步分析了外力作用下熊猫型保偏光纤的应力分布及应力双折射随应力分布所发生的变化。利用MATLAB进行了数值模拟，给出应力双折射量B随外力的变化曲线，并讨论了随应力区参数的增大，双折射量B先减小后增大的性质。
