Temperature-insensitive strain measurement using differential double Bragg grating technique

A novel differential double Bragg grating sensor for temperature-insensitive strain measurement is presented. The sensor consists of two identical weak measuring and reference gratings separated by some distance. The reference grating is placed inside the silica capillary that made it almost strain insensitive. The basic idea in differential double Bragg grating sensor is to measure the energy of the oscillating term in the reflection spectrum of double Bragg grating structure. The normalized energy of the interference term depends on the pitch difference of the two gratings and does not change when pitch variations of both gratings are equal with temperature variation. Therefore, the normalized energy of the interference term can be used for the temperature-insensitive strain measurement.

A refractive index (RI) sensor based on a novel fiber structure that consists of a single-mode-multimode-single-mode (SMS) fiber structure followed by a fiber Bragg grating was demonstrated. The multimode fiber in the SMS structure excites cladding modes within output single-mode fiber (SMF) and recouple the reflected cladding Bragg wavelength to the input SMF core. By measuring the relative Bragg wavelength shift between core and cladding Bragg wavelengths, the RI can be determined. Experimentally we have achieved a maximum sensitivity of 7.33 nm/RIU (RI unit) at RI range from 1.324 to 1.439.
