Structure design of refractive index sensor based on LPFG with double-layer coatings

Based on the coupled-mode theory, the mode transition and transmittance of LP modes in an LPFG with double-layer coatings are studied theoretically. As a refractive index sensor, this LPFG structure is designed for high sensitivity by selecting a suitable thickness and refractive index of the double-layer coatings. Date simulation indicates that the effective index of the LP cladding mode increases in steps with the first coating thickness, thus LP mode is guided to the overlay and the mode transition takes place, where the LP modes can be easily affected by the ambient. Thereby, the coated LPFG sensor should be designed to operate at the transition region. In addition, the effective refractive index of LP cladding modes also increases in steps with the refractive index of the second overlay. For the higher order LP modes, the transition regions are broaden and the dynamic responses are greater than the lower LP modes, which means the higher order LP modes can be used for lower index overlay sensing. Further, the transmittance spectrum, sensitivity and measurable dynamic range of this LPFG are analyzed. The sensitivity of the LPFG sensor is available to $10^{3}$ with suitable overlay thickness and measurable dynamic range of the sensitive film refractive index is available to $10^{-2}$ . So the presented LPFG sensor enhances the design flexibility and enlarges the scope of application, which will likely be developed for high sensitivity LPFG sensors.     

Optical fiber methane sensor based on SAN film containing cryptophane-E-（OEt）_6

A novel long-period fiber grating (LPFG) film methane sensor is designed and applied successfully. The sensor is constructed by depositing a thin styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) film containing the new compound cryptophane-E-(OEt)6 onto the cladding surface of the LPFG. This film is sensitive to methane gas. Methane causes a change in the refractive index of the sensing film, which can be measured by shifting the resonance wavelength. Experimental results show that the resonant wavelength shifts to the longer wavelength, with increasing methane concentration at a range of 0.0%-3.5% (v/v). A linear relationship is obtained within the test range. Detection limit is estimated at 0.2%, and response time is 60 s. No significant interference is detected from dry air, O2 , CO, CO2 , and H2 . This novel methane sensing material has great application potential due to its advantages.     

Design of a coated thinly clad chalcogenide long-period fiber grating refractive index sensor based on dual-peak resonance near the phase matching turning point

A novel method for designing chalcogenide long-period fiber grating (LPFG) sensors based on the dual-peak resonance effect of the LPFG near the phase matching turning point (PMTP) is presented. Refractive index sensing in a high-refractive-index chalcogenide fiber is achieved with a coated thinly clad film. The dual-peak resonant characteristics near the PMTP and the refractive index sensing properties of the LPFG are analyzed first by the phase-matching condition of the LPFG. The effects of film parameters and cladding radius on the sensitivity of refractive index sensing are further discussed. The sensor is optimized by selecting the appropriate film parameters and cladding radius. Simulation results show that the ambient refractive index sensitivity of a dual-peak coated thinly clad chalcogenide LPFG at the PMTP can be 2400 nm/RIU, which is significantly higher than that of non-optimized gratings. It has great application potential in the field of chemical sensing and biosensors.

Bend-insensitive long-period fiber grating sensors

A novel bend-insensitive long-period fiber grating (LPFG) sensor written using focused CO₂ laser pulses is demonstrated, for the first time, to our knowledge. It is found that the central wavelength shift of such a LPFG is only −0.018 nm even for a curvature of 1.1 m⁻¹ at the most bend-insensitive position of the LPFG. Experimental results show that the bend sensitivity of the central wavelength of the LPFG has a periodic distribution along its circular directions. Such a bend-insensitive sensor could be used to solve the problem of cross-sensitivity between bend and other measurands, such as temperature, strain or refractive index, which is an unsolved problem for LPFG sensors in practice. In addition, the bend sensitivity of the LPFG can be adjusted by selecting its circular positions.
