Simultaneous measurement of the temperature and force using a steel cantilever soldered with a partially nickel coated in-fibre Bragg grating

A method for the simultaneous, independent measurement of temperature and force using a single in-fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors was proposed and demonstrated. The FBGs were partially metallized using a partial nickel coating method. A Bragg reflex peak was successfully divided into two reflex peaks during the partial nickel plating process. The metallized part of the FBG was soldered on a steel cantilever, and the non-metallized part hanged in air. Using a structure that is composed of the steel cantilever soldered with a dual-wavelength FBG, the temperature and pressure can be simultaneously measured and discriminated. The metallized part of the FBG is highly temperature-sensitive (about 26.1 pm/°C), and for the non-metallized part the original Bragg wavelength of the FBG remains unchanged. The force sensitivity of the metallized part which soldered on the cantilever remained at 82 pm/N from 30 to 90 °C.

Using of non-uniform stress effect to realize the tunable dispersion of the fiber Bragg grating with tapered metal coatings

A novel method of adjusting the dispersion of fiber Bragg grating is proposed using the non-uniform stress effect. By loading the axial stress on the fiber grating coated with non-uniform copper thin-film, the induced non-uniform stress effect can realize the tunable dispersion of grating. The non-uniform copper films are plated on the outer cladding of fiber grating and the thickness of the copper film gradually changes along the grating length. Numerical models are established to analyze the dynamic tunable characteristics of such grating when loading different axial stresses on it. The model is verified by experiments.

Experimental study of an actively mode-locked fiber ring laser based on in-fiber amplitude modulation

We report an experimental study of an actively mode-locked fiber ring laser based on the development of an efficient in-fiber amplitude modulator. Intermodal coupling induced by standing flexural acoustic waves permits the implementation of broad bandwidth (1.5 nm), high modulation depth (72%), low-insertion-loss (0.75 dB), in-fiber amplitude modulators, operating in the MHz frequency range. The experimental characterization of the laser as a function of the radio frequency voltage that controls the modulator, the length of the active fiber, and the optical bandwidth of an intracavity filter implemented with a fiber Bragg grating has led to an improved performance of the Erbium-doped fiber laser: optical pulses of 34-ps temporal width, 1.4-W peak power, and 4.75-MHz repetition rate.     

Tunable Bragg gratings for fiber lasers

A tuning method of a fiber Bragg grating by the bending compression-tension is considered. With this method, a relative tuning range of the resonance wavelength of the grating of about 5% has been obtained. The changes in the shape of the spectrum and in the grating reflectivity during the tuning process are studied. The reflectivity of the fiber Bragg grating has been found to considerably increase with increasing degree of compression. It is shown that such an increase is caused by compression-induced changes in the refractive index modulation amplitude in the grating. The fiber Bragg grating developed has been applied for tuning the radiation wavelength of an ytterbium fiber laser. The tuning range of the laser has been found to be 45 nm around the central wavelength 1080 nm.
