大孔柚子型微结构光纤探针的表面增强拉曼散射性能研究

随着光纤制备工艺以及纳米材料制备技术的发展,光纤探针已成为一种新型的表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)基底,通过在普通单模光纤或多模光纤上制备不同的结构并修饰相应的纳米材料,可以得到多种类型的光纤表面增强拉曼散射探针,并实现较好的检测效果。但受限于光纤本身的结构,普通光纤仅能利用端面或侧表面提供拉曼检测的“热点”区域,限制了其SERS性能的进一步提高。因此制备了大孔柚子型微结构光纤(MSF)表面增强拉曼散射(SERS)探针,其中大孔柚子型MSF SERS探针结构通过一段阶跃多模光纤与柚子型微结构光纤熔接制得。实验分别对自制的纳米银溶胶基底以及大孔柚子型MSF SERS探针的SERS性能进行检测。采用溶胶自组装法制备负载银纳米颗粒的MSF SERS探针,通过控制自组装时间制备不同光纤SERS探针(Ag/MSF-x,其中x为自组装时间,分别为15、 30、 45、 60 min)。采用溶液检测方法,利用Ag/MSF-x探针对10^-3 mol·L^-1的亚甲基蓝(MB)探针分子进行检测,通过比较相同条件下的增强效果筛选得到Ag/MSF-45探针。为进一步检...

A robust salinity sensor based on encapsulated long-period grating in microfiber

A robust fiber sensor for salinity measurement based on encapsulated long-period grating in microfiber is proposed. The long-period grating is fabricated in microfiber by inducing periodical deformation with CO2 laser, which is then encapsulated in a holey capillary tube. The encapsulation tube is designed to effectively protect the microfiber from external interference, but does not change the optical properties of the fiber and the response speed of the sensor, which makes the sensor more robust for real applications. Experimental results show that the sensor can achieve a sensitivity of 2.16 nm/% with a good linearity for concentration from 0% to 20%. It is theoretically proved that the sensitivity can be further improved by optimizing the diameter parameters. Such structure may be used as low loss evanescent-wave-coupled optical absorption, fluorescent and gain cells, photoacoustic cells, and etc.     

All-fiber mode converter based on superimposed long period fiber gratings

In this paper, a novel broadband all-fiber mode converter is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Through writing a pair of superimposed long period fiber gratings (SLPFGs) in tow-mode fiber (TMF) with a CO₂ laser, the mode converter can realize the conversion from LP₀₁ to LP₁₁ owing to the phase matching condition. Numerical and experimental results show that the bandwidth of this mode converter is 3 times broader than that of a single grating converter. The converter has low loss, high coupling efficiency, small size and is easy to fabricate, so it can be widely used in mode-division multiplexing.     

A compact electro-absorption modulator based on graphene photonic crystal fiber

A compact electro-absorption modulator based on graphene photonic crystal fiber is proposed. To enhance the graphene–light interaction efficiency, the innermost six air-holes of photonic crystal fiber are replaced by two large semicircular holes, and monolayer graphene is deposited on the two large semicircular holes. By optimizing the structure parameters, a strong graphene–light interaction is obtained. Moreover, the switch on–off point of the modulator is unchangeable,which is only related to the frequency of the incident light. The influence factors of this composite structure have been analyzed. The proposed modulator is compared with other graphene-based modulators, and the results show that it is filled without dielectric spacer. There are some excellent performances, such as an extinction ratio 7 dB of y-polarization mode,3-dB modulation bandwidth of 70 GHz with small footprint of 205 μm, and a consumption of energy per bit 59 pJ/bit.

Wavelength and sensitivity tunable long period gratings fabricated in fluid-cladding microfibers

We report the fabrication of long period gratings in fluid-cladding microfibers by directly focusing a femtosecond laser beam on the microfibers surface to induce periodical modification a long one side of the microfibers.A long period grating is fabricated in a water-cladding microfiber with a diameter of~5μm,which demonstrates a resonant attenuation of 28.53 dB at wavelength of 1588.1 nm with 10 pitches.When water cladding is changed to be refractive index oil of n=1.33 and alcohol solution with concentration of 5%,the resonance wavelength shifts to 1575.1 nm with resonant attenuation of 24.91 dB and 1594.1 nm with resonant attenuation of 35.9 dB,respectively.The long period grating demonstrates different temperature sensitivities of-0.524 nm/℃,-0.767 nm/℃and-1.316 nm/℃for water,alcohol solution and refractive index oil cladding microfibers,respectively,which means the alterable liquid cladding allows the availability of tunable wavelength and sensitivity.The fluid-cladding protects the microfibers from external disturbance and contamination and allows more flexibility in controlling the transmission property and sensing characteristics of long period gratings,which can be used as fiber devices and sensors for chemical,biological,and environmental applications.
