Analysis on strain transfer of a pasted FBG strain sensor

Optical fiber is not in direct contact with the material host in practice, so the strain measured by the Fiber-optic Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor is not the true strain. The transfer mechanism between the measured strain and the true strain depends on mechanical properties of fiber, protective layer, substrate, adhesive layer, and the material host. This paper analyzes the transfer mechanism of strain in detail, and proposes the shear stress distribution of polynomial form, and establishes the transfer function of strain. This paper also analyzes the influence on length of FBG sensor, adhesive layer thickness and elastic modulus on strain transfer coefficient in detail. The theoretical guidance for the practical application of the FBG sensor is given through the strain transfer analysis.     

Fabrication of 550 nm gratings in fused silica by laser induced backside wet etching technique

A series of 550 nm spacing gratings were fabricated in fused silica by laser induced backside wet etching (LIBWE) method using the fourth harmonic of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (wavelength: λ = 266 nm; pulse duration: FWHM = 10 ns). During these experiments we used a traditional two-beam interference method: the spatially filtered laser beam was split into two parts, which were interfered at a certain incident angle (2θ = 28°) on the backside surface of the fused silica plate contacting with the liquid absorber (saturated solution of naphthalene-methyl-methacrylate c = 1.85 mol/dm³). We studied the dependence of the quality and the modulation depth of the prepared gratings on the applied laser fluence and the number of laser pulses. The surface of the etched gratings was characterized by atomic force microscope (AFM). The maximum modulation depth was found to be 180-200 nm. Our results proved that the LIBWE procedure is suitable for production of submicrometer sized structures in transparent materials.

Motion characteristics of Bragg grating solitons in rectangle-apodized fiber Bragg gratings

We introduce both concave and convex rectangular apodizations in the middle of fiber Bragg gratings to achieve slow light. Based on the nonlinear coupled mode equations (NLCMEs), the transmission characteristics of grating solitons in rectangle-apodized gratings are numerically simulated and analyzed. The rectangular apodization can change the grating coupling coefficient to give rise to slow and capture the solitons in gratings. The effects of the soliton energy parameters, the width of rectangular apodization and the variation of the coupling coefficient on the soliton transmission are presented. The results show that, the velocity of solitons can be slowed down, and the capability to capture a soliton depends on the energy of input solitons, coupling coefficient, and the rectangular width. Two kinds of soliton capture methods are proposed and compared with each other.
