Fiber-optic evanescent field absorption sensor: A theoretical evaluation

Abstract

A comparative study of the fiber-optic evanescent field absorption sensors based on parabolic, linear, and exponential-linear taper profiles has been carried out. The expressions for the effective evanescent absorption coefficient of the fluid have been derived for a diffuse source as well as a collimated source–microscope objective combination. It has been shown that the sensitivity of the sensor depends on the taper profile and the type of the source used in addition to the numerical aperture of the fiber and the refractive index of the fluid. For a given taper profile, the sensitivity is more in the case of the collimated source–microscope objective combination as compared to the diffuse source illumination. Further, the sensor with the exponential-linear taper profile is more sensitive than those having parabolic and linear profiles in the case of both sources.

An investigation into melt flow dynamics during repetitive pulsed laser drilling of transparent media

This paper presents an investigation into the dynamics of repetitive pulsed laser drilling of a visually transparent media using a CO₂ laser source. This enabled the use of a high-speed imaging system for observing, in real time, the behaviour of the drilling process in the laser drilled cavity of 1.5 mm diameter holes of up to 18.5 mm in depth. The work revealed that the instantaneous drilling velocity within each laser pulse can vary considerably from the average drilling velocity as a result of the non-uniform temporal pulse shape and the oscillation of the melt ejection rate. During beam breakthrough, both upward and downward melt ejections were observed to occur inside the drilled hole for a short period of time, after which the material was ejected through the exit end of the holes. It has been shown in this work that the downward melt flow velocity increases with hole depth for a positively tapered hole (from 0.09 to 1.43 m/s) and decreases with hole depth for a negatively tapered hole geometry (from 0.4 to 0.1 m/s), as a result of the change in the assist gas velocity inside the drilled hole with respect to the hole taper geometry. The mechanisms of forming the positively and negatively tapered holes in the transparent media have been correlated with the hole geometry and melt flow velocity. The work has demonstrated a new method of studying the melt dynamics in laser drilling.

Gas sensor response time analysis for tapered porous-clad fibers

The detection of gases with the use of ATR spectroscopy in a multimode step-index-tapered fiber with porous cladding has been described. Geometrical optics has been used to derive an expression for the time-dependent evanescent absorbance as the gas diffuses through the cladding. The ratio of the radii of core and cladding has been assumed to be constant throughout the length of the taper. It has been shown that the relative evanescent absorbance depends on the taper ratio. As the taper ratio increases, the response time of the sensor decreases.
