Theoretical Results

Abstract A novel liquid refractive index sensor based on the connected single-mode fiber (SMF), no-core fiber (NCF), four-core fiber (FCF), and silver mirror (SM) to form an SMF–NCF–FCF–SM Michelson probe structure is proposed and fabricated. The change of light field in the probe structure has been simulated by the light-beam propagation method. The theoretical results show that light is excited in the NCF and couples into the cores and cladding of FCF at the junction of NCF and FCF. The interference fringes are generated between the cladding modes and core modes of FCF. The sensitivities of the probe in NaCl, sucrose, and glycerol are 171.75 dB/RIU, 121.41 dB/RIU, and 207.50 dB/RIU, respectively. The temperature sensitivity is 0.05 nm/°C, and the intensity change of temperature (≤0.046 dB/°C) is very small and has little effect on the liquid refractive index. Thus, the cross-sensitivity of temperature for the liquid refractive index can be removed. The proposed probe structure has the advantages of easy fabrication, good stability, and linear response, having potential application in the liquid refractive index monitoring environments.

Drawing Technique

A novel intensity demodulated refractive index (RI) sensor is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated based on the front-tapered single-mode-multimode-single-mode (FT-SMS) fiber structure. The front taper is fabricated in a section of multimode fiber by flame-heated drawing technique. The intensity feature in the taper area is analyzed through the beam propagation method and the comprehensive tests are then conducted in terms of RI and temperature. The experimental results show that, in FT-SMS, the relative sensitivity is −342.815 dB/RIU in the range of 1.33~1.37. The corresponding resolution reaches 2.92 × 10−5 RIU, which is more than four times higher than that in wavelength demodulation. The temperature sensitivity is 0.307 dB/°C and the measurement error from cross-sensitivity is less than 2 × 10−4. In addition, fabricated RI sensor presents high stability in terms of wavelength (±0.045 nm) and intensity (±0.386 dB) within 2 h of continuous operation.
