In this paper, we report a new type of refractometer based on a D-shaped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) integrated in a loop-mirror optical fiber laser. This proposed sensor is used in wavelength interrogation method, in which the D-shaped FBG is applied as a refractive index (RI) sensing probe and a mirror to select mode of laser. The D-shaped FBG is prepared by the removal of a portion of the fiber cladding covering the FBG by means of side-polishing technique. The D-shaped FBG sensing probe integrated in a loop-mirror optical fiber laser with saturated pump technique, the characteristics of sensing signals have been improved to obtain stable intensity, narrower bandwidth and higher optical signal-to-noise ratio compare to normal reflection configuration. The limit of detection (LOD) of this sensor can be achieved to 2.95 x 10-4 RIU in the refractive index (RI) range of 1.42-1.44. Accordingly, we believe that the proposed refractometer has a huge potential for applications in biochemical-sensing technique.

Current Monitoring

The fiber Bragg grating (FBG) technology is studied based on the current monitoring status of the highway soft ground settlement, for instance, the low degree of automation, the unsatisfied accuracy of the device, the slow data transmission and the greater measurement errors. The limited measuring range and the difficult situations of the soft ground burying and installing of the fiber optic sensor still need to be addressed. This thesis has analyzed the development of the long range optical fiber displacement sensor as well as its burying techniques which are suitable for soft ground settlement monitoring. Both of them have been successfully applied to De Chang Highway D10 subject. The study also shows that the long range optical fiber displacement sensor is able to meet the requirements of the soft ground monitoring. And data can be accurately monitored by means of real-time or on-line continuously. This is of great significance in pushing forward the development of the fiber optical monitoring technology in the field.

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) accelerometers using transverse forces have higher sensitivity but lower resonant frequency than ones using axial forces. By shortening the distance between the two fixed ends of the FBG, the resonant frequency can be improved without lowing the sensitivity. Here, a compact FBG accelerometer using transverse forces with a slightly pre-relaxed FBG and 25mm distance between the two fixed ends has been demonstrated with the crest-to-trough sensitivity 1.1nm/g at 5Hz and the resonant frequency 42Hz. It reveals that making the FBG slightly pre-relaxed rather than pre-stretched also improves the tradeoff between the sensitivity and resonant frequency. Full Text: PDF References:Kawasaki, B.

Distributed Optical Fiber

The paper reports the application of the distributed optical fiber sensing technology and the FBG sensing technology in bridge strain monitoring; the overall changeable characteristics of the whole structure can be obtained through the distributed optical fiber sensing technology (BOTDA), meanwhile the accurate information of local important parts of the structure can be obtained through the optical fiber Bragg grating sensor (FBG), which can improve the accuracy of the monitoring. FBG sensor has a high sensitivity, but it can only realize the measurement of local discrete points for the quasidistributed sensing. BOTDA can realize the long distance and distributed measurement, but its spatial resolution is not high. FBG and BOTDA were applied together in bridge monitoring in this test, taking full advantage of the distributed BOTDA on the overall strain measurements of the structure, as well as monitoring the key parts by the arrangement of FBG. The combined application of BOTDA and FBG can achieve the overall monitoring from point to line and then to the surface and, therefore, obtain more comprehensive information on the strain of the test structure.
