The response of ultrashort-length CO2-induced long-period fiber grating (LPFG) sensors to torsion is reported. While engraving using CO2 laser radiation, the fiber is submitted to high tension allowing the obtainment of gratings with shorter lengths, down to 2.4 mm, which is almost one order of magnitude lower than the usual. Also, the fiber is only irradiated in one side, creating an asymmetrical profile leading to highly birefringent gratings. Sensitivity to axial twists is demonstrated, with values up to 0.15 nm/(rad/m) for the resonant wavelength shift and higher than 0.03 dBm/(rad/m) for the variation in the intensity (attenuation). Discrimination between rotation directions, clockwise and counterclockwise, was observed.

An extrinsic Fabry-Perot (F-P) interferometric (EFPI) sensor by using simple etching and fusing method is proposed and demonstrated. The cavity is formed by wet chemical etching of multi-mode fiber (MMF) end face in hydrofluoric acid solutions, and then it is fused to the end of a single-mode fiber (SMF) to form an extrinsic F-P structure. The strain and temperature of EFPI sensor are studied experimentally. The experimental results show that the interference wavelength becomes 2.648nm longer while the strain increases from 0N to 637N, and the strain sensitivity is about 0.004nm/N, and linearity is 0.999. The interference wavelength becomes 0.032nm shorter while the temperature increases from 20°C to 100°C. This kind of sensor has the many advantages of easy fabrication, good reliability, high-repetition, small size, low cost and mass-production, which offers great prospect for sensing applications.

Hollow-core photonic crystal glass fibers have a high potential for gas sensing applications, since large light-gas interaction lengths can be effectively attained. Nevertheless, in order to enhance effective diffusion of gas into the hollow-core fiber, multi-coupling gaps are often needed, which raise coupling loss issues that must be evaluated prior to the development of practical systems. In this paper, a study on the coupling losses dependence on lateral and axial gap misalignment for single-mode fiber and two different types of hollow-core photonic crystal glass fibers is carried out. In addition, an experimental technique on splicing these glass fibers is also described and some results are presented showing that low splice losses can be obtained with high reproducibility.
