A polybutylene terephthalate (c-PBT) coating for enhancing the temperature sensitivity of a fiber Bragg grating- (FBG-) based sensor is proposed and demonstrated. The coating is seen to increase the sensitivity of the proposed sensor by a factor of approximately 11 times as compared to a bare FBG, giving a Bragg wavelength shift of 0.11 nm/°C with an operating temperature ranging from 30°C to 87°C. The proposed sensor is also easy to fabricate as compared to other similarly coated FBG sensors, giving it a significant advantage for field applications with the added advantage of being easily reformed to fit various housings, making it highly desirable for multiple real-world applications.

This paper presents early work on Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as temperature sensor to monitor temperature variation inside a packed-bed non-thermal plasma reactor. FBG made from germania-doped fiber with center Bragg wavelength of 1552.5 nm was embedded inside non-thermal plasma reactor with sphere shape dielectric bead (barium titanate) and used to probe the temperature variation inside the reactor. The experimental works have proven that FBG is a suitable sensor to monitor temperature variation inside of reactor via LabVIEW program. Besides that, Optical Spectrum Analyzer (OSA) recorded Bragg wavelength shift as voltage of power supply increases, which indicate the non-uniform temperature variation occurring inside the reactor. However, it does not affect the chemical reaction inside the reactor because the temperature condition is in steady state.

This paper demonstrates the fabrication of radiation-resistant fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors using infrared femtosecond laser irradiation. FBG sensors were written inside acrylate-coated fluorine-doped single-mode specialty optical fibers. We detected the Bragg resonance at 1542 nm. By controlling the irradiation conditions, we improved the signal strength coming out from the FBG sensors. A significant reduction in the Bragg wavelength shift was detected in the fabricated FBG sensors for a radiation dose up to 105 gray, indicating excellent radiation resistance capabilities. We also characterized the temperature sensitivity of the radiation-resistant FBG sensors and detected outstanding performance.

Optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) can achieve the higher precision and sensitivity, but it is disadvantageous for translating optical signal into electrical signal. A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) matched filtering system based on equi-intensity cantilever beam was presented in this paper. Strain characteristics in different location of cantilever beam were described, and the strain sensitivity of matching grating demodulation based on equi-intensity cantilever beam was deduced mathematically. Strain characteristics of cantilever beam were verified, and the sensing effect of the system was tested. The Bragg wavelength shift range of the demodulating FBG placed on the cantilever beam reached 10 nm, and scanning velocity was 0.125 nm/s. The system could demodulate slow-altered sensing signal accurately and rapidly.

The low refractive index sensing principle of the fiber Bragg grating (FBG) was analyzed theoretically, the temperature compensation scheme corresponding to the theoretical model was established. A single-end etched FBG was designed and fabricated for simultaneous measurement of temperature and refractive index. The experimental results demonstrated that the Bragg wavelength shift exhibits a nonlinear behavior with the temperature and yeast refractive index changes. The temperature change to the influence of the sensor was eliminated by numerical analysis, and then the relationship between the Bragg wavelength shift and the yeast refractive index is linear, the sensor yeast refractive index sensitivity of 5.42nm/riu was obtained.

In this work, measurement of temperature and liquid level were performed simultaneously using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors. A multi-channel Fibre Interrogator with built-in ASE laser source operating around 1552 to 1568 nm was employed to record a shift in Bragg wavelength due to contribution from both temperature and hydrostatic pressure of liquid weight in the tank. Results show a linear response between liquid level and temperature readings against the shift in Bragg wavelength for liquid level up to 85 cm in height and the temperature range of 27 to 77 oC. The sensitivity of the sensor head for water level measurement is 10.57 pmcm-1, while the sensitivity for temperature measurement is 11.28 pm/oC respectively.

Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor coated with PAni was designed as a sensing device in chloroform detection. PAni thin film was synthesized through chemical oxidation method by using aniline (Ani) as a monomer, ammonium persulphate (APS) as an initiator and dioctyl sodium sulfosuccinate (AOT) as a dopant. The chemical structure of PAni thin film was confirmed by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrometer. The conducting behaviour of PAni thin film (1.157 × 10−2 S/cm) was determined by using four-point probe measurement. In the optical sensor part, FBG was etched in hydrofluoric acid solution (48% HF) to remove the cladding layer on fiber before coated with PAni. The response of this sensor was monitored based on the different of Bragg wavelength shift at ∼1557 nm in an optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) detector. PAni-coated FBG significantly increased in the Bragg wavelength shift (sensitivity = 0.0009) compared with uncoated FBG (sensitivity = 0.0002). The interaction between PAni and chloroform was significantly confirmed by the “polaron peak ratio” (Pf/Pi) and “quinoid and benzenoid peak ratio” (IQ/ IB) through UV-vis and FTIR spectroscopy analysis. In this study, FBG sensor coated with PAni thin film had been found as an efficient sensor in chloroform detection with fast response time (7 s).

The Relationship

In this paper, measurement method for the refractive index of chemical substances based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor was proposed. The relation between Bragg wavelength shift and surrounding refractive index (SRI) was analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The SRI sensitivity of the chemical sensor could be enhanced by reducing the cladding thickness of the FBG using hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution etching process. The experimental results indicated that the variation of Bragg wavelength increased as the SRI increased. In the low SRI region, the relationship between the Bragg wavelength shift and the change of the SRI was approximately linear.

This paper reports a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) as a biosensor. The FBGs were etched using a chemical agent,namely,hydrofluoric acid (HF). This implies the removal of some part of the cladding layer. Consequently, the evanescent field propagating out of the core will be closer to the environment and become more sensitive to the change in the surrounding. The proposed FBG sensor was utilized to detect toxic heavy metal ions aqueous medium namely, copper ions (Cu2+). Two FBG sensors were etched with 20 and 40 μm diameters and fabricated. The sensors were studied towards Cu2+ with different concentrations using wavelength shift as a result of the interaction between the evanescent field and copper ions. The FBG sensors showed a good response in terms of significant wavelength shift in corresponding to varying Cu2+ concentrations when immersed in aqueous mediums. The sensors exhibited excellent repeatability towards Cu ions.The results demonstrate that the smaller FBG etching diameter, the better optical response in terms of wavelength and linearity.
