According to the character of fiber-optic coupler, its coupling output is sensitive to the variation of coupling region’s length. A new kind of coupling fiber-optic vibration sensor is presented base on this principle. The theory of coupling single-mode fiber-optic sensor is analyzed. A prototype of fiber optic vibration detection system has been successfully built, including a sensor head, a low-cost control unit and a software package for signal processing with high resolution. The response of fiber-optic sensor and piezoelectric sensor to periodic vibration and shock is measured and the results of the coupling fiber-optic vibration sensor are closely in accordance with high precision piezoelectric sensor. The cross-axis anti-disturbance ability of the fiber-optic sensor is discussed in addition. Experimental results indicate that the coupling fiber-optic vibration sensor has favorable vibration detection capability; it can meet the requirement of vibration measurement.

A 3-aminopropyl-triethoxysilane (APES) fiber-optic sensor based on a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) was demonstrated. The MZI was constructed with a core-offset fusion single mode fiber (SMF) structure with a length of 3.0 cm. As APES gradually attaches to the MZI, the external environment of the MZI changes, which in turn causes change in the MZI’s interference. That is the reason why we can obtain the relationships between the APES amount and resonance dip wavelength by measuring the transmission variations of the resonant dip wavelength of the MZI. The optimized amount of 1% APES for 3.0 cm MZI biosensors was 3 mL, whereas the optimized amount of 2% APES was 1.5 mL.

This paper presents the newly designed fiber optic pressure sensor using the TR-EFPI fiber optic sensor with a single mode fiber (SMF), and a micro fabricated diaphragm. The output signal of TR-EFPI fiber optic pressure sensor can be easily analyzed based on the spliced loss based model and large deflection theory. Then, we can design the optimal length between the thin film of diaphragm and the end of single mode fiber. From these analyses, the relation between the applied pressure and the output signal of TR-EFPI fiber optic sensor can be simulated. Based on these processes, we can design the TR-EFPI fiber optic pressure sensor measuring various conditions by changing the size of thin film. As the newly designed TR-EFPI fiber optic pressure sensor can be fabricated in small size and has good sensitivity, it can be applied to medical instrument like pressure sensor and force sensor for catheter and minimally invasive surgery robot for safer surgery.

A temperature-insensitive fiber optic vibration sensor based on the tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) is presented. The sensing head is formed by insertion of a small section of MMF between a single-mode fiber and the TFBG. The reflection light from this tilted fiber Bragg grating includes two parts: the reflected Bragg mode and the cladding modes. The cladding modes were coupled back into the core mode as a function of the multimode fiber. The power of the cladding modes is sensitive to vibration, so the external vibration measurement can be obtained through the cladding mode average output power. Experiment results show that the root mean square (RMS) of the detection error of the average power was 0.01 μW within the temperature range from 20 to 70°C, so it is proved to be temperature independent; its frequency response has been tested to 1 KHz.

The fiber optic sensor measuring system based on the Mech-Zehnder interferometry is developed in the paper. The system can be used for the strain and vibration measurement of engineering structure, and has the advantages: convenient adjusting, stable performance and strong ability of anti-interference, etc. Therefore the fiber optic sensor has been widely used in the engineering field. First the system is introduced into measuring the frequency and amplitude of the vibration subjected to force of the FRP-concrete beam. The fiber optic sensor measuring system and the electronic measuring system are synchronous used for the measurement. The analysis results of fiber optic sensor measurement approximate to the results of electronic strain gauge. Then the system is introduced into experimental stress analysis on the gas pipe, good results is obtained too. The paper provides new technical equipment for the experimental testing of various engineering structure using fiber optic sensor, also establishes the technical foundation of the research of smart structure.
