Abstract
We demonstrate a novel all-fiber-optic temperature sensor based on a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) film coated onto a side-polished fiber (SPF). Significantly enhanced interaction between the propagating light and the rGO film can be obtained via strong evanescent field of the SPF. The strong light–graphene interaction results in temperature sensing with a maximum optical power variation of 11.3 dB in the SPF experimentally. The novel temperature fiber sensor has a linear correlation coefficient of 99.4%, a sensitivity of 0.134 dB °C−1, a precision of better than 0.03 °C, and a response speed of better than 0.0228 °C s−1. Such an rGO-based all-fiber-optic temperature sensor is easy to fabricate, is compatible with fiber-optic systems, and possesses high potentiality in photonics applications such as all-fiber-optic temperature sensing networks.
