Abstract
Utilization fiber optics macro-bending will be useful for non-destructive applications, such as a mass measurement device. This research, therefore, analyzes the fiber optic power loss due to macro bending by mass loading and explores its possible application as an instrument of mass scale. A single-mode fiber (SMF) with a core diameter of 8.2μm and laser with a wavelength of 1310 nm and 1550 nm are used in this work. Moreover, an optical power meter with a sensitivity of 0.01dBm is applied as the detector while power loss is determined using nine bending cylinders that can produce eighteen bends with a roundtrip system. It is obtaineda correlation coefficient R 2 of 0.9910 and 0.9959 corresponding to a sigmoid of 4 parameters for two-wavelength sources of 1310nm and 1550nm, respectively. The results showed mass suppression can produce a power loss with a relatively small error of 19.60%, 11.23%, 0.20%, 3.74%, and 9.36% for mass 300g, 600g, 100 g, 1400g, and 1800g, respectively
Highlights
The use of optical fiber as a data transmission medium cannot be associated with the power losses causing loss of signal
It is important to note that the amount of the power lost is proportional to the level of curvature received by the optical fibers and this means it is possible to obtain the desired amount through the adjustment of curve magnitude [3]
The single-mode fiber (SMF) that has not experienced curvature was used as the calibrating instrument while the effects of the power losses were measured on two-wavelength variations of 1310nm and 1550nm
Summary
The use of optical fiber as a data transmission medium cannot be associated with the power losses causing loss of signal. There are some inevitable ones, and an example involves macro bendingrelated cases where optical fiber is tangled with a radius larger than the core radius [1]. This further leads to variations in the core and cladding refractive index to produce changes in the direction of light propagation which causes power losses [2]. This, means power loss has the potential to be used as a mass measurement instrument but the process requires several criteria including range, sensitivity, and accuracy to ensure efficiency [4] This fiber-optic measuring instrument offers several benefits, including electromagnetic resistance [5] and electrical interference [6]
