Abstract
A dual-wavelength fiber ring laser based on multimode fiber-polarization maintaining fiber Bragg grating-multimode fiber (MMF-PMFBG-MMF) filter for simultaneously axial strain, temperature and refractive index (RI) sensing is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In the ring laser, stable dual-wavelength lasing is determined by the MMF-PMFBG-MMF filter with two polarization states. The fiber birefringence affected by axial strain is far less than the effect of the temperature. Through monitoring the variations of each wavelength shift and output power, the simultaneous measurement for the axial strain, temperature and RI is realized. In our experiment, the proposed fiber laser sensor exhibits an axial strain sensitivity of 1.16 × 10-3nm/με and an RI sensitivity of 81.2dB/RIU. Meanwhile, the temperature sensitivities of two wavelengths are experimentally measured to be 9.74 × 10-3nm/°C and 9.2 × 10-3nm /°C, respectively.
