Abstract
We present a fiber laser temperature sensor based on temperature dependence whisper gallery mode-based microcavity. Three different thermo-optic coefficient liquids are injected into a thin wall thickness microtubule for different temperature sensitivity of whisper gallery mode shift. The sensor temperature sensitivity increases with the absolute value of the liquid core thermo-optic coefficient. The theoretical model of whisper gallery mode temperature response is analyzed. A liquid core microtubule is inserted into the erbium-doped fiber ring laser cavity as the optical filter and sensing unit simultaneously, so the lasing wavelength can be used to detect the temperature change of the medium. Due to the narrow spectral width of sensing laser, a high sensing resolution system is experimentally confirmed. With the combination of liquid core to increase the sensitivity and fiber ring laser cavity to increase sensing resolution, the high sensitivity 112.8 pm/°C of sensing system is demonstrated and the thermal resolution is 8.16 × 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-3</sup> °C.
