Abstract
A novel, low-cost, and simple dual-parameter measurement scheme based on a cascaded optical fiber device composed of a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) and an S fiber taper Mach-Zehnder interferometer (SFT-MZI) is proposed and demonstrated. The crosstalk problem is solved as different resonance peaks of the LPFG and the MZI possess different refractive index (RI) and temperature sensitivities. Experimental results show distinctive spectral sensitivities of -52.57 nm/refractive index unit (RIU) and 45.87 pm/°C by the LPFG, and 311.48 nm/RIU (in the RI range of 1.33-1.37) and 12.87 pm/°C by the SFT-MZI. The simultaneous measurement of external RI and the temperature is experimentally demonstrated by the sensor. The RI and temperature calculated by the sensor matrix agree well with the actual RI and temperature in the experiment.
