Abstract

Tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) and reflective tilted fiber Bragg grating (R-TFBG) were proposed and demonstrated in the graded-index multimode fiber (GI-MMF). The TFBGs with grating planes tilted at an angle of 2.5° corresponding to the fiber axis were inscribed. The TFBGs in the GI-MMF had the good linear sensitivity to the temperature, strain and curvature. The fiber was then cleaved at the far end of the TFBG to form an R-TFBG using the Fresnel reflection of the fiber end. The reflective spectra of the R-TFBG were given, and the temperature sensing properties were also investigated.

Highlights

  • Tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) have been extensively investigated in recent years due to its unique properties in the field of sensing [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]

  • The fiber was cleaved at the far end of the TFBG to form an reflective tilted fiber Bragg grating (R-TFBG) using the Fresnel reflection of the fiber end

  • Wanseret et al [13] calculated the spectrum of a Bragg grating in the MMF and used it as a bend sensor

Summary

Introduction

Tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) have been extensively investigated in recent years due to its unique properties in the field of sensing [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12]. Mizunami et al [14] experimentally reported the spectral properties of MMF gratings and investigated the temperature sensing performance and the polarization characteristics. Two kinds of TFBG sensors are fabricated based on the graded-index multimode fiber, and the sensing properties are fully explored
