Abstract
An ultra-high sensitive dual-parameter sensor based on double-hole fiber (DHF) is proposed for simultaneous detection of magnetic fields and temperatures. The sensor utilizes the DHF containing a Ge-doped core with two large air holes symmetrically arranged at its two sides. To enhance the sensitivity to both a magnetic field and temperature, Al wires with different diameters are embedded on the inner walls of the air holes in the DHF, creating a magnetic field sensing channel filled with magnetic fluid and a temperature sensing channel filled with thermo-sensitive liquid. Structural parameters and metal materials of the sensor are optimized by using the finite element method. Numerical results demonstrate that this DHF-based dual-parameter sensor can detect magnetic fields ranging from 40 Oe to 130 Oe and temperatures ranging from 24.3 °C to 49.3 °C simultaneously. The maximum magnetic field sensitivity reaches up to 64000 pm/mT, while the maximum temperature sensitivity is approximately 44.6 nm/°C, both exceeding current reports by more than one order of magnitude for simultaneous detection of magnetic field and temperature. With its high sensitivity, low fabrication difficulty, and simple structure, this DHF-based dual-parameter sensor has potential applications in the fields of material characterization analysis, geological environmental monitoring, and aeronautical engineering.
