| Title: | Reflective tilted fiber Bragg grating refractometer based on strong cladding to core recoupling | Authors: | Guo, T Tam, HY Krug, PA Albert, J |
Issue Date: | 30-Mar-2009 | Source: | Optics express, 30 Mar. 2009, v. 17, no. 7, p. 5736-5742 | Abstract: | A novel in-fiber structure for power-referenced refractometry with the capability to measure surrounding refractive index (SRI) as low as 1.33 is proposed and demonstrated. A short optical fiber stub containing a weakly tilted Bragg grating is spliced to another fiber with a large lateral offset. The reflection from this structure occurs in two well-defined wavelength bands, the Bragg reflected core mode and the cladding modes. The cladding modes reflect different amounts of power as the SRI changes, while the core-mode reflection from the same weakly tilted FBG remains unaffected by the SRI. The power reflected in the core mode band can be used as a reliable reference to cancel out any possible power fluctuations. The proposed refractometer with improved sensitivity for low SRI measurement together with the tip-reflection sensing feature, is a good candidate for sensing in chemical and biological applications. | Keywords: | Fiber Bragg gratings Optical instruments Reflection Refractive index Refractometers |
