Title: | Fabrication of a compact reflective long-period grating sensor with a cladding-mode-selective fiber end-face mirror | Authors: | Jiang, M Zhang, AP Wang, YC Tam, HY He, S |
Issue Date: | 28-Sep-2009 | Source: | Optics express, 28 Sept. 2009, v. 17, no. 20, p. 17976-17982 | Abstract: | A long-period grating (LPG) based compact optical fiber sensor working in reflection mode is demonstrated. A technique to make a mirror on the cladding region of a fiber end-face to reflect only the cladding modes was realized by growing a polymeric microtip on the core region of the fiber end-face, by photopolymerization, followed by coating the fiber end-face with an aluminum film. Using the cladding-mode-selective fiber end-face mirror, the transmission spectrum of the LPG was “inverted” and reflected. Preliminary results of using the sensor to measure the refractive index of glycerol/water solutions were successfully demonstrated. | Keywords: | Alumina Cladding (coating) Mirrors Optical fiber fabrication Optical fibers Photopolymerization Refractive index Sensors |
