| Title: | Highly sensitive miniature fluidic flowmeter based on an FBG heated by Co2+-doped fiber | Authors: | Liu, ZY Htein, L Cheng, LK Martina, Q Jansen, R Tam, HY |
Issue Date: | 20-Feb-2017 | Source: | Optics express, 20 Feb. 2017, v. 25, no. 4, p. 4393-4402 | Abstract: | In this paper, we present a miniature fluidic flow sensor based on a short fiber Bragg grating inscribed in a single mode fiber and heated by Co2+-doped multimode fibers. The proposed flow sensor was employed to measure the flow rates of oil and water, showing good sensitivity of 0.339 nm/(m/s) and 0.578 nm/(m/s) for water and oil, flowing at v = 0.2 m/s. The sensitivity can be increased with higher laser power launched to the Co2+-doped multimode fibers. A small flow rate of 0.005 m/s and 0.002 m/s can be distinguished for a particular phase of water or oil, respectively, at a certain laser power (i.e. similar to 1.43W). The flow sensor can measure volume speed up to 30 L/min, which is limited by the test rig. The experimental results show that the sensor can discriminate slight variation of flow rates as small as 0.002m/s. | Publisher: | Optical Society of America | Journal: | Optics express | EISSN: | 1094-4087 | DOI: | 10.1364/OE.25.004393 | Rights: | © 2017 Optical Society of America © 2017 Optica Publishing Group.
