Description

Fibre cladding surface Bragg grating biochemical sensor and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to Fibre Optical Sensor, be specifically related to fibre cladding surface Bragg grating biochemical sensor and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
The advantages such as fiber grating is strong with its miniature sizes, antijamming capability, high sensitivity, absolute measurement, for the application of optical sensor family oil field and many other fields under the structure monitoring, sea of military and civil engineering provides important means.Exploitation has become one of study hotspot of the crossing domain of optical sensing and the subject such as biological chemistry, biomedicine to the fiber grating biochemical sensor of outside medium refraction index sensitivity.As the detection of bacterial virus in the screening of measurement of blood sugar concentration, medicine, food, the in-situ monitoring of DNA hybridization, bio-molecular interaction, the detection etc. of hydrogen, TNT explosive, all measured the change of external agency refractive index by fiber grating biochemical sensor, indirectly estimate the value of tested parameter or the status information of assessment biochemical process parameter.
Fiber grating comprises optical fiber Bragg raster and long period fiber grating two kinds of fundamental types.Wherein, long period fiber grating is to cladding mode in the same way by core mode, the impact that the evanscent field of cladding mode can be subject to outside testing medium causes the change of its resonance wavelength or intensity to be measured, therefore long period fiber grating does not need the sensing that can realize refractive index through any process in essence, but, long period fiber grating is refractive index sensitivity very not only, and to the physical parameter such as temperature, strain also sensitivity very, therefore, when being applied to the sensing of biochemical aspect, serious cross sensitivity problem can be there is; In addition, the general >20nm of 3dB resonant bandwidth of long period fiber grating, therefore it is lower to the accuracy of detection of outside parameter in theory.
And optical fiber Bragg raster be in the same way fibre core basic mode to the coupling of reverse fibre core basic mode, the energy of its evanscent field is only confined to the inside of fibre core, therefore it refractive index is insensitive in essence, only to temperature, strain or presser sensor, but the 3dB resonant bandwidth of optical fiber Bragg raster very narrow (0.1nm ~ 0.5nm), therefore, it is very high to the accuracy of detection of outside parameter in theory; In addition, the temperature/strain sensitivity of the temperature/strain sensitivity longer cycle of optical fiber Bragg raster is much lower, and therefore its cross-sensitivity is very little.More than ten years in past, in order to make traditional fiber Bragg grating pair external agency refractive index responsive, many people adopt chemical solution to corrode or the method for side grinding removes whole covering of optical fiber Bragg raster or most of covering, form the Bragg grating (diameter 3 μm ~ 15 μm of micron diameter magnitude, length 1mm ~ 20mm), so the evanscent field of its core mode can be made to be transmitted in outside testing medium, then optical fiber Bragg raster will will very responsive to the change of outside medium refraction index, thus can biological chemistry be applied to, medical science, the various parameter of the association areas such as life science and detection.But there is many shortcomings in the method for chemical corrosion or side grinding optical fiber Bragg raster covering, such as: the homogeneity that grating surface 1) cannot be ensured, therefore make the harmonic light spectrum widening of grating, cause the measuring accuracy in sensing to reduce, even cannot use; 2) reduce the physical strength of optical fiber Bragg raster, cause operating difficulties in use procedure, easily fracture.3) process of chemical corrosion or side grinding is consuming time longer, the bad control of process, and repeatability is bad.
Independent of index sensor Problems existing for comprehensively solving long period fiber grating or corrosion/grinding type optical fiber Bragg grating, the have 2010 year M.Hans etc. similar with the present invention propose based on " long period fiber grating-optical fiber Bragg raster " knockdown refractive index-temperature sensor, the cladding mode of optical fiber Bragg raster is wherein utilized to realize the sensing of refractive index, its principle is: the broadband light that bandwidth light source sends first through long period fiber grating, and then is transferred to optical fiber Bragg raster; When optical transport is to long period fiber grating place, the energy of segment core mould will be coupled in cladding mode to be propagated, when this part with the luminous energy of cladding mode form transmission and the energy transmission of remaining core mode to optical fiber Bragg raster place time, the luminous energy meeting the cladding mode of optical fiber Bragg raster and the wavelength of core mode condition of resonance respectively will be reflected back; Same, when the cladding mode transmission reflected is to long period fiber grating, by partial coupling in fibre core, when the core mode reflected is transferred to long period fiber grating, portion of energy is coupled in covering again and transmits, remaining core mode energy through long period fiber grating continue transmission, so two harmonic peaks can be detected at reflection end, the former to temperature and refractive index all responsive, and the latter is only to responsive to temperature, and there is almost identical temperature control.Advantage based on " long period fiber grating-optical fiber Bragg raster " knockdown refractive index-temperature sensor is can refractive index and temperature sensing simultaneously, and maintain the feature at the narrow band resonances peak of optical fiber Bragg raster, improve the sensing accuracy of refractive index, in addition, do not need to do any process to optical fiber, keep integrality and the robustness of sensor.But its shortcoming is: what optical fiber Bragg raster wherein adopted is that traditional uv-exposure phase masks makes, and need to use and have the special optical fiber material of the covering of photon-sensitive to make optical fiber Bragg raster, to ensure while write fibre core Bragg grating, the Bragg grating of covering inside is formed near the interface of covering and fibre core, but the intensity of the Bragg grating of the covering inside that the method is formed is very little, therefore the reflection strength of cladding mode resonant is very faint, and the resonance of cladding mode and core mode is through twice Energy Coupling of long period fiber grating, the reflection strength that therefore can detect is also very low, in addition, the inner Bragg grating of covering due to it is near the interface of covering and fibre core, therefore this Bragg optical grating construction impact on low order cladding mode is larger, and it is very little on the impact of high-order cladding mode, and the refractive index sensitivity of the cladding mode of low order is very low, test to only about 2.3nm/RIU, far below the refractive index sensitivity of traditional long period fiber grating.
