It is respectively fiber core and the effective refractive index of the m time cladding mode.The effective refractive index of fibre core basic modeBy Fiber core refractive index n1With cladding index n2Determine, and the effective refractive index of cladding mode and n1, n2While relevant, go back and environment Refractive index nsurRelevant, when ambient refractive index change will cause the change of cladding mode effective refractive index, and then cause resonance wavelengthL's Drift.Therefore, the change of the resonance wavelength of LPFG ambient refractive index to external world is particularly sensitive, the LPFG fixing to a cycle, Have:
dλ L dn s u r = dλ L dn e f f c l , m · dn e f f c l , m dn s u r
Meanwhile, along with ambient refractive index nsurChange, LPFG is in resonance wavelengthLAbsorbance T at place changes the most accordingly:
T=sin2(kL)
Wherein:For the coefficient of coup between fibre core basic mode and cladding mode, L is grating length.
I is the integration that intersects of basic mode and cladding mode in core region.Wherein: Ecore, EcladIt is respectively fibre core basic mode and cladding mode Electric field magnitude, DncoFor the modulation rate of fibre core, a is fiber core radius.
As can be seen here, when LPFG is changed by extraneous refractive index, cladding mode effective refractive index will be causedChange, Thus make resonance wavelengthLDrift about, meanwhile,Change also change integration I value, thus cause the change of coefficient of coup k Change, and then make resonance wavelengthLCorresponding absorbance changes, i.e. the whole transmission spectrum of LPFG changes.
The screen periods of LPFG is typically more than 100 μm, and it is based on meeting phase-matching condition in optical fiber in the same direction Resonance coupling between pattern, is will to couple, by light wave between the guided mode of fl transmission with other forward direction guided modes or forward radiation mould In the losing optically coupling to going in covering, therefore without retroreflection of certain frequency band.And it is high when plating reflectance at grating end face After metal film, the transmission light through LPFG will form single-ended reflection LPFG probe at end face reflection originally. And experiments verify that, it has temperature, refractive index sensing characteristic equally.
When ambient refractive index is less than cladding mode refractive index about 1.458, resonance wavelength is along with the increase of ambient refractive index is to shortwave Direction offsets, and when near cladding index, side-play amount significantly becomes big, and now the sensitivity of LPFG refractive index increases;When When ambient refractive index increases to equal to cladding index, now it is believed that cladding radius is infinitely great, coupling peak all disappears;And work as When ambient refractive index continues to increase to above cladding index, resonance wavelength occurs at initial position again, and along with refractive index Continuing to increase, resonance peak position is almost unchanged, but now stiffness of coupling reduces, and absorbance increases, resonance peak depth shallower.Logical Crossing experiment to understand, when steel bar corrosion is more serious, rust water refractive index is 1.3536, still less than the refractive index 1.458 of cladding mode, i.e. Being still within can monitoring range.
Schematically being described the present invention and embodiment thereof above, this description does not has restricted, shown in accompanying drawing yet Simply one of embodiments of the present invention, actual structure is not limited thereto.So, if those of ordinary skill in the art Enlightened by it, in the case of without departing from the invention objective, design the knot similar to this technical scheme without creative Structure mode and embodiment, all should belong to protection scope of the present invention.
