When long λ (incident wavelength λ does not has special requirement, and it is mainly determined by the wave-length coverage of light source 5) is fixing, interference signal
Interferometric phaseD all long with F-P cavity with the free spectrum width FSR of spectrum is relevant, i.e. the free spectrum width FSR d long with F-P cavity of spectrum becomes
Inverse ratio, when interference effect preferably time a corresponding spectrum free spectrum width FSR scope, in this range, the free spectrum width of spectrum
When FSR selects maximum, corresponding F-P cavity length is the shortest, i.e. on the premise of the fineness of interference fringe is constant, at interference effect
Time preferably, the F-P cavity length of optical fiber EFPI sensor is the shortest, and the sensitivity of optical fiber EFPI sensor is the highest.
2, the fineness of interference fringe and the sensitivity relation of EFPI:
On the premise of the long d of F-P cavity of optical fiber EFPI sensor is fixing, the fineness of discussion below interference fringe and optical fiber
The fineness of the sensitivity relation interference fringe of EFPI sensor and the sensitivity relation of optical fiber EFPI sensor, interference fringe
Fineness, it is simply that bright and sharp degree F of interference fringe, refers to phase contrast 2 π between adjacent two stripe and the phase width of interference fringe
The ratio of Δ δ represents:
Wherein, the phase width Δ δ of interference fringe is equal to phase contrast (the phase bit wide of the point-to-point transmission of interference fringe peak value half
Degree),
Wherein, R is end face reflection rate, then bright and sharp degree F of interference fringe is:
Bright and sharp degree F of interference fringe increases along with the increase of end face reflection rate R, i.e. end face reflection rate R is the biggest, interferes
The fineness of striped is the highest, then the sensitivity of optical fiber EFPI sensor is the highest.
In the present invention, end face reflection rate R of optical fiber EFPI sensor is 80%, improves reflectance R, and then improves dry
Relate to bright and sharp degree F of striped, the F-P cavity length of the optical fiber EFPI sensor of selection, thus there is high sensitivity.
Embodiment 8
One highly sensitive optical fiber EFPI sensor in the present embodiment, with any one technical scheme in embodiment 1-5
Similar, the manufacture method of a kind of highly sensitive optical fiber EFPI sensor in the present embodiment, similar to Example 6.
A kind of highly sensitive optical fiber EFPI sensor of the present invention and traditional optical fiber EFPI sensor is utilized to carry out right
Than test, the advantage of the optical fiber EFPI sensor of the checking present invention.The lateral load of both the above sensor is studied,
In test, the long d in chamber being coated with porpezite film reflection end face EFPI sensor is 323 μm, a length of 309 μ in chamber of traditional E FPI sensor
M, a length of 50mm, the EFPI sensor length (being the distance between the fixing point 3 on two single-mode fibers in left and right) of capillary tube 4
L=30mm.
In conjunction with Fig. 4-7, the optical fiber EFPI sensor of plating porpezite film has the reflectance of 80% due to end face, and its wavelength is to horizontal stroke
Sensitivity to load can reach 40.83pm/g, and relative to traditional optical fiber EFPI sensor, end face reflection rate is 4%, wavelength
Sensitivity to lateral load is 19.46pm/g, and sensitivity improves 2.10 times;Additionally, the optical fiber EFPI sensing of plating porpezite film
The sensitivity of lateral load is significantly improved by the optical fiber EFPI sensor light intensity that the beam intensity ratio of device is traditional, Qian Zhewei
13.42count/g, and the latter is 1.9count/g.
It addition, the strain temperature cross sensitivity problem of the high sensitivity optical fiber EFPI sensor in order to study the present invention, right
High sensitivity EFPI and traditional EFPI of the present invention have done temperature experiment, and experimental result is as Figure 8-9.
From Fig. 8-9, the sensitivity of the wavelength versus temperature of traditional optical fiber EFPI sensor is 51.87pm/ DEG C, and
The wavelength versus temperature sensitivity of plating porpezite film optical fiber EFPI sensor is only 0.7769pm/ DEG C, is held essentially constant.
From lateral load and temperature comparisons's test of the optical fiber EFPI sensor to traditional and plating porpezite film, plate porpezite
The sensitivity of the optical fiber EFPI of film is substantially high than traditional, and has the function of temperature self-compensation so that the one of the present invention
Highly sensitive EFPI has good future in fiber optic applications field.
Schematically being described the present invention and embodiment thereof above, this description does not has restricted, institute in accompanying drawing
Show is also one of embodiments of the present invention, and actual structure is not limited thereto.So, if the common skill of this area
Art personnel enlightened by it, in the case of without departing from the invention objective, designs and this technical scheme without creative
Similar frame mode and embodiment, all should belong to protection scope of the present invention.
