Description

Optical fiber refractive index sensor and refractive index detection method
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to an optical fiber refractive index sensor.
Background
The Mach-Zehnder interference structure is widely applied to an optical fiber sensing system. When one beam of light is divided into two beams by the coupler and respectively propagates along the two optical fibers, one of the two beams of light is used as a reference light path, and the other beam of light is used as a modulation light path. The two beams will recombine at the next coupler and interfere. When the modulation optical path is affected by the outside, the optical path of the light propagating in the modulation optical path changes, so that the optical path difference of the two paths of light changes, and the interference fringes also change correspondingly. By means of the corresponding relation between the interference fringe change and the environment change, the change of the environment parameter can be deduced through the change of the interference fringe in the measurement.
With the continuous development of optical fiber sensing technology, the way in which mach-zehnder interference structures are used in optical fiber sensors has also changed. The role of optical fibers has also evolved from a mere transmission function to a combined transmission and sensing function. After the optical fiber is processed, a special structure is formed, the special structure can be used as a coupler to couple a part of light propagating along the fiber core of the optical fiber into a cladding, and the light is coupled back to the fiber core again in the next similar fiber coupler, so that interference of two parts of light propagating along the fiber core and the cladding is realized, and the principle of Mach-Zehnder interference is realized. When the influence of the external environment on the fiber core cladding is different, the light propagating along the fiber core and the light propagating along the cladding generate interference change due to the difference of the reaction of the fiber core cladding on the external environment, and the interference change is reflected on the change of a spectrogram in the application of optical fiber sensing. After the relation between the spectral change and the external environment change is analyzed, the external environment can be monitored by monitoring the spectral change, and the effect of the sensor is realized. The side-polishing structure increases the influence of the external environment on the optical fiber light propagation so that the sensor is more sensitive to the external environment, and therefore the side-polishing structure is used as a part for enhancing the sensitivity of the sensor. The optical fiber sensor has obvious advantages in monitoring of a small-space environment with strong electromagnetic interference. The high-sensitivity fiber refractive index sensors currently studied generally use special fibers such as fiber gratings, photonic band gap fibers, etc., which are expensive.
Therefore, the prior art still needs to be improved and developed to address the above drawbacks.
