in step A, the middle section of the optical fiber is ground to 900 μm with a length of 5cm, and the bending radius of the U-region is 2 cm.
The thickness of the sensitization film formed in step B4 was 200 μm, and the thickness of the humidity-sensitive film F formed in step C5 was 20 μm.
The U-shaped humidity-sensitive optical fiber sensor obtained in example 3 was subjected to a humidity response test at 40 ℃ to obtain a humidity response characteristic as shown in FIG. 2, wherein in FIG. 2, the sensor output light intensity IoutAnd relative humidity (x) has a linear relationship: i isout＝-0.9165x+554.05。
(R20.9817), x in the range of 10-80% RH, sensitivity up to-0.9 nW/(1% RH), 6.9 times higher than when a 10 μm moisture-sensitive film is coated on a 1500 μm optical fiber surface due to the rough optical fiber surface, the U-shaped structure of the optical fiber, the high refractive index of the sensitizing film, GeO2The light scattering and the water swelling property of polyimide cause the change of the refractive index, the polyether copolyamide PEBA2533 enhances the water absorption molecules of the humidity-sensitive film, and the silicon dioxide enhances the greater light attenuation caused by the transmission of light on the humidity-sensitive film, so the comprehensive effects enhance the light intensity and the light attenuation in the humidity-sensitive film, and further improve the sensitivity of the sensor.
Thus, the rough surface of the optical fiber increases the light scattering on the surface of the fiber core of the optical fiber, and polysulfone and GeO2The refractive index of the coating sensitization film is higher than that of the fiber core of the optical fiber, and the sensitization film with proper thickness is helpful for coupling the low-order mode transmitted in the fiber core into polysulfone and GeO2A coating layer to increase light intensity into the humidity sensitive membrane; finally, the appropriate thickness of the humidity sensitive film is beneficial to enhancing the light attenuation and improving the sensitivity of the sensor; when the diameter of the fiber core of the optical fiber is 900 μm, the thickness of the sensitization film is 200 μm, and the thickness of the humidity sensitive film is 20 μm, the sensitivity of the sensor reaches-0.9 nW/(1% RH).
Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
