Description

FP pressure sensor based on photonic crystal fiber low-temperature coupling effect
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optical FP interferometers, and particularly relates to an FP (Fabry-Perot) pressure sensor based on a low-temperature coupling effect of a photonic crystal fiber.
Background
FP interferometers are widely used in many fields such as petroleum exploration, medical treatment, aviation, and the like, and are mainly classified into an intrinsic type and an extrinsic type according to their structures. For the intrinsic optical fiber sensor, the medium in the cavity is the optical fiber, so that the intrinsic optical fiber sensor has the advantage of small loss, but the refractive index of the medium is greatly affected by external factors, so that the influence of temperature is not easily separated when the pressure is measured, and the temperature cross-coupling effect is obvious. The extrinsic optical fiber sensor uses the extrinsic FP sensor head as a sensor detecting element, the medium in the cavity is air, and the influence of large-range temperature variation can be automatically compensated by selecting proper parameters such as optical fiber, capillary quartz tube material, FP cavity structure and the like.
However, the existing pressure sensor based on the FP interferometer has the defects of complex structure, large volume, high manufacturing cost and the like, wherein the temperature and pressure coupling problem is that the pressure sensor based on the FP interferometer is inaccurate in measuring pressure in an environment with large temperature difference, and the pressure measuring precision is low.

one end face of the quartz capillary tube serving as a cavity of the FP interferometer is welded with the cross section of the photonic crystal fiber, and the polymer film is attached to the inside of the other end face;
the fusion joint surface of the photonic crystal fiber and the quartz capillary tube and the inner surface of the polymer film form two mutually parallel reflecting surfaces of the FP interferometer, and are perpendicular to the central axis of the quartz capillary tube;
when the cavity length of the FP interferometer changes along with the measured pressure, the changing optical path difference between the two reflected light beams causes the movement of the interference spectrum, and the cavity length change of the FP interferometer is obtained by detecting the movement amount of the interference spectrum, so as to obtain the measured pressure change.
Further, the polymer film is obtained by a dipping method.
Further, the thickness of the polymer film is in the order of micrometers.
Further, the pressure sensitivity of the sensor is 2.3-2.6nm/kPa, the temperature sensitivity is 0.4-0.5 nm/DEG C, and Wen Yabi is 0.15-0.22.
A manufacturing method of an FP pressure sensor based on a low-temperature coupling effect of a photonic crystal fiber comprises the following steps:
s1: cutting out a flat end face of the photonic crystal fiber and a quartz capillary tube, and welding the photonic crystal fiber and the quartz capillary tube by using an optical fiber welding machine to obtain a photonic crystal fiber-capillary tube structure to form a cavity part of the FP interferometer;
s2: cutting the capillary part of the welded photonic crystal fiber-capillary structure;
s3: the open port of the quartz capillary tube is dipped with the polymer solution to form a polymer film.

The sensitivity of FP pressure sensors based on the low temperature coupling effect of photonic crystal fibers is directly proportional to the sensitive diaphragm to the power 4, inversely proportional to the diaphragm thickness to the power 3 and inversely proportional to the elastic modulus value of the diaphragm material. After the test is carried out by selecting a polymer material with lower Young modulus, the deformation of the polymer membrane has good linear responsivity to pressure and temperature.

one end face of a quartz capillary tube 2 serving as a sensor cavity is welded with the cross section of the photonic crystal fiber 1, and a polymer film 3 is attached to the inside of the other end face;
the fusion joint surface of the photonic crystal fiber 1 and the quartz capillary 2 and the inner surface of the polymer film 3 form two mutually parallel reflecting surfaces of the FP interferometer, and are perpendicular to the central axis of the quartz capillary 2;
when the light in the photonic crystal fiber 1 encounters two reflecting surfaces to respectively generate reflected light, the two reflected light beams interfere in the photonic crystal fiber 1 to generate an interference spectrum, when the cavity length of the FP interferometer changes along with the measured pressure, the changing optical path difference between the two reflected light beams causes the movement of the interference spectrum, and the cavity length change of the FP interferometer is obtained by detecting the movement amount of the interference spectrum, so that the measured pressure change is obtained.
In some embodiments, the polymer film 3 is obtained by a dipping method.
Preferably, the thickness of the polymer film 3 is in the order of micrometers, and the polymer film 3 is made of a polymer material with low elastic modulus and good thermal performance.
In some embodiments, the sensor has a pressure sensitivity of 2.3-2.6nm/kPa, a temperature sensitivity of 0.4-0.5 nm/DEG C, and a Wen Yabi of 0.15-0.22.

s1: cutting out flat end surfaces of the photonic crystal fiber 1 and the quartz capillary tube 2, welding the photonic crystal fiber 1 and the quartz capillary tube 2 by using an optical fiber welding machine to obtain a photonic crystal fiber-capillary tube structure 4, forming a cavity part of the FP interferometer, and properly controlling welding parameters to prevent the quartz capillary tube 2 from deforming;
s2: cutting the capillary part of the welded photonic crystal fiber-capillary structure 4;
fixing the photonic crystal fiber-capillary structure 4 on a microscope stage through a clamp 5 of a cutting knife 6, enabling the welding end face to be completely overlapped with the central axis of the microscope visual field, adjusting the scale of a displacement controller of the cutting knife 6, moving the photonic crystal fiber-capillary structure 4 to enable the knife edge position of the cutting knife 6 to be in a length away from the initial cavity length of the welding face, clamping the photonic crystal fiber-capillary structure 4 by the clamp 5 to fix the current position, and cutting out a flat end face by the cutting knife 6;
s3: the open port of the quartz capillary 2 was dipped in the polymer solution to form a polymer film 3.
The single-mode fiber 7 is used for dipping the polymer liquid 8 and is respectively placed at two motors 9 of the fusion splicer with the photonic crystal fiber-capillary structure 4, and the capillary end face of the photonic crystal fiber-capillary structure 4 contacts with the polymer at the end face of the single-mode fiber 7 by manually adjusting the positions of the motors 9 of the fusion splicer, so that the polymer enters the cavity through capillary effect and forms the polymer film 3. The thickness of the sensor membrane manufactured by the method can be controlled to be in the micrometer scale.
The end face structure diagram of the photonic crystal fiber 1 is shown in fig. 4, the high-sensitivity FP pressure sensor based on the photonic crystal fiber is shown in fig. 5, the pressure sensitivity of the high-sensitivity FP pressure sensor based on the photonic crystal fiber is 2.47nm/kPa, the temperature sensitivity is 0.46 nm/DEG C, and Wen Yabi is 0.186. Compared with the temperature-pressure ratio of the single-mode crystal fiber FP cavity of 1.18, the temperature-pressure ratio of the photonic crystal fiber FP cavity is 6.35 times smaller, so that the temperature coupling effect of the FP pressure sensor during pressure sensing is effectively reduced, and the high-sensitivity pressure sensing problem under the temperature change environment is solved.
