一种基于双孔微结构光纤的法布里-珀罗微流腔传感器A Fabry-Perot Microfluidic Cavity Sensor Based on Double-hole Microstructured Fiber

技术领域technical field

本发明属于光纤传感器技术领域,具体涉及一种基于双孔微结构光纤的法布里-珀罗微流腔传感器。The invention belongs to the technical field of optical fiber sensors, in particular to a Fabry-Perot microfluidic cavity sensor based on a double-hole microstructure optical fiber.

背景技术Background technique

传感技术是信息产业中与通信技术和计算机技术并重的三大支柱产业之一,广泛应用于国防安全、生物传感、医药化工、食品安全和环境监测等领域。光纤传感器作为一个重要的分支,以其体积小、灵敏度高、抗电磁干扰、抗腐蚀、耐温耐高压等诸多优异的性能占据着传感器领域的重要地位。光纤传感器以光信号作为传输信息的媒介,通过光信号与物质的相互作用来感知不同物理量,例如应力、曲率、温度、湿度、折射率等。当周围环境物理量产生变化时,光信号的特征参数也会随之改变,如波长、相位、强度等,通过分析解调输出光信号的特征参数与被测物理量的关系,即可实现光纤传感。目前已有多种光纤传感器被研发,例如光纤法布里-珀罗传感器,光纤光栅传感器,光纤SPR传感器,光纤多模干涉仪,光子晶体光纤传感器等等。其中光纤法布里-珀罗传感器由于其高灵敏度、易集成等特点备受关注,已经成为压力、温度、折射率等传感领域的研究热点。但是目前常见的光纤法布里-珀罗传感器多为光纤外部传感,这限制了传感器的灵敏度,也容易受到外界环境的干扰,本发明采取光纤内部微流传感的方式对待测样品进行检测,由于传感器内光纤微流腔体积小,可以对微量样品进行检测,同时可以有效减少外界干扰,提高传感器灵敏度。Sensing technology is one of the three pillar industries in the information industry that attaches equal importance to communication technology and computer technology. As an important branch, fiber optic sensor occupies an important position in the sensor field due to its small size, high sensitivity, anti-electromagnetic interference, anti-corrosion, temperature and high pressure resistance and many other excellent properties. Optical fiber sensors use optical signals as a medium for transmitting information, and perceive different physical quantities, such as stress, curvature, temperature, humidity, and refractive index, through the interaction of optical signals and substances. When the physical quantity of the surrounding environment changes, the characteristic parameters of the optical signal will also change, such as wavelength, phase, intensity, etc. By analyzing the relationship between the characteristic parameters of the demodulated output optical signal and the measured physical quantity, the optical fiber sensing can be realized. . At present, a variety of fiber optic sensors have been developed, such as fiber Fabry-Perot sensors, fiber grating sensors, fiber SPR sensors, fiber multimode interferometers, photonic crystal fiber sensors, and so on. Among them, the optical fiber Fabry-Perot sensor has attracted much attention due to its high sensitivity and easy integration, and has become a research hotspot in the field of pressure, temperature, refractive index and other sensing fields. However, the common optical fiber Fabry-Perot sensors are mostly optical fiber external sensing, which limits the sensitivity of the sensor and is easily disturbed by the external environment. Due to the small volume of the optical fiber microfluidic cavity in the sensor, it is possible to detect trace samples, and at the same time, it can effectively reduce external interference and improve the sensitivity of the sensor.

具体实施方式Detailed ways

下面结合附图及具体实施方式对本发明进行进一步的说明。The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

实施例1Example 1

本实例是利用一种基于双孔微结构光纤的法布里-珀罗微流腔传感器进行液体折射率的测量。当输入光由光源发出,通过光纤环形器输入端进入到由开孔石英毛细管构成的传感器微流腔内后,一部分输入光将会从微流腔的一个端面反射,另一部分光继续传播,随后从微腔的第二个端面反射回来,两束光将耦合回光纤环形器输出端纤芯中并发生干涉。当微流腔中被测物理量发生改变的时候,两束光的相位差也随之变化,从而导致干涉谱发生漂移。因此,通过观察干涉谱波峰/波谷的波长变化即可实现对微流腔内折射率的检测。This example uses a Fabry-Perot microfluidic cavity sensor based on a double-hole microstructured fiber to measure the refractive index of liquids. When the input light is emitted by the light source and enters the sensor microfluidic cavity formed by the perforated quartz capillary through the input end of the optical fiber circulator, a part of the input light will be reflected from one end face of the microfluidic cavity, and the other part of the light will continue to propagate, and then Reflected from the second end face of the microcavity, the two beams are coupled back into the core at the output end of the fiber circulator and interfere. When the measured physical quantity in the microfluidic cavity changes, the phase difference of the two beams of light also changes, which leads to the drift of the interference spectrum. Therefore, the detection of the refractive index in the microfluidic cavity can be realized by observing the wavelength change of the peak/trough of the interference spectrum.

本发明的工作原理是:从超连续谱光源中发出的光通过光纤环形器输入端传输进入到传感器微流腔内后,一束光将从由开孔石英毛细管构成的微流腔的第一个端面反射回来,另一束光到达微腔的第二个端面后也随之反射回来。两束相干光耦合回光纤环形器输出端,并在纤芯中产生干涉。当传感器微流腔中待测样品折射率发生改变时,会引起两束相干光的相位差发生改变,传感器的干涉谱也随之发生漂移。传感器的反射光输出光强I可以表示为:The working principle of the invention is as follows: after the light emitted from the supercontinuum light source is transmitted into the sensor microfluidic cavity through the input end of the optical fiber circulator, a beam of light will be transmitted from the first part of the microfluidic cavity formed by the perforated quartz capillary tube. One end face is reflected back, and another beam of light is reflected back after reaching the second end face of the microcavity. The two coherent beams are coupled back to the output of the fiber circulator and interfere in the fiber core. When the refractive index of the sample to be measured in the sensor microfluidic cavity changes, the phase difference of the two coherent beams will change, and the interference spectrum of the sensor will also drift. The reflected light output intensity I of the sensor can be expressed as:

Figure BSA0000246762090000031
Figure BSA0000246762090000031

其中,

Figure BSA0000246762090000032
为两束光I1和I2的相位差,可以表示为:in,
Figure BSA0000246762090000032
is the phase difference between the two beams of light I 1 and I 2 , which can be expressed as:

Figure BSA0000246762090000033
Figure BSA0000246762090000033

其中L为传感器微流腔腔长,n为传感器微流腔中填充液体的折射率,λ为入射光波长。从上式中可以看出,当传感器微流腔腔长固定时,微流腔内液体折射率的改变会引起输出光信号产生变化。Where L is the cavity length of the sensor microfluidic cavity, n is the refractive index of the liquid filled in the sensor microfluidic cavity, and λ is the wavelength of the incident light. It can be seen from the above formula that when the cavity length of the sensor microfluidic cavity is fixed, the change of the refractive index of the liquid in the microfluidic cavity will cause the output optical signal to change.
