Description

Liquid core hydrogel optical fiber, preparation method and application thereof, liquid core hydrogel optical fiber probe sensor and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of optical fibers, in particular to a liquid core hydrogel optical fiber, a preparation method and application thereof, a liquid core hydrogel optical fiber probe sensor and application thereof.
Background
With the development of information technology, optical fiber sensing technology is rapidly activated. The optical fiber sensing is a novel sensing technology which takes light waves as a carrier and optical fibers as media and senses and transmits external measured signals. The optical fiber sensing technology has the advantages of small volume, light weight, strong chemical corrosion resistance, strong electromagnetic interference resistance, safe use, realization of remote detection and real-time monitoring and the like, and is widely applied to biochemical sample instant detection instruments. Most of the existing optical fiber materials are quartz optical fibers or plastic optical fibers, and although the bending property and the mechanical strength are good, the chemical properties of the materials are stable, so that the materials are not easy to combine with sensing materials, and certain limitations exist in the preparation of sensing probes.
The advent of hydrogel, a compound containing hydrophilic groups covalently linked as a three-dimensional network, has provided a new approach to the selection of optical fiber materials. Hydrogel optical fibers satisfying the total reflection condition can be prepared by using hydrogel materials with different refractive indexes. The hydrogel with high refractive index is used as a fiber core, and the hydrogel with low refractive index as a cladding is used as a cladding to realize the optical fiber optical path structure with total reflection. As the hydrogel crosslinked by covalent bonds has good mechanical strength and chemical stability, the prepared hydrogel optical fiber can be bent and is not easy to corrode compared with the traditional quartz optical fiber. In addition, the light transmitting optical fiber is directly embedded in the hydrogel optical fiber to realize coupling without expensive optical fiber fusion splicers and other instruments, so that the hydrogel optical fiber can be very conveniently compatible with the existing optical fiber devices. The hydrogel optical fiber structure prepared by the method has good optical performance and potential application prospect.
Chinese patent CN110724293A discloses a preparation method of a hydrogel optical fiber cladding, which comprises the following steps: s1, preparing a precursor solution A and a precursor solution B by using a hydrogel monomer, a photoinitiator and deionized water, wherein the concentration of the hydrogel monomer in the precursor solution A is higher than that in the precursor solution B; s2, injecting the precursor solution A into a mold, irradiating by using an ultraviolet lamp, carrying out photocrosslinking curing, and extruding to obtain a fiber core of the hydrogel optical fiber; s3: immersing the fiber core obtained in the step S2 in the precursor solution B, then immersing and pulling out the fiber core from the precursor solution B, irradiating the fiber core by using an ultraviolet lamp, and carrying out photocrosslinking and curing to obtain a clad optical fiber; and S4, observing whether the optical fiber after cladding in the S3 reaches the target diameter or not through a microscope. However, the solid hydrogel optical fiber prepared by the above prior art has high optical transmission loss when used as a light transmission optical fiber; when the optical fiber is used as a sensing optical fiber, the sensing material is fixed in the fiber core, so that the sensing material is insufficiently combined with a measured object and can react with the measured object, the sensing material and the measured object are not easy to elute, and the optical fiber probe is difficult to recycle.
