Abstract
The utility model relates to a high-sensitivity temperature sensor based on partial perfusion type HiBi-PCF-FLM (high birefrigent photonic crystalfiber loop mirror). With a compact structure, the utility model overcomes the defect that the general optical fiber temperature sensor has low temperature sensitivity. In the utility model, a temperature-sensitive solution is poured into a small air hole of a photon crystal optical fiber cladding to form a high birefrigent photonic crystalfiber. Two ends of the photonic crystal optical fiber are respectively connected with two ports on one side of an optical fiber coupler to form a fiber loop mirror structure; and two ports on the other side of the optical fiber coupler are respectively connected with a wideband light source and a wavelength measuring device. The light emitted by the wideband light source is split into two bundles of oppositely-transmitted light; the phase difference of two bundles of light is very sensitive to the change of the temperature; under the interference action of an output terminal of the optical fiber environment, the larger shift of an output spectrum of the optical fiber environment can be caused by the extremely-little change of the external environment temperature; and the temperature information can be demodulated by monitoring the shift of a certain loss peak in the output spectrum. The sensor has the advantages of small volume, simple structure and high temperature-measuring sensitivity; and the sensor can be widely applied to the field of high-sensitivity temperature monitoring.
