Fibre Optical Sensor has electromagnetism interference and is easy to the features such as remote remote sensing, is especially not related to any naked light, the most safe and reliable, is widely used in various inflammable and explosive occasion.U.S. Sandia National Laboratory Butler in 1984 and professor Ginley study the quick sensing technology of fiber optic hydrogen first, the unit such as the University of New South Wales of US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Boeing, University of Maryland, DCH Technologies, University of Washington, University of Toronto, signal and the instrument treatment of laboratory of France and Australia has carried out the research of technique in succession subsequently, and multiple Optical Fider Hybrogen Sensor is designed and develops.As arisen at the historic moment based on various Fibre Optical Sensors such as Fiber Bragg Grating FBG, fibre optic interferometer, surface plasma structure, and optical fiber evanescent field structures.In these sensors, the overwhelming majority is to apply the quick material of hydrogen at optical fiber surface, as Butler proposes to constitute microlens type hydrogen gas sensor at fiber end face one layer of palladium film of plating or multilamellar palladium with silicon oxide film;The laser that Garcia and Mandelis proposes to send semiconductor laser produces two-beam ripple by beam splitter and is radiated in airflow chamber the hydrogen sensitive face being coated with palladium film respectively and is coated with on the reference pole plate of aluminum film, realize detecting density of hydrogen by comparing the final light intensity of two-beam, the method increase adaptability and the measuring accuracy of sensors towards ambient, etc..But, these sensors are limited to the faint elasto-optical effect of optical fiber itself or the insensitive characteristic of refractive index, and the sensitivity causing its hydrogen to sense is the highest, will be typically less than 5nm/% (v/v).The Fibre Optical Sensor of surface plasma structure has higher sensitivity, however it is necessary that and accurately controls coating film thickness (typically nanometer scale), and therefore its preparation is more complicated, and it uses by a definite limitation.
Tungstic anhydride. platinum catalyst (Pt-loaded WO3) there is the quick characteristic of good hydrogen, receive significant attention in recent years and study.As Ying Wang proposes by applying Pt-loaded WO on the photonic crystal fiber interferometer surface of selective filling3Powder, utilizes the heat effect of the quick powder of hydrogen and the higher temperature sensitive properties of fibre optic interferometer it is achieved thereby that the high-sensitivity detection of hydrogen.But its shortcoming is to need to be applied to expensive photonic crystal fiber, and its selective filling needs to be applied to femto-second laser, prepares more complicated, limit the extensive application of this sensor.
Summary of the invention
For improving the sensitivity of Optical Fider Hybrogen Sensor, and simplifying its Making programme and reduce preparation cost, the utility model proposes a kind of new optical fiber hydrogen sensing arrangement, single-mode fiber is applied Pt-loaded WO with side by this structure3The capillary tube of powder and filled polymer is connected, and retains certain the air gap in junction and constitutes Fabry-Perot interferometer, thus reaches the purpose of the highly sensitive sensing to density of hydrogen.
This utility model be the technical scheme is that directly fused with single-mode fiber for a little bodded tubule, filled polymer (its main component includes unsaturated polyester (UP) or acrylate, reactive diluent and light trigger etc.) in capillary tube, between the welding interface of polymer and single-mode fiber and capillary tube, form a air gap, then apply Pt-loaded WO at capillary tube outer wall3Powder.Further, single-mode fiber used is communication single-mode fiber, and its cladding diameter is 125 microns.Capillary tube used is quartz capillary, and its a length of 100-1000 micron, internal diameter is 30-100 micron, and external diameter is 120-180 micron.The polymer filled in capillary tube has the characteristic of ultraviolet lighting solidification, the i.e. polymer of liquid and can solidify after ultraviolet light irradiates.The Pt-loaded WO of capillary tube outer wall coating3The thickness of powder is 10-50 micron.In capillary tube after filled polymer, the weld at single-mode fiber and capillary tube retains a air gap, its a length of 10-50 micron.
Specific works principle of the present utility model is: forms a air gap between polymer and the welding interface of single-mode fiber and capillary tube filled in capillary tube, constitutes a Fabry-Perot interferometer.When sensor contacts is to being mixed with H2Air time, the O in air2With H2At Pt-loaded WO3Exothermic reaction occurring under powder effect and causes the rising of local temperature, this chemical reaction process is represented by:
The rising of temperature causes the expanded by heating of capillary tube interpolymer, and then causes the change of Fabry-Perot interferometer chamber length, further results in the reflected spectrum wavelengths drift of this interferometer.There is positively related relation in the size of this reflected spectrum wavelengths drift value and the size of density of hydrogen.By detection wavelength shift, thus realize the real-time measurement of density of hydrogen.Owing to the thermal coefficient of expansion of polymer is much larger than single-mode fiber and the thermal coefficient of expansion of quartz capillary, therefore, this sensor has high temperature control, again due to H2At Pt-loaded WO3With O in air under the catalysis of powder2Reaction produces heat effect, it is achieved thereby that the high sensitivity density of hydrogen of this sensor is measured.
The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
1) sensor preparation is simple, and low cost only need to be by directly fused to single-mode fiber and capillary tube, then injection of polymer in capillary tube, and applies Pt-loaded WO at its outer wall3Powder.
2) size sensor is little, and total length is less than 1 millimeter, convenient in small space use.
3) ingenious H is utilized2With O2At Pt-loaded WO3Exothermic reaction, and the thermal coefficient of expansion that polymer is bigger is there is, it is achieved that the high-sensitivity measurement of density of hydrogen under powder catalytic.
