When measuring to sensor, fiber interference fringe trough becomes with the variation of the refractive index and temperature of solution
Change, basic principle is as follows:
Due to fiber core mismatch, Mach-Zehnder interferometer is constituted, so that the light beam transmitted in single mode optical fiber is divided into two
Divide and propagate, a part is transmitted in fibre core, and another part transmits in covering, because the effective refractive index of fibre core and covering is not
Together, so two parts light generates interference after transducing part, then interference cancellation trough is detected, by trough offsetWherein δ neffFor the difference Δ n of effective refractive indexeff kChanging value, by known to the formula when external physical quantity such as temperature,
Refractive index waits when changing, δ neffAlso change therewith, lead to that trough is interfered to move, so that transmitted spectrum also will appear
Offset.
As the phase difference Φ of core mode and the k rank cladding mode being excitedkWhen=(2n+1) π (n is integer), n-th order interference
Trough are as follows:
Wherein λ is lambda1-wavelength, and L is the length of thin-core fibers, Δ neff kFor effective folding of core mode and k rank cladding mode

For the offset of different trough wavelength, above data can be calculated by testing, then can be same by matrix inverse transformation
When calculate the changing value Δ n of refractive index and the changing value Δ T of temperature.
As shown in figure 3, transmitted light spectrogram when being immersed in distilled water for optical fiber sensor head, sees that interference waveform is not advised at this time
Then, it is primarily due in optical fiber that not only prevailing cladding mode is interfered with core mode, weak cladding mode has also assisted in and fine
Core model generates interference, to reach experiment purpose, selects trough A (1581.74nm) and trough B (1594.53nm) as real here
Test measurement object.
Embodiment
As shown in figure 4, to penetrate the corresponding transmission spectrum spectrogram of sodium chloride solution when rate 1.3105-1.3465 variation.It is first
Refractometry is first carried out, sensing head is fixed on glass slide, is then placed in the sodium chloride solution at a temperature of keeping environment,
Then successively refractive index is that the sodium chloride solution of 1.3105-1.3465 measures, and is all rinsed with a large amount of water after having surveyed every time
And continue to test after automatic air-drying, it can be seen that interfere the wavelength of trough mobile to shortwave length direction with the increase of refractive index.
As shown in figure 5, for the offset and index of refraction relationship figure of trough A (1581.74nm) and trough B (1591.53nm),
To the data fitting result under the conditions of the different refractivity of solution to be measured with trough offset, the sensitivity difference of trough A and trough B
For -18.1764nm/RIU and -12.2197nm/RIU, in general scientific research range, this sensitivity can achieve to be wanted accordingly
It asks.
Further temperature is measured, the glass slide of fixed sensing head is put into 10% sodium chloride solution, this
Testing measurement range is 25 DEG C -50 DEG C, the response at interval of 5 DEG C of record primary transducers to temperature change.Fig. 4-7 is obtained at this time
The transmitted spectrum of shown different temperatures lower sensor, it can be seen that red shift occurs as temperature increases wavelength, had both interfered trough A
It is all mobile towards wavelength augment direction with trough B, as shown in Figure 6；It is similarly available such as Fig. 7 according to the relationship of offset and temperature
Fitted figure, can be respectively in the hope of the sensitivity of trough A and trough B, however as the raising of temperature, the folding of sodium chloride solution
The rate of penetrating gradually becomes smaller, therefore the temperature sensitivity measured is caused by temperature and sodium chloride refractive index while variation as a result, institute
It can be write as following expression with pure temperature sensitivity:
It is pure temperature sensitivity, RRI,For the thermo-optical coeffecient of sodium chloride solution, value is
-1.6065×10-4/ DEG C, by the temperature sensitivity and refractive index sensitivity band in the sodium chloride solution found out above
Enter, thus according to upper it can be concluded that the pure temperature sensitivity of trough A and trough B is
0.0733nm/ DEG C and 0.0330nm/ DEG C, available refractive index and temperature after then bringing two-dimensional matrix into and inverting
Changing value, by the offset Δ λ for bringing trough A Yu trough B intoA、ΔλB, to realize refraction
Rate and temperature simultaneously measuring, expression formula are as follows:
From experiment it is found that although transmission spectrum interference fringe valley wavelength changes at any time and at random, due to its with
Time change very little illustrates that this sensor stability is feasible.
In conclusion a kind of refractive index and temperature simultaneously measuring based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer of the utility model
Full-fiber sensor and its measurement method, when can eliminate refractometry there are potential Temperature cross-over sensitive question and
The accuracy that measurement refractive index and temperature can be improved, at low cost, easy to operate and measurement range simple with structure are big
Advantage.
