Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an optical fiber temperature sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, optical fiber temperature sensor includes first optical fiber jumper 1, first single mode fiber 2, tubulose hollow optic fibre 4, second single mode fiber 6 and second optical fiber jumper 7, and the one end of first optical fiber jumper 1 is connected with first single mode fiber 2's input, and first single mode fiber 2's output is connected with tubulose hollow optic fibre 4's input, and tubulose hollow optic fibre 4's output is connected with second single mode fiber 6's input, and second single mode fiber 6's output is connected with second optical fiber jumper 7's input.
As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the first single-mode fiber 2 and the second single-mode fiber 6 are the same type of common single-mode fiber, and both the first single-mode fiber 2 and the second single-mode fiber 6 include a fiber core 8 and a first silica cladding 9 covering the fiber core 8. In a preferred embodiment, the core 8 is about 8.6 microns in diameter and is made of a doped silica material; the first quartz cladding 9 is about 125 microns in diameter and the material is higher purity quartz. Wherein the refractive index of the core 8 is greater than the refractive index of the first silica cladding 9. The polymer coating outside the hollow-core optical fiber is removed at high temperature, then the first single-mode optical fiber 2 is coaxially connected with the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4, the output end of the first single-mode optical fiber 2 and the input end of the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 are used as a first welding point 3, the first single-mode optical fiber 2 and the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 are welded at the first welding point 3 by using a welding machine, a first quartz cladding 9 is aligned to a second quartz cladding 11 during welding, the discharge power of the welding machine is standard-75 bit, the discharge time is 600 milliseconds, and the end face interval between the first single-mode optical fiber 2 and the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 is 12 micrometers. The output end of the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 and the input end of the second single-mode optical fiber 6 are used as the second welding point 5, and the welding method is the same as that of the first welding point 3, and the details are not repeated here.
As shown in the model of CAP010/150/24T of the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 in FIG. 1, the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 is composed of an air core 10 and a second quartz cladding 11 coated outside the air core 10. Wherein the diameter of the air core 10 is 10 microns and the diameter of the second silica cladding is 126 microns. The user can obtain a specified length of the tubular hollow-core fiber 4 by using a fiber cutter.
As shown in fig. 2, when the optical fiber temperature sensor of the present application operates, a broad spectrum light is introduced into the first optical fiber jumper 1, the broad spectrum light enters the first single-mode optical fiber 2 from the first optical fiber jumper 1, enters the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 at the first fusion-splicing point 3, and enters the air core 10 of the hollow-core optical fiber for propagation, and because the mode fields of the single-mode optical fiber and the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 are not matched, a part of the broad spectrum light enters the second quartz cladding 11 of the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 for transmission. The wide-spectrum light propagating in the air core 10 and the second quartz cladding 11 is coupled to the second fusion point 5 to form a mach-zehnder interference effect. In addition, in combination with the external air, the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 is equivalent to a structure in which two layers of air sandwich the second silica cladding 11, that is, a three-layer structure of air-second silica cladding 11-air, when the wide-spectrum light is transmitted to the interface of the air core 10 and the second silica cladding 11, the wide-spectrum light satisfying the resonance condition is transmitted from the second silica cladding 11 into the external air, and the light satisfying the anti-resonance condition is transmitted in the air core 10, that is, the anti-resonance effect occurs. Light output from the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 is coupled through a second fusion point 5 to generate composite light, the composite light is output to a second single-mode optical fiber 6, and finally the composite light is input to a spectrometer through a second optical fiber jumper 7. The spectrometer displays the transmission spectrum of the sensing structure, and causes mode coupling in the tubular hollow optical fiber 4 to change along with changes of the external environment of the sensor, such as temperature, strain, bending or torsion, so that wavelength drift of interference wave troughs in the transmission spectrum is caused, the wavelength drift amount and each change parameter generate a one-to-one mapping relation, and the change of the environment parameter can be known by observing the change of the positions of the interference wave troughs.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, when the length of the tubular hollow-core optical fiber 4 is 707 μm, the interference trough of the superimposed light transmission spectrum moves in the long-wavelength direction with the rise of the temperature; each interference trough is nearly insensitive when strain, curvature or torsion is applied.
TABLE 1
As shown in Table 1, Table 1 shows the sensitivity of the optical fiber temperature sensor to the temperature corresponding to the interference trough and the linear fitting coefficient (R) thereof when the tubular hollow-core optical fiber is 707 microns long (S-707)2) Since the amount of movement of the interference trough is small and not linear with the amount of change in strain, bending and torsion, the standard deviation (std (pm)) is used herein to represent the sensitivity of the sensor to strain, bending and torsion. When the length of the tubular hollow-core optical fiber is 707 microns, the corresponding sensitivity of the tubular hollow-core optical fiber is obtained by measuring the drift amount of interference wave troughs of transmission spectrums of environmental changes such as temperature, strain, bending and torsion through a spectrometer; the corresponding temperature sensitivity of 31.6 pm/DEG C is obtained by fitting the wavelength drift at the trough of 1584.8nm (dip1), the standard deviation of the interference trough in the range of 0-3000 mu epsilon is 13pm, and the standard deviation is 0-5.48m-1The standard deviation of the interference valleys in the bending range was 50pm, and the standard deviation of the interference valleys in the 0-90 ° range was 59 pm. Therefore, the sensor shows high sensitivity to temperature, and variables such as strain, bending and torsion have little influence on the sensor.
