Study on Refraction Index Sensors Using Fiber Grating F-P Cavity

In this paper, the reflective spectra of a refraction index sensor were analyzed based on fiber grating F-P cavity. The sensor was constituted by two identical fiber gratings. Compared with the refraction index sensor using one fiber grating, the fiber grating F-P cavity sensor has narrower resonant peak and it can be used for more accurate measurement. The resonant peaks in the reflective spectra of the sensor are changed with small changes of the refraction index of the measured chemical liquids or cell samples. So it has potential applications in biology and chemistry.

Structure Design of Disposable Ocean Temperature Depth Sensing Probe Based on F-P Cavity and FBG

The basic principle of sensing is the combination of F-P cavity interference and fiber grating reflection. A hybrid structure sensor probe has been designed based on the combination of an F-P cavity of liquid-filled thermometer structure, and a fiber grating with an elastic diaphragm, herein F-P cavity is used for temperature sensing, and the fiber grating is used for pressure sensing. By adopting the dual optical path structure, the dual-parameter detection of temperature and depth is realized, which solves the problem of low accuracy caused by the cross response of temperature and pressure of a single sensor device and the calculation of the depth information of the ocean with empirical formulas. Compared with traditional sensors, the sensitivity is effectively improved. Theoretical analysis shows that the sensitivity of the F-P cavity with a thermometer structure filled with kerosene reaches 1.334 nm/?C, and the depth sensitivity of the fiber grating is 284.6 pm/Mpa within the ocean depth range of 0 - 400 m.

Analysis of the Tunable Asymmetric Fiber F-P Cavity for Fiber Strain Sensor Edge-Filter Demodulation

An asymmetric fiber （Fabry-Perot, F-P） interferometric cavity with the good linearity and wide dynamic range was successfully designed based on the optical thin film characteristic matrix theory; by adjusting the material of two different thin metallic layers, the asymmetric fiber F-P interferometric cavity was fabricated by depositing the multi-layer thin films on the optical fiber＇s end face. The asymmetric F-P cavity has the extensive potential application. In this paper, the demodulation method for the wavelength shift of the fiber Bragg grating （FBG） sensor based on the F-P cavity is demonstrated, and a theoretical formula is obtained. And the experimental results coincide well with the computational results obtained from the theoretical model.

High-sensitivity refractive index sensors based on Fano resonance in a metal-insulator-metal based arc-shaped resonator coupled with a rectangular stub

A metal-insulator-metal(MIM)-based arc-shaped resonator coupled with a rectangular stub(MARS) structure is proposed. This structure can generate two tunable Fano resonances originating from two different mechanisms. The structure has the advantage of being sensitive to the refractive index, and this feature makes it favorable for application in various microsensors. The relationship between the structural parameters and Fano resonance is researched using the finite element method(FEM) based on the software COMSOL Multiphysics 5.4. The simulation reveals that the sensitivity reaches1900 nm/refractive index unit(RIU), and the figure of merit(FOM) is 23.75.

Analysis of Focusing Orbital Angular Momentum Wave Using Fabry-Perot Cavity

One of the biggest obstacles to the application of orbital angular momentum(OAM)in the microwave field is its divergence problem.This paper presents a full analysis of generating and focusing OAM waves using original and improved Fabry-Perot(F-P)cavities.Utilizing combination of microstrip antenna and original F-P cavity,the gain of the OAM antenna is enhanced from 4.0 dBi to 9.3 dBi and the corresponding divergence angle is decreased from 41to 24.To further improve the performance of the OAM antenna,the improved F-P cavity is introduced.The simulated results show that the gain is further enhanced to 12.0 dBi and the divergence angle is further decreased to be 15.
