The principles of fuzzy reliability and Taguchi design are both introduced and described in detail. Experimental results demonstrate that the signal to noise ratio of the robust design scheme is better than those of the other experimental schemes.Over the full temperature range from -40 to 80°C, the temperature sensitivities of phase margin, gain margin, sensitivity margin,the maximum amplitude of open loop system, bandwidth of closed loop system, and the performance function of the robust design system are all smaller than those of the original design system. Meanwhile, the temperature sensitivity of the bandwidth of the robust design system is improved to 126 from 1075 ppm/°C. Moreover, the bias drift over the full temperature range of the robust design system is improved to 61°/h from 179°/h.展开更多

The dependency of the confinement loss and relative sensitivity on the fiber parameters and wavelength is numerically investigated by using the full-vectorial finite element method (FEM). The simulations showed that the gas sensing sensitivity increased with an increase in the core diameter and a decrease in the distance between centers of two adjacent holes. Increasing the hole size of two outer cladding rings, this structure simultaneously showed up to 10% improved sensitivity, and the confinement loss reached 6x 10-4 times less than that of the prior sensor at the wavelength of 1.5 μm. This proved the ability of this fiber used in gas and chemicals sensing applications.展开更多
