Fiber-Loop Ringdown Multi-Function Sensors

We demonstrate a fiber-loop ring down multi-function sensors system, which can be used to measure refractive index and curvature simultaneously. Good agreement has been found between theoretical analyses and experimental results. It has great potential for sensor applications.

Fiber Optic Sensors and Sensor Networks Using a Time-domain Sensing Scheme

Fiber loop ringdown (FLRD) has demonstrated to be capable of sensing various quantities, such as chemical species, pressure, refractive index, strain, temperature, etc.;and it has high potential for the development of a sensor network. In the present work, we describe design and development of three different types of FLRD sensors for water, cracks, and temperature sensing in concrete structures. All of the three aforementioned sensors were indigenously developed very recently in our laboratory and their capabilities of detecting the respective quantities were demonstrated. Later, all of the sensors were installed in a test grout cube for real-time monitoring. This work presents the results obtained in the laboratory-based experiments as well as the results from the real-time monitoring process in the test cube.

通过混沌相关光纤环衰荡传感系统实时监测氧化石墨烯沉积过程,并采用氧化石墨烯功能化锥形光纤作为传感元件对血红蛋白传感进行了实验研究。通过实时监测氧化石墨烯对锥形光纤功能化过程中衰荡时间的变化,分析了功能化过程中锥形光纤表面羟基化、硅烷化和氧化石墨烯沉积对光传输损耗的影响。通过扫描电子显微镜对氧化石墨烯功能化锥形光纤效果进行检测。研究了不同浓度的氧化石墨烯功能化锥形光纤作为传感元件时对血红蛋白传感灵敏度的影响,实验结果表明:与未功能化锥形光纤相比,使用氧化石墨烯功能化锥形光纤进行血红蛋白传感,灵敏度提高了一个数量级。在功能化过程中,氧化石墨烯浓度将影响功能化后锥形光纤的传感灵敏度,且随着浓度的增加传感灵敏度增强。该研究成果有望在生物传感领域得到应用。
