SMS传感器结构简单、成本低廉、易于铺设,被广泛的应用于弯曲、位移、温度、应变、折射率等参量的测量,近年来成为研究的热点.本论文利用大芯径多模光纤制作SMS结构以实现高灵敏度的光纤传感结构.首先,将纤芯/包层直径为105/125微米的多模光纤通过单模光纤接入光纤系统,实现SMS光纤结构,通过对多模光纤进行偏轴熔接的手段制作SMS器件结构;然后对单模-多模-单模光纤结构的模式干涉效应和光谱响应特性进行理论分析;最后,借助宽谱光源和光谱分析仪测试了单模-多模-单模光纤结构随应力变化的透射光谱特性,通过对波峰随着应力改变而发生变化的曲线的观察,计算出其灵敏度,发现实验值与理论值基本吻合.
Single mode-multimode-single mode (SMS) sensor is widely used for parameters measurement, such as bending, dis-placement, temperature, strain, refractive index, etc. Generally, SMS sensor has advantages of simple structure, low cost and easy layout, therefore it has become a research hotspot in recent years. In this paper, the multimode fiber with large core is used for manufacturing SMS structure with high sensitivity. Firstly, the multimode fiber with core/cladding diameters of 105/ 125 jitm has access to the system by means of single mode optical fiber. Secondly, SMS device structure is manufactured by welding the eccentric shaft of multimode optical fiber. Afterwards, mode interference effect and spectral response characteristics of the structure of single mode-multimode-single mode optical fiber are analyzed theoretically. Finally, with the help of a wide spectrum light source and a spectrum analyzer, the transmission spectra characteristics of SMS optical fiber with strain is tested. By observing the curve that the wave changes with stress, the sensitivity is calculated and it is consistent with theoretical value .
