- ItemMicro-structured fiber interferometer as sensitive temperature sensor(Heidelberg : Springer, 2013) Favero, F.C.; Becker, M.; Spittel, R.; Rothhardt, M.; Kobelke, J.; Bartelt, H.We report on a fast and sensitive temperature sensor using a micro-structured or photonic crystal fiber interferometer with a high germanium doped fiber core. The wavelength sensitivity for temperature variation was as high as δλ/δT= 78 pm/ C up to 500 C, which was 6 times more sensitive than the fiber Bragg grating temperature sensitivity of δλ/δT= 13 pm/ C at 1550 nm. The sensor device was investigated concerning the sensitivity characteristics and response time.
- ItemHigh-visibility photonic crystal fiber interferometer as multifunctional sensor(Basel : MDPI AG, 2013) Cárdenas-Sevilla, G.A.; Fávero, F.C.; Villatoro, J.A photonic crystal fiber (PCF) interferometer that exhibits record fringe contrast (~40 dB) is demonstrated along with its sensing applications. The device operates in reflection mode and consists of a centimeter-long segment of properly selected PCF fusion spliced to single mode optical fibers. Two identical collapsed zones in the PCF combined with its modal properties allow high-visibility interference patterns. The interferometer is suitable for refractometric and liquid level sensing. The measuring refractive index range goes from 1.33 to 1.43 and the maximum resolution is ~1.6 × 10-5.
