ABSTRACTThis paper reports on the fabrication and characterization of thin-film nanocomposites comprised of tangled carbon nanotubes in a polymer matrix. The concentration of nanotubes in the polymer was significantly increased using detonation nanodiamonds. Nanodiamonds reduce the surface forces between the polymer and the nanotubes and mitigate the agglomeration problem of nanotubes in polymer. This resulted in thinner and more uniform networks that are efficient absorbers of infrared energy over a broad spectrum, ranging from the visible to the mid-wavelength infrared. An infrared absorbance of 97% was achieved for a 1.6 μm thick nanocomposite film across the spectral range of 714 nm to 5 μm. The films are mechanically and thermally stable up to 300 °C, and can be integrated with microbolometers to enhance their responsivity.

In this paper, the fabrication and characterization of a temperature sensor based on periodically tapered optical fibers (PTOF) are presented. The relation between the geometry of the sensors and sensing ability was investigated in order to find the relatively simple structure of a sensor. Four types of PTOF structures with two, four, six and eight waists were manufactured with the fusion splicer. For each PTOF type, the theoretical free spectral range (FSR) was calculated and compared with measurements. The experiments were conducted for a temperature range of 20–70 °C. The results proved that the number of the tapered regions in PTOF is crucial, because some of the investigated structures did not exhibit the temperature response. The interference occurring inside the structures with two and four waists was found be too weak and, therefore, the transmission dip was hardly visible. We proved that sensors with a low number of tapered regions cannot be considered as a temperature sensor. Sufficiently more valuable results were obtained for the last two types of PTOF, where the sensor’s sensitivity was equal to 0.07 dB/°C with an excellent linear fitting (R2 > 0.99). The transmission dip shift can be described by a linear function (R2 > 0.97) with a slope α > 0.39 nm/°C.
