Optical fiber sensors of refractive index play important role in analysis of biological and chemical samples. This work presents a theoretical investigation of a spectral response of fiber optic microsphere with zinc-oxide (ZnO) thin film deposited on the surface and evaluates the prospect of using such structure for refractive index sensing. Microsphere is fabricated by optical fiber tapering method on the base of a single mode fiber. A numerical model is described and simulation was conducted to assess the influence of the ZnO layer deposition on a reflected signal. The results indicate that ZnO film improves the performance in terms of a potential application in refractive index sensor. Full Text: PDF ReferencesY. Qian, Y. Zhao, Q. Wu, Y.

Fiber optic interferometers have a wide range of applications including biological and chemical measurements. Nevertheless, in case of a reflective interferometer setup, standard silver mirrors cannot be used in every measurement, due to their chemical activity. In this work, we investigate the surface quality of a thin optical layer of silicon nitride (SiN) which can serve as an alternative material for silver mirrors. We present measurements carried out with a Fabry-Perot fiber optic interferometer working in a reflective mode. Measurement results allow us to determine the surface quality of the investigated layer. Full Text: PDF ReferencesK. Karpienko, M.S. Wróbel, M.

Reliability Of Operation

The article deals with the measurement of deformations of structural elements of technical systems. The analysis of damages and deformations arising in the elements of aircraft structures during operation is carried out. The conducted researches of the fiber-optical sensor (VOD) based on the Fabry-Perot interferometer confirmed its accuracy and reliability of operation, since the interferometer base is significantly less than the length of the fastening element. The influence of the change in ambient temperature on the change in the base is negligible. Thus, the application of the method of fiber-optic low-coherence interferometry makes it possible to provide high accuracy and reliable measurement of the deformations of the structural elements of technical systems in the process of their research, design, manufacture and operation, which makes it possible to recommend the use of the Fabry-Perot interferometer as primary transducers (sensors) as part of measuring systems. The manufacturing technology has been developed and the sensitivity of the VOD temperature sensors made on the basis of the Fabry-Perot interferometer has been tested, which have shown their reliability and future application in automated measuring systems.
