In this paper, we demonstrate an effective method to compensate the temperature effect of long period fiber grating (LPFG). First it is found that the resonant wavelength of LPFG showes a right shift when the temperature increases while it has an opposite shift when the applied strain increases. On the basis of the characteristic, plexiglass is used to compensate the shift of the resonant wavelength induced by the tempera-ture change. The temperature characteristic of compensated LPFG has been performed. And the compensa-tion experimental result shows the temperature sensitivity of the resonance wavelength of LPFG is reduced from 55.71pm/°C to 3.7pm/°C. It is found that the method to compensate temperature is effective and prac-tical.

We demonstrate a simple and highly sensitive optical fiber relative humidity (RH) sensor based on a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite films. The resonance wavelength of the LPFG is sensitive to environmental humidity due to the change in effective refractive index caused by the strong surface absorption and desorption of the porous PEG/PVA coatings. The sensor is sensitive in a wide range from 50% to 95% RH, with a highest sensitivity of 2.485 nm/%RH in the range 50–75% RH. The proposed RH sensor has the advantages of compact size, good reversibility, and stability, which makes it attractive for high-humidity environments.

Using nonlinear coupled mode equations, the spectral properties of long-period fiber grating are studied analytically taking into account the Kerr type optical nonlinearity in the medium. The nonlinear coupled-mode equations were solved for co-propagating core and cladding mode amplitudes and expressions for transmittivity and phase factor at high excitation intensity are obtained. It is observed that the resonance wavelength of grating shifts towards higher wavelength side with increasing excitation intensity. Also, the minimum transmittivity of the grating shows oscillating behavior with increasing grating length, whereas the phase of the transmitted wave increases monotonically with length at high input intensities.

A novel tunable Erbium-doped fiber ring laser (EDFRL) with a cascaded-chirped long-period fiber grating (C-CLPG) as a wavelength selection filter is proposed from the viewpoint of the sensor use, in which a variable optical attenuator (VOA) is employed as an intracavity loss modulator to change the oscillation wavelength region so that the resultant tuning wavelength range is widened. In the demonstrative experiment for temperature measurements, oscillation over the wavelength range of 12.85 nm (1557.62~1570.47 nm), which is more than three times range of the previously presented laser and is equivalent to 64 °C in terms of temperature change, was achieved, while a single-wavelength oscillation was maintained. In addition, a practical technique for realizing a temperature measurement by combining with the VOA control is also discussed.

In this work, we experimentally demonstrated an optical fiber sensor capable of performing simultaneous measurement of torsion and temperature using a π-phase-shifted long-period fiber grating (LPFG) inscribed on double-clad fiber (DCF), referred to as a PS-DC-LPFG. The fabricated PSDC- LPFG showed split attenuation bands near its resonance wavelength, and the two dips in these bands were selected as sensor indicators, denoted as Dips A and B, for the simultaneous measurement of torsion and temperature. The torsion and temperature responses of the two indicators were investigated in a twist angle range from −360° to 360° and a temperature range from 30 to 120 °C, respectively. When the twist angle increased from 0° to 360° (clockwise) at room temperature, both Dips A and B showed redshifts. On the contrary, when the twist angle decreased from 0° to −360° (counterclockwise), the two dips showed blueshifts. In terms of temperature responses, both dips showed redshifts with increasing ambient temperature while the sensor head (i.e., the PS-DC-LPFG) remained straight without any applied torsion. Owing to their linear and independent responses to torsion and temperature, the changes in torsion and temperature applied to the PSDC- LPFG could be simultaneously estimated from the measured wavelength shifts and calculated sensitivities of the two indicator dips.
