In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple technique to enhance the curvature sensitivity of a bending fiber optic sensor based on anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) guidance. The sensing structure is assembled by splicing a segment of capillary hollow-core fiber (CHCF) between two single-mode fibers (SMF), and the device is set on a steel sheet for measuring different curvatures. Without any surface treatment, the ARROW sensor exhibits a curvature sensitivity of 1.6 dB/m−1 in a curvature range from 0 to 2.14 m−1. By carefully coating half of the CHCF length with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), the curvature sensitivity of the ARROW sensor is enhanced to −5.62 dB/m−1, as well as an increment in the curvature range (from 0 to 2.68 m−1). Moreover, the covered device exhibits a low-temperature sensitivity (0.038 dB/°C), meaning that temperature fluctuations do not compromise the bending fiber optic sensor operation. The ARROW sensor fabricated with this technique has high sensitivity and a wide range for curvature measurements, with the advantage that the technique is cost-effective and easy to implement. All these features make this technique appealing for real sensing applications, such as structural health monitoring.

A fiber optic whispering gallery mode (WGM) resonator was proposed and realized by integrating an inline polymer waveguide with a microsphere mounted on it. The polymer waveguide with a diameter of 1 μm was printed with femtosecond laser-assisted multiphoton polymerization in a section of a grooved hollow-core fiber, which was sandwiched between two single-mode fibers. Two WGW resonators assembled with microspheres of different sizes were prepared. The transmission spectra of those stimulated WGMs were investigated both in simulation and experimentally. The temperature response of the resonators was particularly studied, and a linear sensitivity of −593 pm/°C was achieved from 20 °C to 100 °C.

Operating Wavelength

A cost effective and simple fabrication process for Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) fiber based sensor has been proposed based on single mode-multimode-single mode structure and multimode-single mode-multimode. These proposed structures employed a standard fusion arc splicing by varying the length of sensing region instead of the structures. This sensor has been experimentally demonstrated for three different concentration of solutions such as water, 1mol sucrose solution and oil with the refractive index of 1.333, 1.384 and 1.464 respectively. Furthermore, the intention of this experiment is to determine which structure that provides superior performance in terms of the sensitivity of the device. The operating wavelength of different structures corresponds to the different refractive index. It is observed that the shifting response was influenced by the length of the sensing-area and the best sensitivity achieved for is -10.45nm/RIU.

A high sensitivity fiber-optic sensor based on self-imaging effect in a hollow-core capillary waveguide (HCCW) is presented for sensing applications. The sensor is composed of a section of HCCW fusion spliced between single mode fibers (SMFs). The self-imaging effect in the HCCW is investigated with different fiber lengths and arc-fusion parameters. By infiltrating the hollow core with index matching liquids, the peak wavelength of the proposed device shifts towards longer wavelengths. The temperature and refractive index (RI) responses of the sensor are studied systematically. When temperature is increased from 25 °C to 75 °C, the temperature sensitivity of the device can be improved significantly with the infiltrated structure, and reaches −0.49 nm/°C, compared with that of the un-filled device, which is 9.8 pm/°C. For the RI response, the liquid-filled structure achieves sensitivity of 12,005 nm/RIU in the range between 1.448 and 1.450, slightly higher than the 11,920 nm/RIU achieved by the un-filled one. The proposed sensor exhibits the advantages of simple structure, high sensitivity and low cost, which may find potential applications in physical and chemical sensing.
