摘要
We propose the trench-assisted multimode fiber(TA-OM4)as a novel sensing fiber in forward Brillouin scattering(FBS)-based temperature sensor,due to its higher temperature sensitivity,better bending resistance and lower propagation loss,compared with the single mode fiber(SMF)and other sensing fibers.The FBS effect and acousto-optic interaction in TA-OM4 are the first time to be demonstrated and characterized at 1550 nm theoretically and experimentally.A 2.0 km long TA-OM4 is put into an oven to measure its temperature sensitivity,which can reach up to 80.3 kHz/℃,exceeding 53%of SMF(52.4 kHz/℃).The simulated and experimental results verify that the TA-OM4 may be a good candidate as the sensing fiber for the FBS-based temperature sensor.
提出了沟道型折射率多模光纤(TA-OM4)可作为一种新型传感光纤应用于基于前向布里渊散射(FBS)的温度传感器中。同单模光纤(SMF)和其他传感光纤相比,TA-OM4多模光纤具有高温度响应、抗弯曲和低传输损耗的优良特性。从理论和实验上对TA-OM4多模光纤在1550 nm光波长下的FBS效应进行了研究。同时温度响应测试发现,TA-OM4的温度-频移系数可高达80.3 kHz/℃,比单模光纤的温度-频移系数(52.4 kHz/℃)高53%以上。
