In this paper, we report numerically calculated results of testing a temperature-insensitive refractive sensor based on a planar-type long-period waveguide grating (LPWG). The LPWG consists of properly chosen polymer materials with an optimized thermo-optic coefficient for the core layer in a four-layer waveguide structure. The resonant wavelength shift below the spectral resolution of the conventional optical spectrum analyzer is obtained accurately over a temperature change of ${\pm}7.5^{\circ}C$ even without any temperature control. The refractive index sensitivity of the proposed grating scheme is about 0.004 per resonant wavelength shift of 0.1 nm for an optimized thermo-optic coefficient.

본 논문에서는 캐스케이드된 장주기 광섬유격자 구조의 해석에 기존의 두모드 결합 모델(TMCM)을 적용할 때에 발생하는 제한요인들에 대하여 분석하고, 아울러 이를 바탕으로 만족 시 TMCM 적용의 유효성을 보장하는 구체적인 조건들을 제안하다. 또한, 실제 상황에서 흔히 찾아 볼 수 있는 격자 파라메터 값을 적용하여 이와 같은 조건들이 의미하는 격자주기 변화의 허용범위와 사용가능 대역폭에 관하여 수치해석 결과를 갖고 논한다.

열광학 장주기 격자를 이용한 노치 필터의 파워 소모를 이론적으로 살펴 보았다. 여기서 열광학 장주기 격자는 주기적인 히터들과 패드들로 구성된 히터 배열에 의해 유발된다. 히터 배열에서 소모되는 파워는 열광학 장주기 격자를 유발하는 줄(joule) 열로 전환되기 때문에, 그 파워를 조절함으로써 노치 필터의 특성을 동적으로 제어할 수 있다. 적절한 결합 효율을 얻기 위해 히터 배열에 가하는 파워는 히터 배열의 인자들에 의존하는데, 이 인자들은 히터의 폭과 길이, 패드의 폭, 그리고 히터 배열을 구성하는 금속 박막의 두께이다. 이 인자들이 파워 소모에 미치는 영향을 이론적으로 해석하는 근사적인 방법을 설명하고, 설명한 방법을 사용하여 인자들의 변화에 따른 파워 소모의 변화를 해석한다. 해석 결과로부터 파워 소모를 줄이기 위해 필요한 인자 선택의 기준을 도출한다.

For the precise analysis and design of LPFG's, a new method of generalized N$\times$N coupled-mode theory by section-wise discretization was proposed. This is applicable to the analysis for arbitrary grating structures, which can readily take grating nonuniformities and multimode couplings into account. Utilizing the method, several analyses of LPFG's were presented, and relationships between the grating structures and their spectral responses were discussed.

In this paper, the sensing characteristics of a double cladding fiber (DCF) long-period fiber grating (LPFG) to the surrounding refractive index (SRI) are studied. The outer cladding of the DCF plays the role of the overlay, thus, the mode transition (MT) phenomenon of DCF can be induced by etching the outer cladding radius instead of coating overlays. The response characteristics of the effective refractive index (ERI) of the cladding mode to the outer cladding radius are analyzed. It is found that in the MT range, the change rate of ERIs of cladding modes is relatively larger than that for other ranges. Further, based on the features of the mode transition region (MTR), the phase-matching curve of the 11^th cladding mode is investigated, and the response of the DCF-LPFG to the SRI is characterized by the change of wavelength intervals between the dual peaks under different outer cladding radii. The numerical simulation results show that the SRI sensitivity is greatly improved, which is available to 3484.0 nm/RIU with the fitting degree 0.998 in the SRI range of 1.33-1.37. The proposed DCF-LPFG can provide new theoretical support for designing the DCF-LPFG refractive index sensor with excellent performances of sensitivity, linearity and structure.

We present a fiber laser sensor that uses a fiber grating as a strain sensor head and an end-reflector of the laser cavity. A passive wavelength. The long-period grating band-rejection filter showed a wide usable filter wavelength range of about 25 nm, and the intensity of transmitted light increased by 16% for 1nm sensor wavelength shift in trhe measurement range.

We have developed novel optical-fiber sensors based on strain-induced long-period fiber gratings for monitoring the deformation of a hull. They have no external pressure for sustaining the mechanical formed gratings. The pressure, which provides a force to form the periodic grating along the single mode fiber, was realized by the bonding strength of a photopolymer. To reduce the polarization dependency of the sensors caused by the asymmetry structure of gratings, a Faraday Rotator Mirror (FRM) was utilized in this experiment. We have realized the polarization-insensitive function of the proposed sensors. The change of an external strain are measured by an optical spectrum analyzer. When the external stain increases. the attenuation at the resonant wavelength decreases and the loss peak was slightly shifted to the shorter wavelength.

This study used an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) dry etching process with a metal amplitude mask to fabricate a double-side notched long-period fiber grating (DNLPFG) for loading sensing. The DNLPFG exhibited increasing resonance attenuation loss for a particular wavelength when subjected to loading. When the DNLPFG was subjected to force loading, the transmission spectra were changed, showing a with wavelength shift and resonance attenuation loss. The experimental results showed that the resonant dip of the DNLPFG increased with increasing loading. The maximum resonant dip of the $40-{\mu}m$ DNLPFG sensor was -26.522 dB under 0.049-N loading, and the largest force sensitivity was -436.664 dB/N. The results demonstrate that the proposed DNLPFG has potential for force sensing applications.
