Characterization of Long-period Grating Refractive Index Sensors and Their Applications
The influence of grating length and bend radius of long-period gratings (LPGs) on refractive index sensing was examined. Sensitivity to refractive indexes smaller than that of silica could be enhanced by bending LPGs. Bent LPGs lost sensitivity to refractive indexes higher than that of silica, whereas a 20-mm-long LPG arranged in a straight line had considerable sensitivity. These experimental ...
متن کاملWidely tunable long-period waveguide grating filters
This paper presents a review of the development of long-period waveguide gratings (LPWGs) with focus on the realization of various kinds of tunable devices, such as band-rejection filters, variable attenuators, band-pass filters, and add/drop multiplexers. A number of specific examples are given to demonstrate how the geometry and material flexibility of the optical waveguide technology facilit...
متن کاملAn Ultrasensitive Long-Period Fiber Grating-Based Refractive Index Sensor with Long Wavelengths
The response of a novel long-period fiber grating (LPFG) with a period of 180 µm to a surrounding refractive index (RI) was investigated. The results displayed that, with the increase in RI of the surrounding media of cladding glass in the grating region, the resonant peak located at 1336.4 nm in the transmission spectrum gradually shifts towards a shorter wavelength, while the resonant peak lo...
متن کاملDiffraction-grating-based Bloch Surface Wave Refractive Index Sensors
A planar optical sensor consisting of a diffraction grating and a onedimensional photonic crystal based on Bloch surface wave excitation effect is proposed. The obtained results can find application in the design of novel onchip refractive index sensors.
متن کاملIn-fiber reflection mode interferometer based on a long-period grating for external refractive-index measurement.
We present two novel schemes for refractometry based on a long-period fiber grating- (LPG-) based Michelson interferometer. These schemes are designed to overcome the measurement dependence of previously demonstrated LPG-based refractometry on the immersion depth. The first utilizes an unshielded LPG and the second, a shielded one. Both schemes were tested over a certain refractive-index range,...
