چکیده

An in-line Mach–Zehnder-interferometer-based two-dimensional (2-D) micrometric displacement sensor was fabricated by inserting a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) with a length of 1 cm between two conventional singlemode fibers (SMFs). The left end of the PMF was mismatch fusion spliced with an SMF. The right end of the PMF was connected to another SMF without fusion splicing. Two independent interference patterns corresponding to the two orthogonal polarization modes in the PMF were obtained. The visibility of the interference patterns depends on the 2-D micrometric displacement of the SMF along the right end of the PMF on the slow axis and fast axis directions. Experimental results show that the 2-D micrometric displacement sensor with sensitivity of −0.669 dB∕μm on the slow axis direction and −0.301 dB∕μm on the fast axis direction was obtained. With the use of the intensity demodulation method, the proposed sensor can overcome temperature and displacement cross-sensitivity effects. © 2012 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.0060, 060.2370.

Highly-sensitive gas pressure sensor using twin-core fiber based in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

A Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on a twin-core fiber was proposed and experimentally demonstrated for gas pressure measurements. The in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer was fabricated by splicing a short section of twin-core fiber between two single mode fibers. A micro-channel was created to form an interferometer arm by use of a femtosecond laser to drill through one core of the twin-core...

Hydrostatic Pressure and Temperature Measurements Using an In-Line Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Based on a Two-Mode Highly Birefringent Microstructured Fiber

We present a comprehensive study of an in-line Mach-Zehnder intermodal interferometer fabricated in a boron-doped two-mode highly birefringent microstructured fiber. We observed different interference signals at the output of the interferometer, related to the intermodal interference of the fundamental and the first order modes of the orthogonal polarizations and a beating of the polarimetric s...
