Polarization-maintaining photonic-crystal-fiber-based all-optical polarimetric torsion sensor

An application of a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF) for torsion sensing is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The response of the sensor is theoretically validated using the Jones matrix. High normalized sensitivity of ∼0:014=° was measured within a linear twist angle range from 30° to 70°. The sensor response was observed to be highly repeatable over a 90° twist...

Fiber optic pressure sensor based on polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber for downhole application

We experimentally demonstrate a high pressure sensor based on a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PMPCF) with Sagnac loop configuration for downhole application. The pressure sensitivity of the proposed sensor is 4.21 nm/MPa and 3.27 nm/MPa at ~1320 nm and ~1550 nm respectively. High pressure measurement up to 20 MPa has been achieved in our experiment. The sensor also shows redu...

Pressure sensor realized with polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber-based Sagnac interferometer.

A novel intrinsic fiber optic pressure sensor realized with a polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF) based Sagnac interferometer is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. A large wavelength-pressure coefficient of 3.42 nm/MPa was measured using a 58.4 cm long PM-PCF as the sensing element. Owing to the inherently low bending loss and thermal dependence of the PM-PCF, the pr...

Fiber optic Sagnac loop with a polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber as an optical wavelength demodulator for fiber Bragg grating sensors

The properties of a fiber optic Sagnac loop with a polarization maintaining photonic crystal fiber are presented, which is utilized as an optical wavelength demodulator. Owing to the use of a photonic crystal fiber, which has high birefringence and a very low temperature coefficient of birefringence, a temperature-stable optical wavelength demodulator circuit was obtained. The constructed demod...

Fabrication of Polarization-Maintaining Photonic Crystal Fiber Coupler with Air Hole State Control Using CO2 Laser Irradiation Technique

Polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber couplers (PM-PCFCs) were fabricated using a CO2 laser irradiation technique. We could control the states of air holes in the tapered region of couplers by adjusting the laser power density in the fusion and the elongation processes. It was demonstrated that the air hole remaining PM-PCFC exhibited polarization-splitting characteristics and that th...
