Embodiment 1

[0028] Take an ordinary optical fiber, peel off the protective layer of the middle part and expose the fiber cladding, use pulsed laser to melt the middle part of the fiber at high temperature, make the middle part appear tapered and gradually become thinner, control the drawing process so that the diameter of the thinnest part reaches After a few microns to pull off. Then continue to use the pulsed laser to locally melt the broken end of the optical fiber. Under the action of surface tension, the end of the optical fiber forms a more standard spherical shape, and the melting time is controlled. After cooling, a microsphere with a diameter of 50 microns with a fiber micro-handle is obtained.

[0029] Mix 6.56 ml of TPAOH (tetrapropylammonium hydroxide) solution, 15.3 ml of TEOS (tetraethyl tetrasilicate) solution and 30 ml of distilled water, and stir at 50° C. for 3 hours. A microresonator with an optical fiber micro-handle is placed in the mixed liquid and the mixed liquid i...

Abstract

The invention relates to an optical fiber sensor based on a zeolite molecular sieve film-plating microresonator and a preparation method thereof. The optical fiber sensor comprises a fiber core 103, a coating layer 101, a protective layer 102, an optical medium microsphere resonator 104, and a zeolite molecular sieve film 105 for plating, wherein the outer part of the fiber core 103 is coated with the coating layer 101; the outer part of the coating layer 101 is covered by the protective layer 102; the coating layer 101, the protective layer 102 and the fiber core 103 form an optical fiber main body; a groove is processed in the middle of the optical fiber main body and the fiber core 103 is exposed; and the optical medium microsphere resonator 104 which is plated with the zeolite molecular sieve film 105 and is provided with a micro-rod is fixed on the side wall of the groove. In the invention, the structure of the optical medium microsphere resonator 104 is used for replacing the traditional microprobe processed by laser near field, under irradiation of femtosecond laser, the optical field around the optical medium microsphere resonator 104 is near-field distribution, and by near-field processing, the gap between the optical medium microsphere resonator 104 and the optical fiber main body reaches several nanometers to dozens of nanometers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of high-sensitivity micro-sensors, and relates to a spherical micro-resonator, a zeolite membrane molecular sieve formed on its surface and an optical fiber sensing technology, in particular to an optical fiber sensor based on a zeolite molecular sieve-coated micro-resonator and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Due to their high sensitivity to changes in refractive index, micro-optical resonators have been successfully used in the development of chemical and biological sensors. The developed micro-resonators include spherical, cylindrical, ring, disc, rectangular, etc., which are rotationally symmetrical The microresonator supports high-quality whispering gallery modes (WGMs). Among them, spherical microresonators have attracted increasing attention due to their extremely high quality factor and extremely small mode volume, and will be used in applications that require extremely thin linewid...
