Abstract

The invention discloses a photonic crystal fiber grating temperature sensor based on liquid filling and a manufacturing method thereof. The photonic crystal fiber grating temperature sensor comprises a photonic crystal fiber cladding, wherein a germanium-doped fiber core is located at a center axis position in the fiber cladding; a Bragg grating structure is engraved on the surface of the fiber core; air vents are arranged along the axial direction of the fiber cladding and are distributed around the fiber core to form a multilayer matrix structure; and an index matching liquid with a thermal and light sensitive effect is filled in the air vents. The temperature sensitive property of the fiber Bragg grating temperature sensor is improved by filling the index matching liquid with the thermal and light sensitive effect into the air vents of the fiber cladding. By utilizing the photonic crystal fiber grating structure for filling liquid, the liquid thermal and light sensitive effect of a cladding area exists besides the liquid thermal and light sensitive effect and the heat expansion effect of a core area grating. The liquid thermal and light sensitive degree of the liquid is far better than that of a solid so that the photonic crystal fiber grating temperature sensor disclosed by the invention can obtain the thermal and light sensitive coefficient which are improved by 1-2 magnitude orders compared with that of the existing product.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber grating sensors, in particular to a high-sensitivity temperature sensor based on a liquid-filled photonic crystal optical fiber grating and a manufacturing method. Background technique [0002] 1) The fiber Bragg grating temperature sensor is a sensor characterized by wavelength coding. It measures the temperature change by measuring the movement of the Bragg reflection wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating. The measurement signal characteristics are not affected by factors such as light intensity, fiber bending and connection loss. This sensor has the advantages of being small and compact, free from electromagnetic interference, can realize simultaneous measurement of multiple nodes, and can be applied to various construction environments. [0003] 2) Most of the existing fiber grating temperature sensors are ordinary solid-clad fiber gratings, and very few use microstructured fibers (ie, p...
