Abstract

The invention provides a peanut-shape structure-based refractive index sensor of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The peanut-shape structure-based refractive index sensor of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is characterized by consisting of an incidence optical fiber (1), a first peanut-shape structure (2), a connection optical fiber (3), a second peanut-shape structure (4) and an emergent optical fiber (5), wherein two ends of the first peanut-shape structure (2) are respectively connected with the incidence optical fiber (1) and the connection optical fiber (3); two ends of the second peanut-shape structure (4) are respectively connected with the connection optical fiber (3) and the emergent optical fiber (5); the two peanut-shape structures (2) and (4) are connected through a section of the connection optical fiber (3); and the two peanut-shape structures (2) and (4) and the connection optical fiber (3) form a full-optical fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The peanut-shape structure-based refractive index sensor of the Mach-Zehnder interferometer is high in sensitivity, simple to manufacture, low in cost and tiny in structure, and can be applied to various practical projects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention provides a refractive index sensor based on a Peanut-Shape Structure Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (Mach-Zehnder Interferometer), which belongs to the technical field of optical fiber sensing. Background technique [0002] Mach-Zehnder interferometers are widely used in the field of sensing. It is made using the principle of double-beam interference. The traditional Mach-Zehnder interferometer is composed of a monochromatic laser, two couplers, two ordinary single-mode optical fibers and a spectrometer. The coherent light emitted by the laser enters two single-mode optical fibers of the same length through a coupler. One optical fiber is placed in the test environment as a sensor to sense the change of a certain physical quantity, and the other optical fiber is used as a reference arm. Fix it, and then use another coupler to make the two beams of light with different optical path differences in the sensing arm and the reference arm interf...
