Embodiment Construction

[0019] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] figure 1 It is a device diagram of a sensitivity-enhanced sensor based on a Loyt-Sagnac interferometer. The broadband light source 1 emits a laser beam. The bandwidth of the broadband light source used in the experiment is 60nm. The light enters the coupler 3 through the optical isolator 2, and the coupler divides the light wave into Two beams of waves propagating in opposite directions, wherein the light propagating in the clockwise direction respectively passes through the first polarization controller 4, the reference fiber 5, the single-mode fiber 6, the second polarization controller 7 and the sensing fiber 8 in the loop, The light transmitted in the counterclockwise direction respectively passes through the sensing fiber 8, the second polarization controller 7, the single-mode fiber 6, the reference fiber 5 and the first polarization controller 4, and the ...

Abstract

The invention discloses a sensitivity enhanced sensor based on a Loyt-Sagnac interferometer. The sensor is characterized in that a laser beam emitted by a broadband light source is input to a coupler 3 via an optical isolator 2, the coupler divides light waves into two paths transmitted in different directions, the light transmitted in the clockwise direction passes a first polarization controller 4, a reference fiber 5, a single-mode fiber 6, a second polarization controller 7 and a sensing fiber 8 in a loop, the light transmitted in the anticlockwise direction passes the sensing fiber 8, the second polarization controller 7, the single-mode fiber, the reference fiber and the first polarization controller 4, the length difference between the reference fiber and the sensing fiber is 10%, the two light beams pass the loop again, reach the coupler 3 and output coherently, and output light is received by a spectrum analyzer 9 for subsequent analysis. A new interferometer structure uses two high-birefringence fibers (the reference fiber 5 and the sensing fiber 8) of different lengths to generate a vernier effect, the measuring precision can be effectively improved, the structure is simple, preparation is easy, the cost is low, and the sensitivity enhanced sensor has potential in high-precision physical quantity sensing.
