Embodiment 1

[0044] A waveguide pressure sensor based on M-Z structure, such as figure 1 As shown, it includes a single-wavelength light source 5, an M-Z structure 6 and an optical power meter 7; the single-wavelength light source 5, the M-Z structure 6 and the optical power meter 7 are connected in sequence, and the M-Z structure 6 includes an input coupler 8 connected in sequence, consisting of two different lengths The pressure sensing region 9 and the output coupler 10 are composed of a single-mode waveguide 11 . like Figure 6 As shown, one of the two single-mode waveguides 11 is linear and the other is sinusoidal, and the length difference ΔL between the two single-mode waveguides 11 is 0-10 mm. Since the sinusoidal shape is easy to design in the optical simulation software and export the pattern, it can be used as the preferred type.

[0045] The single-mode waveguide 11 is a strip waveguide or a ridge waveguide, the width of the single-mode waveguide 11 is 0.5-8 μm, and the thickne...

Abstract

The invention relates to a waveguide pressure sensor based on an M-Z structure and a detection method. The waveguide pressure sensor based on the M-Z structure comprises a single-wavelength light source, an M-Z structure and a light power meter; the single-wavelength light source, the M-Z structure and the light power meter are orderly connected; the M-Z structure comprises an input coupler, a pressure sensing area composed of two single-mode waveguides with different lengths and an output coupler, the input coupler, the pressure sensing area and the output coupler are connected in order. Thewaveguide pressure sensor provided by the invention is used for measuring the pressure by utilizing the change of an effective refractive index, and the own character of a force-applying object cannotbe changed; compared with a traditional detection method, the measurement precision of the waveguide pressure sensor of the patent can reach 0.001(mu)W, and the range can reach 12Mpa; and meanwhile,the pressure detection process is completely based on the photoelastic effect and the interference effect of the crystal, the current production is avoided, and the zero-power-consumption energy conservation and environmental protection are realized.
