Abstract

The invention discloses a Mach-Zehnder interference optical fiber based on a surface plasma effect and a sensor thereof, which belong to the field of optical fiber sensors. According to the Mach-Zehnder interference optical fiber based on the surface plasma effect, a first layer of metal film is arranged on the periphery of a sensing area optical fiber, a polymer layer is arranged on the peripheryof the first layer of metal film, and a second layer of metal film is arranged on the periphery of the polymer layer; the thickness of the first layer of metal film is 20 to 200nm, the thickness of the polymer layer is 150 to 180nm, and the thickness of the second layer of metal film is 20 to 50nm. According to the optical fiber, a heavy metal film can generate surface plasma waves under the action of light waves, and two beams of plasma waves can be generated in a double-layer heavy metal film structure, so that Mach-Zehnder interference can be formed. Change of an external environment to bedetected can cause movement of an interference spectrum, and high-sensitivity detection is achieved according to the movement amount of the wavelength. The structure is simple, the refractive index sensitivity is high, and the sensor can work in any waveband.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of optical fiber sensors, in particular to a surface plasmon effect-based Mach-Zehnder interference optical fiber and a sensor thereof. Background technique [0002] The optical fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor has been widely used due to its high sensitivity. The free electrons oscillate, forming surface plasmon waves. However, at present, the working wavelength of the optical fiber sensor based on the principle of surface plasmon resonance is mainly concentrated in the visible light band, and there are certain limitations to the long wavelength and even the mid-infrared band. Therefore, further improving the sensitivity and broadening the working wavelength can better expand the sensor. scope of application. [0003] The Mach-Zehnder interferometer divides a beam of optical signal into two parts, one part enters the reference arm, and the other part enters the sensing arm, and after a certain distance,...
