DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application more clear, the following further describes this application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0041] The gas sensing system based on graphene side-polished FBG provided in the embodiment of the present application includes an amplified spontaneous emission light source, a polarization controller, a fiber coupler, a spectrum analyzer, a real-time demodulation system and at least one graphene side-polished FBG;

[0042] The graphene side-polished FBG includes a single-layer graphene and a side-polished FBG polished by a polishing device, wherein the single-layer graphene is used to tune the central wavelength of the side-polished FBG;

[0043] The amplified spontaneous emission light source is used to generate multi-path broadband light which is sequentially passed into the polarization controller, the optical fiber coupler and at least one graphene side-polished FBG;

[0044] The polarization controller is used to tune the polarization state of broadband light to tune the loss of graphene side-polished FBG;

[0045] The spectrum analyzer is used to receive the broad spectrum light transmitted by the graphene side-polished FBG and analyze it to obtain the analysis results;

[0046] The real-time demodulation system is used to obtain the concentrations of multiple gases to be measured based on the analysis results.

[0047] In one embodiment, the laser effective area of ​​the side-polished FBG and the single-layer graphene is 2×10 -8 m 2 -8×10 -8 m 2 within the range.

[0048] In one embodiment, the real-time demodulation system is specifically used to: obtain the position of the central wavelength of the broadband light according to the analysis results; calculate the drift of the central wavelength according to the position of the central wavelength; and calculate the concentration of the gas to be measured according to the drift of the central wavelength.

[0049] In one embodiment, the central wavelength of the side-polished FBG is in the range of 550 nm to 1570 nm, and the transmission bandwidth of the side-polished FBG is 1 nm.

[0050] In one embodiment, the polished region of the side-polished FBG has a depth in the range of 50 μm to 60 μm.

[0051] In one embodiment, the wavelength of the broad spectrum light generated by the amplified spontaneous emission light source is in the range of 1525 nm to 1575 nm.

[0052] In one embodiment, the polishing device includes an optical fiber fixing device, a polishing grinding wheel, a grinding wheel driving motor, and a three-dimensional diameter measurement platform.

[0053] In one embodiment, the polishing area of ​​the side-polished FBG has a length of 2 cm.

[0054] The most detailed embodiment of this application is:

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a test system diagram of a gas sensing system based on graphene side-polished FBG. The wavelength range of the amplified spontaneous emission light source (ASE light source 5) is 1525nm-1575nm, and the FBG is a single-mode FBG.

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the side surfaces of the single-mode optical fiber 1 and the single-mode FBG 2 are polished using an optical fiber fixture, a polishing wheel, a grinding wheel drive motor, and a three-dimensional diameter measurement platform to obtain a side-polished FBG. The polishing depth of the D-shaped polishing area 3 is about 60 μm, and the length of the D-shaped polishing area 3 is about 2 cm. A single-layer graphene 4 is transferred to the D-shaped polishing area 3 using a wet transfer technique. The laser effective area of ​​the side-polished FBG and the single-layer graphene 4 is about 2×10 -8 m 2 -8×10 -8 m 2 In the range of 7×10-8m 2 , and finally completed the preparation of graphene side-polished FBG device.

[0057] Combine Figure 2Single-mode FBGs 2 with different central wavelengths are selected as initial devices. After the above operations, a first graphene side-polished FBG device 8, a second graphene side-polished FBG device 9, and a third graphene side-polished FBG device 10 are respectively produced. A fiber-optic gas sensing system is formed through a fiber coupler 7. The produced fiber-optic gas sensing system is placed in an environment where gas sensing is required. The broadband light generated by the ASE light source 5 is injected into the first graphene side-polished FBG device 8, the second graphene side-polished FBG device 9, and the third graphene side-polished FBG device 10, respectively, through a polarization controller 6 and a fiber coupler 7. The polarization controller 6 can tune the polarization state of the laser light to adjust the loss in each graphene side-polished FBG device. Due to the transmission characteristics of FBGs, only light within their transmission bandwidth can pass through, and each graphene side-polished FBG device has a different central wavelength and transmission bandwidth. Therefore, the broadband light transmitted by the multi-path graphene side-polished FBG device can be directly passed into the spectrum analyzer 11, and finally the central wavelength of each signal is demodulated and quickly calculated in real time by the real-time demodulation system 12, thereby obtaining multiple gas concentrations.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown in FIG, a transmission spectrum diagram of the first graphene side-polished FBG device 8 in this embodiment is generated under the drive of the ASE light source 5 , and it can be seen that its central wavelength is 1566.9 nm and the bandwidth is about 1 nm.

[0059] When this fiber-optic gas sensing system is used for gas sensing, gas molecules adsorb onto the graphene monolayer 4 in the D-shaped polished region 3 of each graphene side-polished FBG device. This changes the complex effective refractive index of the graphene monolayer 4, thereby shifting the central wavelength of the side-polished FBG. Because different gas types and concentrations cause different changes in the FBG central wavelength, gas sensing is possible.

[0060] In this embodiment, real-time sensing of multiple components of three gases can be achieved. Figure 4 The relationship between the gas concentration and the FBG's central wavelength when sensing a specific gas using the first graphene side-polished FBG device 8 is recorded, demonstrating a linear response. Because each FBG device simultaneously cross-responds to three gases, the specific concentrations of the three gases in the gas sensing environment can be determined through real-time demodulation and calculation of a linear system of equations. Accordingly, for complex gas environments with more components, the number of FBG devices can be increased to determine the concentration of each gas by solving the linear equations.

[0061] As can be seen from the above examples, the present invention combines graphene with FBG, utilizing a novel structure to achieve a novel fiber-optic gas sensing system that is low-cost, simple to operate, and easily integrated, and can also simultaneously demodulate multiple gases. By combining two-dimensional material optoelectronics, fiber microstructure processing technology, FBG central wavelength control principles, and gas sensing technology, the present invention addresses the problems of existing fiber-optic gas sensing systems, such as low integration, complex operation, and inability to simultaneously detect multiple gases. The system offers advantages such as low cost, simple operation, small size, and easy integration, making it suitable for a variety of complex gas sensing applications, including environmental monitoring and power equipment testing. This contributes to further exploration of more highly integrated gas sensing systems in this field.

[0062] Each module in the aforementioned side-polished graphene FBG-based gas sensing system can be implemented in whole or in part through software, hardware, or a combination thereof. Each module can be embedded in or independent of a processor in a computer device in the form of hardware, or can be stored in a computer device's memory in the form of software, so that the processor can call and execute the corresponding operations of each module.

[0063] Based on the same inventive concept, embodiments of the present application also provide a method for gas sensing based on graphene side-polished FBGs for implementing the aforementioned gas sensing system based on graphene side-polished FBGs. The solution provided by this method is similar to the solution described in the aforementioned system. Therefore, the specific limitations of one or more embodiments of the gas sensing method based on graphene side-polished FBGs provided below can be found in the above-mentioned limitations on the gas sensing system based on graphene side-polished FBGs and will not be repeated here.

[0064] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the present application also provides a gas sensing method based on graphene side-polished FBG, the method comprising:

[0065] Step S502: polishing the side of a single-mode FBG using a polishing device to obtain a side-polished FBG, attaching a single-layer graphene to the side region of the side-polished FBG to obtain a graphene side-polished FBG, so that the single-layer graphene tunes the central wavelength of the side-polished FBG;

[0066] Step S504, passing the broadband light generated by the amplified spontaneous emission light source into the polarization controller, the fiber coupler and at least one graphene side-polished FBG in sequence;

[0067] Step S506, tuning the polarization state of the broadband light to tune the loss of the graphene side-polished FBG;

[0068] Step S508, receiving and analyzing the broadband light transmitted by the graphene side-polished FBG to obtain analysis results;

[0069] Step S510: acquiring concentrations of multiple gases to be measured based on the analysis results.

[0070] Specifically, the side of the single-mode FBG is polished by a polishing device, and the side of the single-mode FBG is polished by a physical method to form a specific structure, that is, a side-polished FBG.

[0071] Attaching the single-layer graphene to the side region of the side-polished FBG is to precisely place or transfer the single-layer graphene material to a specific region of the side-polished FBG.

[0072] The single-layer graphene is used to tune the center wavelength of the side-polished FBG. The introduction of graphene can change the optical properties of the FBG, especially the center wavelength, because graphene affects the refractive index of light.

[0073] The broadband light generated by the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source is sequentially fed into a polarization controller and fiber coupler, processing and transmitting the light through a series of devices. The processed light is ultimately fed into at least one graphene side-polished fiber-glass (FBG) for further optical interaction.

[0074] Tuning the polarization state of broadband light to tune the loss of graphene side-edge polished FBG is done by adjusting the polarization state of light to change its interaction with the FBG, thereby adjusting the loss characteristics of the FBG.

[0075] Light transmitted or reflected by the FBG contains gas sensing information, which can be analyzed using a spectrum analyzer. The analysis results typically include information such as the wavelength and intensity of the light, which is correlated with variations in the FBG's central wavelength. By analyzing variations in the FBG's central wavelength, the type and concentration of the gas can be inferred. This is because different gas molecules interact with graphene, causing specific variations in the FBG's central wavelength.

[0076] The aforementioned gas sensing system based on graphene side-polished fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) leverages graphene's gas molecule adsorption capacity, combined with the optical properties of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), to achieve highly sensitive gas molecule detection. The system can simultaneously monitor multiple gases, using a real-time demodulation system to analyze the drift of the center wavelengths of different FBGs, enabling real-time sensing of multiple gases. By simplifying the operational process and system integration, the entire sensing system is easy to operate and integrate. The combination of graphene and FBGs reduces material and production costs, making the sensing system more economical. The system design prioritizes integration, facilitating integration with other systems and devices. Using an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) source and an optical spectrum analyzer, the system monitors gas concentration changes in real time. By tuning the center wavelength of the FBGs, the system can distinguish between different gases, improving detection selectivity. Adsorption of gas molecules by graphene rapidly alters its Fermi level, which in turn rapidly tunes the center wavelength of the FBGs, achieving a fast response. Due to the small size of graphene and FBGs, the entire sensing system is also compact, making it easier to carry and deploy. The system design takes into account the adaptability to complex environments, enabling it to operate stably in a variety of environments. Utilizing at least one graphene side-polished FBG ensures efficient and accurate data transmission.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, the concentrations of multiple gases to be measured are obtained based on the analysis results, including:

[0078] According to the analysis results, the position of the central wavelength of the broadband light is obtained;

[0079] According to the position of the central wavelength, the drift of the central wavelength is calculated;

[0080] The concentration of the gas to be measured is calculated based on the drift of the central wavelength.

[0081] Specifically, in spectral analysis, the central wavelength of broadband light refers to the strongest or most pronounced wavelength in the spectrum. The location of this central wavelength can be determined by using a spectrum analyzer to receive light transmitted through a side-polished graphene FBG. The location of this central wavelength is closely related to the optical properties of the FBG and the presence of gases. The drift of the central wavelength refers to the change in the FBG's central wavelength due to the interaction between gas molecules and graphene under different gas environments. The drift can be calculated by comparing the currently measured central wavelength with the initial central wavelength. This drift reflects the influence of the gas. Different gases have different effects on graphene, so the drift of the central wavelength can be used to infer the gas concentration. By establishing a mathematical model or empirical formula to quantify the relationship between the drift and gas concentration, the concentration of the gas under test can be determined.

[0082] In this example, spectral analysis is used to detect changes in light characteristics (central wavelength) and infer gas concentration. This approach leverages fiber optic sensing technology and the superior properties of graphene to achieve efficient, real-time monitoring of gas concentration. This method offers the advantages of high sensitivity and fast response, making it suitable for detecting a wide range of gases.
