DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0030] First, the technical terms involved in the present application are introduced.
[0031] The core of fiber grating sensing technology is to use the characteristics of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) to realize accurate measurement of target parameters through the change of reflected wavelength. Fiber grating sensing technology has the advantages of compact structure, easy integration and multipoint multiplexing, and can meet the demand of multipoint and distributed monitoring in modern industry. At present, fiber grating sensing technology is mainly divided into sensing technology based on Bragg grating and sensing technology based on long period fiber grating (LPFG). The sensing technology based on grating mainly realizes the measurement of temperature, strain or magnetic field and other parameters by monitoring the shift of reflected wavelength / transmitted wavelength, has high sensitivity and good linear response characteristics, is suitable for high-precision monitoring scenes, and is widely used in physical quantity monitoring in various fields. In addition, fiber grating sensing technology is often used for biochemical sensing. Different sensitive substances are modified at the position of the grating, which can realize the detection of heavy metal ions, pollutants, and even the detection of biological secretions, viruses and bacteria in biology, and even the detection of human cell secretions in life science to monitor human health. Miniaturized fiber grating sensors perform particularly outstanding in these fields, so miniaturization has become one of the mainstream directions of fiber grating sensing development, which can make fiber grating sensing be applied to more fields and have more excellent performance.
[0032] However, the fiber grating preparation in the related art has a relatively complex process and a relatively harsh equipment requirement, for example, a femtosecond laser, and ensuring the grating period also has a very high requirement for the grating writing equipment, and the micro fiber grating preparation is more difficult, the requirement for the grating writing equipment is higher, and the cost is also increased, which hinders the commercialization and wide application of the microstructure fiber grating sensor. Only by solving the problems of high cost, high requirement for equipment and strong dependence, the micro fiber grating sensor is expected to realize more commercialized production and wide application in the future. Under the above background, the main focus is to continuously develop a fiber sensor with a simple process, a novel structure, a low cost and good performance.
[0033] The present application can grow a low refractive index photosensitive polymer microstructure on the end face of the optical fiber by ultraviolet curing, continue to grow a high refractive index photosensitive polymer microstructure on the basis of the grown polymer microstructure by the same method, repeatedly grow a plurality of photosensitive polymer microstructures with high and low refractive index alternately to form a periodic grating structure, and build a reflective fiber grating sensor through the reflection wavelength, or build a transmission fiber grating sensor by connecting a transmission optical fiber at the end of the photosensitive polymer grating periodic grating structure. The sensor can be used to measure various physical quantities, and modification of sensitive substances on the photosensitive polymer grating can also realize biochemical sensing.
[0034] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0035] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 A self-grown fiber grating preparation method is provided, including the following steps 101 to 104. Wherein:
[0037] Step 101, respectively fix the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber horizontally, and make the cores of the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber located at the same horizontal plane.
[0038] Step 102, horizontally move the second optical fiber, and make the output end of the first optical fiber and the input end of the second optical fiber keep a preset distance.
[0039] Step 103, coating the ultraviolet glue at the preset distance between the first optical fiber output end and the second optical fiber input end, using the glue liquid tension to make the ultraviolet glue suspended at the preset distance to form a droplet; and using an ultraviolet light source to irradiate the ultraviolet glue through the first optical fiber for a preset time to obtain a refractive index self-growth structure; the ultraviolet light source is connected with the first optical fiber input end; the ultraviolet glue includes a first refractive index ultraviolet glue and a second refractive index ultraviolet glue; the second refractive index is greater than the first refractive index; the refractive index of the ultraviolet glue coated each time is different from the last time.
[0040] Step 104, updating the first optical fiber output end to the refractive index self-growth structure, returning to step 102 until the total length of all the refractive index self-growth structures reaches the preset grating length to obtain a self-growth fiber grating.
[0041] By implementing the above steps 101 to 104, the present application can effectively reduce the dependence of the fiber grating preparation process on complex equipment, and through simple horizontal fixing and moving operations, in combination with the refractive index change of the ultraviolet glue and ultraviolet light irradiation, the self-growth preparation of the micro fiber grating is realized.
[0042] As an optional embodiment, by dropping and coating ultraviolet glue (polymer) on the end faces of two optical fibers, inputting ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 350-400 nm at one end, the ultraviolet light is emitted from the optical fiber core coated with ultraviolet glue and irradiates the ultraviolet glue to realize light curing and growth of the polymer microstructure, and repeated growth of the polymer microstructure with the same length and diameter of the high and low refractive index can form a periodic micro grating structure to constitute a self-growth micro fiber grating. The length of the microstructure growth can be regulated by adjusting the power of the ultraviolet light and the light irradiation time to constitute a self-growth micro grating with different periods. The shape of the generated structure can be changed by changing the properties of the incident light to realize a self-growth micro grating with different shapes and different sensitivities.
[0043] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the self-growth fiber grating preparation method further comprises:
[0044] The structure parameters of the self-growth fiber grating are adjusted by the following operations:
[0045] The longitudinal length of the self-growth fiber grating is adjusted by blocking the input end or the output end of the first optical fiber.
[0046] Or the longitudinal length or the period of the self-growth fiber grating is adjusted by placing a filter at the input end or the output end of the first optical fiber.
[0047] Or the shape, transverse size and number of the self-growth fiber grating are adjusted by setting a mask at the input end or the output end of the first optical fiber.
[0048] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the adjustment of the structure parameters of the self-growth fiber grating further comprises:
[0049] Adjusting the light power of the ultraviolet light source and the preset time of the ultraviolet light source irradiating the ultraviolet glue, and adjusting the longitudinal length of the self-grown fiber grating.
[0050] Or adjusting the refractive index of the ultraviolet glue, and adjusting the effective refractive index of the self-grown fiber grating.
[0051] As an optional implementation, the ultraviolet glue for photocuring can be divided into ultraviolet glue with high and low refractive indexes, and the effective refractive index of the self-grown micro grating periodic structure can be adjusted by adjusting the type or component of the ultraviolet glue according to the characteristic reflection wavelength, and the characteristic reflection wavelength can be adjusted. More types of periodic structure fiber gratings can also be prepared by using more kinds of ultraviolet glue with different refractive indexes or gradually changing refractive indexes.
[0052] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the ultraviolet glue further comprises ultraviolet glue doped with special functional substances, including magnetic substances, heavy metal ion sensitive substances or biological affinity substances. Not only can the self-grown fiber grating be endowed with sensitivity to magnetic field, heavy metal ions and other substances, and the sensitivity to physical quantities such as temperature and stress can be improved, but also the self-grown fiber grating can be endowed with good biological affinity, hydrophilicity and other additional characteristics, and more extensive applications can be realized.
[0053] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, as Figure 2The preparation process of the self-grown fiber grating is shown in the figure. The self-grown fiber grating is prepared by the self-grown ultraviolet curing method. Two transmission optical fibers 4 (multimode optical fibers, the core 11 is 50 μm in diameter, and the cladding is 125 μm in diameter) are fixed on the optical fiber holder and the base 9, and the cores 11 of the two transmission optical fibers 4 are aligned on the same horizontal plane to facilitate the growth of the grating. The first refractive index ultraviolet glue (low refractive index ultraviolet glue) 8 is applied to the ends of the two transmission optical fibers, and the liquid drops are suspended between the two optical fibers by the tension of the ultraviolet glue itself. Then, the ultraviolet light source 10 is connected to the other end of the transmission optical fiber 4, and the ultraviolet light signal is propagated along the core 11 and output from the end of the optical fiber to irradiate the first refractive index ultraviolet glue (low refractive index ultraviolet glue) 8 for about 2-3 minutes to complete the ultraviolet curing, and the first refractive index self-grown microstructure 12 in the shape of the optical transmission track is formed. The shape of the first refractive index self-grown microstructure 12 changes according to the shape of the end face of the core 11. After the first first refractive index self-grown microstructure 12 is completed, the self-growth is continued on the basis, and the second refractive index ultraviolet glue 13 (higher than the first refractive index ultraviolet glue 8) is applied between the first refractive index self-grown microstructure 12 and the end face of the transmission optical fiber at the other end, and the second refractive index ultraviolet glue 13 is suspended between the first refractive index self-grown microstructure 12 and the end face of the optical fiber by the tension of the second refractive index ultraviolet glue 13. Then, the ultraviolet light source 10 is used to propagate the ultraviolet light signal along the core 11 and the first refractive index self-grown microstructure 12 and output to irradiate the second refractive index ultraviolet glue 13 for about 2-3 minutes to complete the ultraviolet curing, and the second refractive index self-grown microstructure 14 in the shape of the optical transmission track is formed.
[0054] The operation is repeated to form the self-grown microstructure with the first refractive index and the second refractive index, and the periodic grating structure can be formed to finally form the self-grown fiber grating. According to the characteristic reflection wavelength formula λ = 2n eff of the Bragg grating, it can be known that the characteristic reflection wavelength λ of the self-grown fiber grating is related to the effective refractive index n eff and the grating period Λ of the self-grown fiber grating. The length of the first refractive index self-grown microstructure 12 and the second refractive index self-grown microstructure 14 can be adjusted by adjusting the ultraviolet curing time and the light power of the ultraviolet light source 10, so as to control the grating period Λ of the self-grown fiber grating and further control the characteristic reflection wavelength λ of the self-grown fiber grating. The refractive index of the first refractive index ultraviolet glue 8 and the second refractive index ultraviolet glue 13 can also be adjusted to further control the effective refractive index n eff of the self-grown fiber grating and further control the characteristic reflection wavelength λ of the self-grown fiber grating. Compared with the traditional preparation of the fiber grating, the characteristic reflection wavelength λ of the self-grown fiber grating is more convenient to control, and the requirement for the equipment precision is also lower.
[0055] Based on the same inventive concept, the application further provides a self-grown fiber grating sensor for implementing the self-grown fiber grating preparation method described above. The implementation scheme for solving the problem provided by the device is similar to the implementation scheme described in the above method, and therefore the specific limitations in one or more self-grown fiber grating sensor embodiments provided below can refer to the limitations of the self-grown fiber grating preparation method described above, which will not be repeated here.
[0056] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Fig. (a), a self-grown fiber grating sensor is provided, which includes a light source module 2, a transmission fiber 4, a fiber grating sensing module 5, an environment module 6 containing a to-be-measured object, an optical circulator 3, a signal processing module 1, and a host computer 7. Figure 3 (a) shows a self-grown fiber grating sensor, which includes a light source module 2, a transmission fiber 4, a fiber grating sensing module 5, an environment module 6 containing a to-be-measured object, an optical circulator 3, a signal processing module 1, and a host computer 7.
[0057] The light source module 2 is used to provide an input light signal.
[0058] The transmission fiber 4 is used to connect the light source module 2, the optical circulator 3, the fiber grating sensing module 5, and the signal processing module 1, and transmit the input light signal.
[0059] The fiber grating sensing module 5 is located in the environment module 6 containing the to-be-measured object, and is used to reflect the input light signal to generate a reflected light signal containing the characteristic reflection wavelength of the to-be-measured object.
[0060] The input end of the optical circulator 3 is connected with the light source module 2 through the transmission fiber 4; the bidirectional transmission interface is connected with the fiber grating sensing module 5 through the transmission fiber 4, and is used to transmit the light source signal and collect the reflected light signal; and the output interface is connected with the signal processing module 1 through the transmission fiber 4, and is used to transmit the reflected light signal to the signal processing module 1. Specifically, the optical circulator 3 is a required fiber device for the reflective fiber sensor, the input end is connected with the input light source of the light source module 2 through the transmission fiber 4, the bidirectional transmission interface is connected with the fiber grating sensing module 5 through the transmission fiber 4, the input light signal of the light source module 2 is input into the fiber grating sensing module 5, and the reflected light signal thereof is transmitted back to the optical circulator 3, the output interface is connected with the signal processing module 1 through the transmission fiber 4, and the reflected light signal is transmitted to the signal processing module 1 to process the reflected light signal; the signal processing module 1 contains a fiber spectrometer, which is mainly used to receive the reflected light signal (and realize demodulation processing to form a spectrum.
[0061] The signal processing module 1 is used to generate spectrum data according to the received reflected light signal; the spectrum data includes a reflection peak wavelength value.
[0062] The host computer 7 is used to obtain a detection result of the to-be-measured object based on the spectrum data, according to a calibration relationship between a reflection peak wavelength change amount and a to-be-measured quantity of the to-be-measured object; the to-be-measured quantity includes temperature, concentration, PH value, pressure, electric field intensity, or magnetic field intensity.
[0063] In this embodiment, the optical circulator 3 is mainly used for reflective fiber grating sensors. The light source module contains a broadband light source, which provides a broadband light signal 17 into the entire sensing system for the self-grown fiber grating in the fiber grating sensing module 5 to generate a reflected light signal. Thus, the wavelength coverage of the entire light source includes the characteristic reflection wavelength of the fiber grating sensing module 5. The transmission fiber 4 transmits the broadband light signal 17 of the light source module 2 to the fiber grating sensing module 5 and collects the grating reflected light signal in the fiber grating sensing module 5. The grating of the fiber grating sensing module 5 is a self-grown microstructure at the end of the optical fiber by ultraviolet curing. The microstructure with different refractive indexes is staggered to form a periodic structure with grating characteristics to constitute a self-grown fiber grating. The characteristic reflection wavelength is calculated according to the grating period and the effective refractive index of the grating. The grating period can be changed by adjusting the ultraviolet curing time and the ultraviolet light power. The effective refractive index of the grating can be adjusted by adjusting the refractive index of the ultraviolet glue. The self-grown micro grating with the characteristic reflection wavelength is prepared. The preparation process of the self-grown micro grating does not need laser inscription grating, and the preparation is fast, controllable and low in dependence on equipment, which greatly reduces the production cost. According to the characteristics of the periodic structure, the light with the characteristic reflection wavelength and the light near the characteristic reflection wavelength (very narrow) have very high reflectivity. The light with the non-characteristic reflection wavelength and the light near the non-characteristic reflection wavelength have very high transmissivity, so as to form sharp reflection peaks and transmission peaks. The external environment or sensitive substances change the characteristic reflection wavelength of the grating by changing the period length or the effective refractive index of the grating. The self-grown fiber grating sensor can detect whether the reflected wavelength of the fiber grating sensing module 5 changes and the change amount to realize qualitative and quantitative sensing of physical quantities or biochemical substances. The optical circulator 3 is mainly used for reflective fiber grating sensors, which can collect the reflected light signal reflected by the fiber grating sensing unit in one direction and transmit it to the signal processing module 1. The signal processing module 1 contains a fiber spectrometer, which collects and processes the reflected light 15 of the fiber grating sensing unit, transmits the processed spectrum to the upper computer 7, and presents the spectrum image processed by the fiber spectrometer in the signal processing module. The center wavelength drift of the reflection peak / transmission peak of the sensor can be calibrated according to the physical quantity or the amount of the biochemical substance to be measured, that is, the calibration equation is obtained by calculating the relationship between the reflection peak wavelength / transmission peak wavelength and the physical quantity or the biochemical substance. After detecting the reflection peak wavelength / transmission peak wavelength in the subsequent sensing detection, the qualitative and quantitative sensing detection of the physical quantity and the biochemical substance can be realized according to the calibrated relationship. The reflective self-grown fiber grating sensor can directly insert the fiber grating sensing module 5 into the environment to be detected for detection.
[0064] As an optional embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the fiber grating sensing module 5 is connected to the light source module 2 through the transmission fiber 4, and the reflected light signal of the fiber grating sensing module 5 is collected by the optical circulator 3 and transmitted to the signal processing module 1. The signal processing module 1 contains a fiber spectrometer, which collects and processes the reflected light 15 of the fiber grating sensing unit, transmits the processed spectrum to the upper computer 7, and presents the spectrum image processed by the fiber spectrometer in the signal processing module. The center wavelength drift of the reflection peak / transmission peak of the sensor can be calibrated according to the physical quantity or the amount of the biochemical substance to be measured, that is, the calibration equation is obtained by calculating the relationship between the reflection peak wavelength / transmission peak wavelength and the physical quantity or the biochemical substance. After detecting the reflection peak wavelength / transmission peak wavelength in the subsequent sensing detection, the qualitative and quantitative sensing detection of the physical quantity and the biochemical substance can be realized according to the calibrated relationship. The reflective self-grown fiber grating sensor can directly insert the fiber grating sensing module 5 into the environment to be detected for detection. Figure 3(b) as shown, the self-growing fiber grating sensor further comprises: a light source module 2, a transmission fiber 4, a fiber grating sensing module 5, an environment module 6 containing the measured object, a signal processing module 4 and a host computer 7.
[0065] The light source module 2 is connected with the fiber grating sensing module 5 through the transmission fiber 4, and is used to provide an input light signal.
[0066] The transmission fiber 4 is used to transmit the input light signal. The transmission fiber 4 connects the light source module 2, the fiber grating sensing module 5 and the fiber spectrometer to form a transmission light path, and is mainly used for collecting and transmitting the light signal of the light source module 2 and the transmission light of the self-growing fiber grating.
[0067] The fiber grating sensing module 5 is located in the environment module 6 containing the measured object, and is connected with the signal processing module 1 through the transmission fiber 4, and is used to transmit the input light signal to generate a transmission light signal containing the characteristic transmission wavelength of the measured object.
[0068] The signal processing module 1 is also connected with the host computer 7, and is used to generate spectrum data according to the received transmission light signal; the spectrum data includes a transmission peak wavelength value.
[0069] The host computer 7 is used to obtain a detection result of the measured object based on the spectrum data, according to a calibration relationship between a transmission peak wavelength change amount and a measured quantity of the measured object; the measured quantity includes temperature, concentration, PH value, pressure, electric field intensity or magnetic field intensity.
[0070] The transmission type self-growing fiber grating sensor can detect the environment by placing the fiber grating sensing module 5 in the environment to be detected.
[0071] As an optional implementation, the fiber grating sensing module 5 includes a self-growing fiber grating.
[0072] The self-growing fiber grating is inserted and fixed in the environment module containing the measured object by using a sealed or open packaging structure. The detection cavity is formed by packaging, and the sensitive substance is modified on the periodic structure of the self-growing micro grating, so that the detection of biochemical substances can be realized.
[0073] Specifically, the self-growing fiber grating can be inserted into the open cavity structure such as a capillary tube by packaging to reduce the interference and noise generated by the external environment, and to improve the signal-to-noise ratio and sensing accuracy of the reflection spectrum and transmission spectrum.
[0074] In the implementation, the fiber grating sensing module 5 can be used to simultaneously grow multiple self-grown fiber gratings with different shapes, sizes, and lengths by using a multi-core optical fiber and a micro mask, and can also grow multiple self-grown fiber gratings with different shapes, lengths, and even effective refractive indexes. The reflection signals / transmission signals of the multiple self-grown fiber gratings can be jointly interfered to improve the performance of the fiber grating sensing module 5.
[0075] As an optional implementation, the self-grown fiber grating includes a sensitive substance to be measured, which is modified on the self-grown fiber grating by a silanization method or an electrostatic adsorption method. The sensitive substance includes an antibody, a bacteriophage, or an enzyme. The self-grown fiber grating sensor can be used to detect biological molecules, viruses, bacteria, and microorganisms, and can expand the application field of the self-grown fiber grating sensor.
[0076] As an optional implementation, the self-grown fiber grating sensing module further includes a cascaded self-grown fiber grating. The cascaded self-grown fiber grating is a self-grown fiber grating with different characteristic reflection wavelengths. By cascading multiple self-grown fiber gratings with different periods, parameter (temperature or magnetic field) compensation and multi-parameter sensing detection can be achieved. That is, multi-parameter sensing detection can be achieved by the drift of different reflection peak wavelengths / transmission peak wavelengths in the spectrum.
[0077] As an optional implementation, the signal processing module includes a fiber spectrometer.
[0078] The fiber spectrometer is used to collect spectral data of the to-be-measured substance in real time and output a reflection peak wavelength value of the to-be-measured substance.

[0080] In summary, as Figure 3 (a) and Figure 3(b) as shown, the self-grown fiber grating sensor based on self-grown fiber grating includes light source module 2, transmission fiber 4, fiber grating sensing module 5, optical circulator 3, signal processing module 1 and host computer 7. Light source module 2 inputs broadband light signal 17 (650nm-1700nm) into the entire self-grown fiber grating sensor through transmission fiber 4. Transmission fiber 4 connects light source module 2, fiber grating sensing module 5, optical circulator 3 (for reflective self-grown fiber grating sensor), signal processing module 1 to realize the optical path of the entire sensor, and transmits broadband light signal 17 to fiber grating sensing module 5, collects reflected / transmitted light signal and transmits it to information processing module 1 for processing. Fiber grating sensing unit 5 is composed of self-grown fiber gratings formed by sequentially self-growing multiple microstructures on the end face of the optical fiber by ultraviolet curing. When broadband light signal 17 is input into the self-grown fiber grating in fiber grating sensing module 5, narrow-band light signal near the characteristic reflection wavelength of the self-grown micrograting will be reflected back, and light with non-characteristic reflection wavelength will be transmitted to the next period structure, and the reflection and transmission of light will be repeated to form a superposition of reflected and transmitted light. The entire fiber grating sensing module 5 is placed in an environment module 6 containing the measured substance for detection. The environment can be a physical quantity detection environment (such as electromagnetic field, oven, etc.) or a biochemical environment (such as heavy metal ion solution, microbial culture solution, etc.).
[0081] Optical circulator 3 is a one-way transmission fiber element for reflected light signal in reflective self-grown fiber grating sensor. The input end (only input light, cannot output light) connects light source module 2 through transmission fiber 4 to receive broadband light signal 17, the bidirectional end (can output light and receive light) connects fiber grating sensing module 5 through transmission fiber 4 to transmit broadband light signal 17 from light source module 2 to fiber grating sensing module 5 and receive the reflected light signal generated thereby, and the output end (only output light, cannot input light) connects signal processing module 1 through transmission fiber 4 and transmits reflected light 15 signal to it for collection and processing. Signal processing module 1 includes a fiber spectrometer. Reflected light 15 signal / transmitted light 18 signal is transmitted to it through transmission fiber 4 for collection and processing to form a spectrum, and the spectrum information is displayed on the display through host computer 7. The relationship between the reflected / transmitted peak wavelength and the measured physical quantity / biological substance can be calculated and calibrated. Subsequently, the measured physical quantity / biological substance can be qualitatively and quantitatively detected according to the calibration relationship. The fiber grating sensor based on self-grown micrograting can build a transmission type sensing system or a reflection type sensing system, which has good flexibility.
[0082] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4(b) shows the light transmission principle diagram of the self-grown micro grating and the light source spectrum of the broadband light signal 17 of the light source module respectively. The two sides of the self-grown micro grating are connected with the end face of the transmission fiber through ultraviolet glue light curing, the cores 11 of the two sides of the transmission fiber are horizontally aligned with the self-grown fiber grating, and the broadband light signal 17 is input from the light source module 2 into the fiber grating sensing module 5, then the narrowband light near the characteristic reflection wavelength of each period of the self-grown fiber grating is reflected back to the direction of the broadband light signal 17 to form reflected light 15, and the reflected light 15 after passing through all the periods is superimposed to form a reflected spectrum 16, as shown in Figure 4 (c) shows that the specific reflected spectrum image will appear a sharp reflection peak near the characteristic reflection wavelength; the light at the non-characteristic reflection wavelength will be transmitted through each period of the self-grown micro grating to form transmitted light 18, and the transmitted light 18 after passing through all the periods is superimposed to form a transmitted spectrum 19, as shown in Figure 4 (d) shows that the specific transmitted spectrum image will appear a sharp loss peak near the characteristic reflection wavelength. During the sensing process, the sensing can be realized according to the changes of the characteristic reflection wavelength and the non-characteristic reflection wavelength.
[0083] In another exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 5 (a) is a biological sensing principle diagram of the self-grown fiber grating. The self-grown fiber grating is used for biological sensing, the sensitive substance 21 (antibody, bacteriophage, enzyme, etc.) of the measured substance is modified on the self-grown fiber grating by silanization, electrostatic adsorption or the like to constitute a self-grown fiber grating biosensor based on the self-grown fiber grating. The sensing part of the self-grown fiber grating biosensor, i.e. the fiber grating sensing module 5, is placed in a liquid environment or a gas environment containing the measured substance 20 (bacteria, virus, biological molecule, etc.), and the measured substance 20 meets the sensitive substance 21 of the measured substance to form a combination body by specific binding.
[0084] Therefore, when the broadband light signal 17 is input from the core 11 into the self-grown fiber grating of the fiber grating sensing module 5, according to the characteristic reflection wavelength formula of the Bragg grating λ = 2n eff Λ, the characteristic reflection wavelength λ will change according to the changes of the effective refractive index n eff and the grating period Λ, when the sensitive substance 21 of the measured substance on the self-grown fiber grating combines with the measured substance 20 to form a combination body, the effective refractive index of the self-grown microstructure at the corresponding position will change, thereby affecting the effective refractive index n eff of the self-grown fiber grating, according to the change of the effective refractive index, the characteristic reflection wavelength λ of the self-grown fiber grating will drift. As shown in Figure 5 (b) and Figure 5(c) as shown, the reflection peak wavelength and the loss peak wavelength on the reflection spectrum 16 and the transmission spectrum 19 will change, and the peak position will also drift, and the drift direction and the wavelength change direction are related to the effective refractive index n of the self-grown fiber grating after the sensitive substance 21 of the measured substance 20 is combined with the measured substance 20 eff The change amount of the characteristic reflection wavelength λ can be calculated and calibrated with the known concentration of the measured substance 20, and the calibrated relationship can be used to directly calculate the change amount of the characteristic reflection wavelength λ to realize the qualitative and quantitative sensing detection of the biochemical / biological.
[0085] The present application has the following advantages:
[0086] 1. The present application adopts a method of self-growing micrograting on the end face of the optical fiber by ultraviolet curing to build an optical fiber grating sensor. The characteristics of optical fiber core waveguide transmission are used to coat ultraviolet glue on the end of the two core aligned optical fibers. Ultraviolet light is transmitted through one of the optical fibers and output from the end of the optical fiber coated with ultraviolet glue to irradiate the ultraviolet glue for photocuring. According to the transmission direction of the optical waveguide, the cured ultraviolet glue forms a micro polymer structure. Then, different refractive index ultraviolet glue is replaced to continue growing micro polymer structures with different refractive indexes on the basis of the original micro polymer structure. The periodic structure is formed by repeatedly growing multiple times to form a self-growing micrograting. The optical fiber grating sensor prepared by this method does not need a laser to write a grating. Compared with the preparation of traditional optical fiber grating sensors, the preparation is faster, and the cost and dependence on equipment are greatly reduced.
[0087] 2. The present application adopts a method of self-growing micrograting on the end face of the optical fiber by ultraviolet curing. The self-growing micrograting with corresponding shape, size and number can be self-grown according to the shape, size and number of the optical fiber core. The input end or the input end of the optical fiber can be temporarily blocked, placed with a filter and a mask, etc. to realize the self-growing of self-growing microgratings with different shapes, different sizes, even different numbers and different lengths at the same time. Compared with the preparation of traditional special optical fiber gratings, this method for preparing microgratings has the advantages of simplicity, flexibility, efficiency and lower cost.
[0088] 3. This community utilizes self-grown microgratings as the sensing unit of self-grown fiber grating sensors. During fabrication, the grating period can be controlled by adjusting the power of the ultraviolet light and the curing time to create self-grown microgratings with different periods. Different refractive indices of ultraviolet adhesives can be used to fabricate self-grown microgratings, thereby controlling the effective refractive index and modulating the characteristic reflection wavelength to regulate the optical signal. Compared to traditional fiber grating fabrication, this method offers greater flexibility and controllability, and is simpler to operate. Furthermore, by changing different types of ultraviolet adhesives (doped with different substances, such as Fe3O4, or ultraviolet-cured hydrogels), different properties can be achieved to detect different physical quantities and biochemical substances. Additionally, the self-grown microgratings can be endowed with special functionalities, such as biocompatibility and hydrophilicity. A reflective self-grown fiber grating sensor can be constructed using its reflected wavelength; or a transmissive self-grown fiber grating sensor can be constructed by connecting a transmission fiber to the end of a periodic grating structure of a photosensitive polymer grating. The fiber grating sensor prepared by this method does not require writing gratings on the fiber core, is prepared quickly, reduces the cost of traditional fiber grating sensor preparation, and has lower equipment requirements. The prepared sensor can be used to measure various physical quantities, and biochemical sensing can also be achieved by modifying the photosensitive polymer grating with sensitive substances, enabling the sensor to achieve a wider range of sensing and detection applications.
