Attached Figure Description
[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an optical fiber temperature sensor used in strong magnetic field environments. Detailed Implementation
[0013] Example
[0014] like Figure 1 As shown, an optical fiber temperature sensor for use in strong magnetic field environments comprises a single-mode optical fiber 1 and an alumina sleeve 2. The single-mode optical fiber 1 has a biconical segment 3 in the middle, with an ellipsoidal microbubble 4 embedded in the recessed area of the biconical segment 3. The ellipsoidal microbubble 4 and the fiber core 6 are on the same horizontal plane. The alumina sleeve 2 is fitted onto the biconical segment 3, and both ends of the alumina sleeve 2 are bonded to the single-mode optical fiber 1 using high-temperature resistant inorganic adhesive 5. The ellipsoidal microbubble 4 has a transverse axis of 71.42 μm and a longitudinal axis of 76.73 μm. The minimum wall thickness of the ellipsoidal microbubble 4 and the recessed area between the biconical segment 3 is 3.2 μm.
[0015] Because the coefficient of thermal expansion of quartz is much smaller than that of corundum, the corundum sleeve expands when the temperature rises, while the single-mode optical fiber made of quartz is almost unaffected by the expansion. Therefore, the expansion of the corundum sleeve elongates the axial diameter of the ellipsoidal microbubble, thereby increasing the optical path difference. This change in optical path difference causes mode interference, which manifests as a wavelength shift in the spectrum. By monitoring the wavelength change in the spectrometer, temperature changes can be accurately detected. This structure features high sensitivity, high accuracy, a wide measurement range, and excellent environmental adaptability, making it widely applicable for precise monitoring of temperature changes.
[0016] The fiber sensor has strong anti-electromagnetic interference capability, mainly due to its use of optical signal transmission, which is not affected by electromagnetic fields. In addition, corundum as a non-metallic material, itself does not conduct electricity, so it does not respond to electromagnetic fields. This feature enables corundum material to effectively shield electromagnetic interference in strong electromagnetic field environments, preventing signal distortion or equipment failure. Compared with traditional temperature sensors, this sensor can work stably for a long time in high-temperature environments, and is very suitable for high-temperature applications such as metallurgy, aerospace, etc.
[0017] Due to the protection of the corundum tube, the sensor exhibits excellent durability when subjected to external mechanical impact, friction and wear. At the same time, corundum has high chemical stability and can resist the corrosion of various acids, bases and corrosive gases. This allows the sensor to work stably for a long time in chemically corrosive environments and is not easily affected by chemicals.
