Abstract

The utility model discloses a high-sensitivity temperature and humidity sensing device based on a side-polished SNMNS cascade conical structure. The device comprises a broadband light source, a one-way isolator, a sensing unit, an attenuator, a signal processing unit and an upper computer which are sequentially connected through single-mode optical fibers. The sensing unit is composed of a tapering optical fiber cascaded side-polished SNMNS structure with the taper waist diameter of 4 microns, the taper area length of 20 mm and the waist area length of 1 mm. The non-adiabatic tapered optical fiber is prepared through a fused biconical taper method, and the free spectral range is expanded by using the vernier effect of a cascade structure, so that sensitivity amplification is realized. The refractive index of the optical fiber changes due to changes of external temperature and humidity, and the signal processing unit demodulates a spectrum inversion parameter value by modulating wavelength drift of an interference spectrum. The problems of low sensitivity and cross sensitivity of a traditional sensor are solved, and the sensor is suitable for multi-parameter high-precision sensing of environments such as industrial monitoring and biomedical treatment.
