The invention relates to the technical field of
optical fiber sensing, in particular to a
grating sensitization structure, a preparation method thereof and an
optical fiber sensor. The preparation method comprises the following steps: removing a cladding with a preset length and a preset height from an
optical fiber by adopting a side
polishing process; forming a side parabolic surface and an annular surface, and
etching a plurality of grooves in the annular surface; plating a
metal film on the annular surface; and preparing a Pt / WO3 film on the
metal film and the side polished surface to obtain the
grating sensitization structure. According to the preparation method, the Pt / WO3 thin film is used as a
hydrogen-sensitive material, when the
hydrogen concentration changes, the Pt / WO3 thin film absorbs
hydrogen and releases heat, the temperature of the
grating is increased, the
metal thin film expands and deforms due to the
heat effect, the grating is pulled to generate strain, and the response of the optical
fiber sensor to the
hydrogen concentration change is increased. Meanwhile, the grating is laterally thrown to form a D-shaped structure, and the stress on the two sides of the grating is not uniform, so that the grating is bent, the
strain effect is enhanced, and the sensitivity of the optical
fiber sensor is further enhanced.
