FBG is insensitive to humidity and sensitive to temperature, which is used to compensate temperature of the sensor. Experimental results show this sensor has humidity sensitivity of 143.27 pm/%RH ranging from 30%RH to 80%RH and the temperature sensitivity of 9.21 pm/℃. The proposed sensor has advantages of simple structure, good repeatability, and good stability, which is expected to be used in both RH and temperature measurement in biological and chemical fields.展开更多

Due to the circular birefringence, the linear relationship between the max of PDL and pressure has been broken down. To estimate the cross sensitivity, a new parameter named relative peak of PDL (RPPDL) is proposed. Under different circular birefringence, the same pressure sensitivity of sensor has been achieved. The theo- retical analysis and experiment results prove that transverse strain sensor of FBG is insensitive to the circular birefrin- gence by applying the RPPDL. This research can be provided to useful and practical application.展开更多
