The fibers are processed by chemical method and their outsides are peeled to form particles of irregular distribution and they differ in size, so the slight disturbance range of stochastic wall are formed in fibers. According to the characteristics of power loss of waveguide mode caused by slight disturbance of stochastic wall and radiative mode transmission, the range of slight disturbance of stochastic wall may be served as the sensitive range of the sensor. On the basis of theory of slight disturbance of stochastic wall of planar optical waveguide, the relation between the corrosion time and the opposite power loss by experiments is investigated. In this paper, the measurement results of object of SIFORS are also presented. The results show that the optical sensor technique may be used in the damage evaluation of an aircraft.展开更多

文摘We proposed a fiber optic high temperature sensor based on the Mach-Zehnder interference(MZI)structure,which is composed of two lengths of multi-mode fibers(MMFs),a length of few-mode fiber(FMF)and two sections of single-mode fibers(SMFs).Firstly,the two sections of MMFs were spliced with two sections of SMFs.Then,the MMFs were fused to two ends of FMF to form a symmetrically structured fiber-optic MZI structure.In this structure,the MMF served as the optical mode field coupling element,and the cladding and core of the FMF are the interference arm and the reference arm of the MZI structure,respectively.We investigated the sensor's response characteristics of the temperature and strain.The experimental results indicate that the sensor is sensitive to temperature variation,and the temperature response sensitivity is up to 61.4 pm/℃ in the range of 40-250℃,while the sensor has weak strain sensitivity,its strain sensitivity is only-0.72 pm/μe in the strain range of 0-1400μe.Moreover,the sensor has good stability and repeatability.In brief,the proposed fiber optic high temperature sensor has good properties,such as high sensitivity,compact structure,good stability and repeatability,which can be used for monitoring the temperature of submerged oil electric pump units under oil wells.

文摘The battery technology progress has been a contradictory process in which performance improvement and hidden risks coexist.Now the battery is still a“black box”,thus requiring a deep understanding of its internal state.The battery should“sense its internal physical/chemical conditions”,which puts strict requirements on embedded sensing parts.This paper summarizes the application of advanced optical fiber sensors in lithium-ion batteries and energy storage technologies that may be mass deployed,focuses on the insights of advanced optical fiber sensors into the processes of one-dimensional nano-micro-level battery material structural phase transition,electrolyte degradation,electrode-electrolyte interface dynamics to three-dimensional macro-safety evolution.The paper contributes to understanding how to use optical fiber sensors to achieve“real”and“embedded”monitoring.Through the inherent advantages of the advanced optical fiber sensor,it helps clarify the battery internal state and reaction mechanism,aiding in the establishment of more detailed models.These advancements can promote the development of smart batteries,with significant importance lying in essentially promoting the improvement of system consistency.Furthermore,with the help of smart batteries in the future,the importance of consistency can be weakened or even eliminated.The application of advanced optical fiber sensors helps comprehensively improve the battery quality,reliability,and life.
文摘A new oxazole compound,1,4 bis(naphtho[1,2 d][1,3]oxazol 2 yl)benzene(BNOB)was synthesized and incorporated into a thin plasticized polymeric membrane for sensing Amrinon.The sensor exhibits a linear response to Amrinon in the range of 798×10-7—152×10-4 mol/L at pH 328—404.The response mainly originates from the Primary Inner Filter Effect,which causes a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of the sensor membrane.The distinct advantages of the proposed sensor are of full reversibility,high sensitivity and selectivity as well as short response time(<1 min),indicating that the sensor can be used to monitor Amrinon in serum samples.

文摘A simple fiber sensor to measure angular displacement with high resolution, which is based on whispering gallery mode （WGM） resonance in bent optical fibers,is proposed. The sensor is composed of a single loop formed by loosely tying a knot using single mode fiber. To measure the transmission spectra, a tunable laser and an optic power meter are connected to the two ends of fi- ber loop, respectively. Significant WGM resonances occur over the investigated wavelength range for all the sensors with different bend radius. The angular-displacement sensitivity is studied in the range from -0. 1°to 0. 1°. The detection limit of 1.49 × 10 ^-7 rad can be achieved for the detecting system with the resolution of lpm. The simple loop-structure fiber sensor has potential application prospect in the field of architecture or bridge building with low detection limit and low cost.
