摘要: 利用2×2熔锥型光纤耦合器,提出一种检测溶液浓度的新方法.首先,根据熔融光纤拉伸锥形曲线和超模耦合器理论,分析计算出熔锥型光纤耦合器输出分光可见度与其耦合锥区外部介质折射率的关系曲线;然后,实验上将2×2单模光纤耦合器浸入一种溶液中,当光经过熔锥耦合区后,其耦合分光可见度将随锥区外部的溶液浓度(折射率)而变化.由此,可实现对溶液浓度的检测.理论计算和实验结果有较好的一致性.

Abstract: A new method for measuring concentration of solutions using a fused tapering coupler of optical fiber is reported. According to the shape-curve function of a fused tapering fiber and the super-mode coupling theory,relation between output coupling visibility (CV) of the coupler and refractive index of the medium surrounding the coupler is investigated. A 2×2 fused tapering single-mode optical fiber coupler is immersed into a solution in the experiment. When light is injected into the coupler, the CV is changed with variation of solution-concentration (refractive-index) surrounding the fused tapering zone of the couple. The solution-concentration sensor is realized. The theoretical and experimental results are in good agreement.

Key words: coupling visibility, fused tapering coupler, refractive index, solution-concentration, optical fiber sensor
