摘要
We have demonstrated an evanescent field refractive index fiber sensor comprising a 42-mm Bragg grating in an etched fiber together with a tunable Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR) laser. Characterization of different aqueous sucrose solutions resulted in a resolution of roughly 10 mM sucrose. The sensor in the presented form has a theoretical sensitivity of higher than 10(-5) refractive index unit (riu) in a refractive index region close to the cladding index of the fiber. However the technique allows for an even higher sensitivity than 10(-6) riu with a proper signal processing scheme.
