Chemical sensor based on a fiber Bragg grating
Bragg wavelength sensitivity to the refractive index of the ambient media can be realized by etching out the cladding of fiber Bragg grating.A fiber Bragg grating with the diameter of 6 μm is abtained through hydrofluoric(HF) acid etching.Bragg wavelength sensitivity to chemical solutions is experimentally investigated.With an optical spectrum analyzer to detect the wavelength shift,the concentration resolutions of propylene glycol solutions are 0.7% and 0.32% at low and high concentrations,respectively.For sugar solutions,concentration resolutions are 0.55% and 0.1% respectively.In addition,the concentration resolutions can be improved an order of magnitude with wavelength interrogation module of 1 pm resolution.
