폴리머 코팅된 측면 연마 단주기 격자 기반 외부 굴절률 및 온도 동시 측정 센서 연구 = Simultaneous Measurement of External Refractive Index and Temperature by Using a Side-polished Fiber Bragg Grating with a Polymer Overlay

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 측면연마 된 광섬유 브래그 격자를 측면 연마하고 폴리머 상부층(overlay)를 형성시켜 외부 굴절률과 온도를 동시 측정할 수 있는 광섬유 센서 소자를 제안하였다. 외부굴절률 변화에 민감하지 않는 광섬유 브래그 격자를 이용하여 온도를 측정하고 격자를 측면 연마한 후 폴리머 코팅에 의해 소산장 결합을 유도하여 외부 굴절률 변화를 측정하게 된다. 측면 연마된 광섬유 브래그 격자의 온도 민감도는 0.01 nm/oC로 측정되었고 폴리머 상부층의 온도 민감도는 -0.58 nm/oC로 측정되었고 선형구간 별(1.33-1.39, 1.39-1.42, 1.42-1.44) 굴절률 민감도는 498.8 nm/RIU, 694.9 nm/RIU, 1312 nm/RIU로 측정되었다.

A hybrid grating sensing device based on a side-polished fiber Bragg grating (FBG) with a polymer overlay is proposed for simultaneous measurement of external refractive index and temperature. The side-polished FBG, which is insensitive to ambient index change, is utilized for detecting temperature variation, and the polymer overlay is coated on the side-polished FBG for measurement of ambient index change. The temperature sensitivities of the side-polished FBG and the polymer overlay were measured to be 0.01 nm/$^{\circ}C$ and -0.58 nm/$^{\circ}C$, respectively, in a temperature range from $30^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$. The ambient index sensitivities of the polymer overlay were measured to be 498.8 nm/RIU in an ambient index range from 1.33 to 1.39, 694.9 nm/RIU from 1.39 to 1.42, and 1312 nm/RIU from 1.42 to 1.44.
