非温度敏感角度传感器

We demonstrate the fabrication of the helical long-period grating (HLPG) in a two-mode fiber (TMF) with CO2 laser. The torsion characteristics of the helical gratings are experimentally investigated. It was found that the resonance wavelength of the TMF-HLPG linearly shifts with a twist sensitivity of 0.47 nm/(rad/m), which is an order magnitude higher than that of the conventional long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs). The temperature sensitivity of the TMF-HPFG was measured to be 23.9 pm/°C, which is one third of that of the conventional LPFGs. The proposed TMF-HLPG-based twist sensor would have a promising application for the twist monitor.
