Sawtooth Fiber MZ Vector Bending Sensor Available for Multi Parameter Measurement

In this paper, a fiber Mach Zehnder (MZ) interferometer based on sawtooth structure was proposed. It not only has the ability of bending sensing and bending direction recognition, but also can be applied to multi parameter sensing. Here we established the fiber hetero core structure with single mode fiber-multimode fiber-single mode fiber (MSM), and then fabricated the sawtooth structure on the single mode fiber in the middle by CO 2 laser. Since part of the cladding on the single-mode fiber was removed, the fiber core was no longer at the neutral plane. When the sensor is bent in the 0° direction or 180° direction, the effective refractive index and optical path length of the core mode will increase or decrease, resulting in the increase or decrease of the optical path difference between the core mode and the cladding mode. And then the interference wavelength will show a red shift or blue shift, so as to realize the curvature sensing with bending direction recognition. Meanwhile, due to the local stress of the sawtooth structure in the bending, the sensitivity of the bending sensor is improved. The testing results indicate that the sensitivity of 0° bending and 180° bending are −15.16 nm/m −1 and 8.32 nm/m −1 with the curvature range of 0–1 m −1 . Moreover, the sawtooth structure sensor has excellent performance in strain, temperature and torsion sensing. The torsional sensitivity of the sensor reaches −0.30 nm/(rad/m) with torsional range of 0–13.96 rad/m, the temperature sensitivity reaches 58.90 pm/°C, and the strain sensitivity reaches −3.62 pm/μϵ. In strain sensing, there are some interference valleys insensitive to strain, which can realize the simultaneous measurement of other parameters and strain.
