RESUMEN
The dispersion characteristics of superstructure fiber gratings written in multimode fibers and side-polished multimode fibers are investigated at different bending curvatures. The experimental results show that the group time delay in multimode superstructure fiber gratings can be tuned more easily than that of superstructure gratings in single-mode fiber. This method can provide tunable dispersion of superstructure fiber gratings by controlling the bending curvatures for application in dispersion compensators, fiber sensors, or suitable optical filters of optical communication systems.
RESUMEN
By means of novel packaged-structure design, a temperature independent differential pressure sensor based on fiber Bragg gratings with high sensitivity is experimentally demonstrated. The differential pressure sensitivity of the sensor can reach to 821.87nm/MPa. This device can also be used for simultaneous measurement of temperature and differential pressure, which is suitable for applications involving measurement of liquid level, liquid density or specific gravity detection.
