摘要
Using numerical simulations, we investigated the responses of the pi-phase-shifted fiber Bragg gratings (pi FBGs) impinged by pressure ultrasonic waves. The effect of the grating length, grating refractive index modification depth, and ultrasonic frequency on the wavelength sensitivity and intensity sensitivity of the pi FBG ultrasonic sensor for ultrasonic waves of different wavelengths was analyzed. The directivity of a pi FBG sensor was also studied. Our analysis revealed several unique pi FBG response characteristics and will be useful in the design and optimization of fiber-optic ultrasonic sensors that use a pi FBG as the sensing element.
