摘要
A temperature and refractive index simultaneous measurement sensor based on an optical microfiber coupler (OMC) combined with a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The OMC-PMF sensor is fabricated by inserting a section of PMF between two output ports of the OMC. The interference spectrum of the OMC-PMF sensor has different responses to temperature and refractive index variations. Temperature and the refractive index can be measured by monitoring the dip intensity variation and the dip wavelength shift of the interference spectrum, respectively. The experimental results show that the refractive index sensitivity is 12 020 nm/RIU, and the temperature sensitivity is 0.88 dB/degrees C upon increasing temperature from 35 degrees C to 41 degrees C.
