摘要
A fiber-optic 3D shape, position and temperature sensor is demonstrated with femtosecond laser direct-written optical and Bragg grating waveguides that were distributed axially and radially inside a single coreless optical fiber. Efficient light coupling between the laser-written optical circuit elements and a standard single-mode optical fiber was obtained by 3D laser writing of a 1 x 3 directional coupler and fusion splicing. Coupler optimization by real-time monitoring of Bragg grating strengths is discussed. Simultaneous interrogation of nine Bragg gratings is presented through a single waveguide port to follow the Bragg wavelength shifts and thereby infer shape and temperature profile along the fiber length.
