摘要

摘要:
为研制高灵敏海水盐度传感器，本文基于CO₂激光技术成功制备出一种工作在色散转折点（DTP）附近的长周期光纤光栅（LPFG）。首先，利用CO₂激光器在80 μm细单模光纤上制备出工作在DTP附近的LPFG，证明了采用CO₂激光微加工技术制备较短周期LPFG的可能性。其次，通过调控CO₂激光器的制备周期，使高阶包层模式LP_1,9工作在DTP附近，从而显著提高了LPFG的折射率灵敏度。在双峰谐振增敏效应的作用下，当海水盐度从5.001‰变化到39.996‰时，光栅周期为115.4 μm的双峰谐振LPFG平均灵敏度高达0.279 nm/‰。研究结果表明，本文制备的LPFG海水盐度传感器具有谐振损耗大和灵敏度高的优点，其在海水盐度监测领域具有较好的应用前景。

Abstract:
To develop a highly sensitive seawater salinity sensor, a long period fiber grating (LPFG) was successfully fabricated using CO₂ laser technology to function in close proximity to the dispersion turning point (DTP). An LPFG operating near DTP was fabricated in an 80 μm single mode fiber using CO₂ laser micromachining technology. This successful endeavor demonstrates the feasibility of developing LPFG with shorter grating period using CO₂ laser micromaching technology. LPFGs with varying periods were fabricated by adjusting the preparation period of CO₂ laser to ensure that the cladding mode LP_1,9 was operating near DTP, resulting in higher refractive index sensitivity of LPFG. The average sensitivity of 0.279 nm/‰ can be achieved in the seawater with salinity ranging from 5.001‰ to 39.996‰, especially with the dual peaks resonance LPFG at a period of 115.4 μm, thanks to the dual peaks resonance effect. The dual peaks resonance LPFG seawater salinity sensor exhibits high sensitivity and a large attenuation loss, suggesting potential application in seawater salinity monitoring.
