In this paper we propose and investigate a novel magnetic field sensor based of a ring erbium-doped fiber laser combined with a fiber Bragg grating and a Sagnac loop containing a microfiber coupler and magnetic fluid. In addition to the magnetic field sensing capability, the proposed structure can simultaneously provide temperature information. Thanks to the dual-ring structure of the MFC-Sagnac loop...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to measurements of low relative humidity (RH) levels based on the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) phenomenon in a silica microsphere resonator coated with Agarose. The spectral dips of the WGM resonances excited in the proposed sensor depend strongly on the changes in the refractive index (RI) of the coating material as well as the surrounding RI. A study...
A simple volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor based on a tapered small core singlemode fiber (SCSMF) structure is reported. The tapered SCSMF fiber structure with a waist diameter of 7.0 μm is fabricated using a customized microheater brushing technique. Silica based material containing immobilized Nile red was prepared by a sol-gel method and was used as a coating applied to the surface of the...
A high sensitivity ammonia gas sensor based on a tapered small core single-mode fiber (SCSMF) structure for measurement of ammonia gas concentration is reported. The proposed tapered SCSMF fiber structure has a waist diameter of 13.5 µm and it is fabricated using a customized microheater brushing technique. The silica based material prepared by sol-gel method is used as a coating applied to the surface...
We investigated the excitation of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in a silica microsphere by evanescent field coupling method using a ∼2 micrometer diameter fiber taper. Based on this configuration we have developed a sensitive refractometric sensor and observed a red-shift of the WGM resonances with the increase of the surrounding medium refractive index. A sensitivity of ∼114 nanometer per RIU has...
We demonstrate and explain the existence of a critical wavelength in the transmission spectrum of single-multi-singlemode fiber structures, employing GeO2-doped multimode fibers (MMFs), such that the spectrum shows opposite spectral shift on either side of this wavelength with increasing temperature. Further, the shift is maximum for peaks/dips nearest to this wavelength. The variation of critical...
