Abstract

An all-fiber twist sensor based on multimode interferometer (MMI) has been proposed and fabricated by splicing both ends of a section of square no-core fiber (NCF) with a single mode fiber. We have investigated the transmission spectral characteristics of the square fiber under different applied twisting angles. Within a torsion angle range of -360°~360°, the wavelength and transmission sensitivities are 1.28615nm/(rad × m−1) and 0.11863%/ (rad × m−1), respectively. Moreover due to the trivial thermal expansion coefficient of pure silica fiber, the proposed twist sensor has a low temperature sensitivity, which is desirable to solve the temperature cross sensitivity.
