Abstract

The polarimetric sensing characteristics of multi-mode-fiber based tilted fiber Bragg gratings (MMF-TFBG) have been analyzed and experimentally demonstrated. The larger diameter fiber core and graded index core/cladding profile enable the tilted gratings to excite multiple high-order core modes with significantly different polarization dependence and to form a well-defined “comb” of spectrally separated resonances at different wavelengths. Orientation-recognized twist/rotation measurements (−90° to 90°) have been achieved with sensitivity of 0.075 dB/deg by using intensity monitoring of two orthogonally polarized odd core-modes (LP11 and LP12). The proposed sensor is compact, works in reflection (a short section of MMF-TFBG spliced with a leading-in single mode fiber without any offset or tapering), is insensitive to temperature (intensity detection instead of wavelength monitoring) and is immune to unwanted intensity fluctuations (differential intensity measurement). Other TFBG sensing modalities, such as lateral pressure and surrounding refractive index are demonstrated separately with the same device configuration and interrogation principles.

Fig. 1 Comparison between SMF-TFBG and MMF-TFBG: (I) schematic diagram of SMF-TFBG (Δ = 0.36% step index profile with core/cladding diameters of 9/125 μm, tilted angle 4°) and (II) MMF-TFBG (Δ = 2% graded index profile with core/cladding diameters of 62.5/125 μm, tilted angle 4°); (a) experimental transmission spectra of 4° SMF-TFBG (with single core mode and strong claddings modes) and (b) 4° MMF-TFBG (with multiple core modes and weak cladding modes); (c) simulation spectra of ghost modes and core mode of SMF-TFBG with component azimuthal mode families LP0m and LP1n and that of (d) multiple core modes of MMF-TFBG, insets show the transverse electric field amplitude distributions of each mode.
