Simultaneous Measurement of Torsion and Temperature Based on π-Phase-Shifted Long-Period Fiber Grating Inscribed on Double-Clad Fiber.

In this work, we experimentally demonstrated an optical fiber sensor capable of performing simultaneous measurement of torsion and temperature using a π-phase-shifted long-period fiber grating (LPFG) inscribed on double-clad fiber (DCF), referred to as a PS-DC-LPFG. The fabricated PSDC- LPFG showed split attenuation bands near its resonance wavelength, and the two dips in these bands were selected as sensor indicators, denoted as Dips A and B, for the simultaneous measurement of torsion and temperature. The torsion and temperature responses of the two indicators were investigated in a twist angle range from -360° to 360° and a temperature range from 30 to 120 °C, respectively. When the twist angle increased from 0° to 360° (clockwise) at room temperature, both Dips A and B showed redshifts. On the contrary, when the twist angle decreased from 0° to -360° (counterclockwise), the two dips showed blueshifts. In terms of temperature responses, both dips showed redshifts with increasing ambient temperature while the sensor head (i.e., the PS-DC-LPFG) remained straight without any applied torsion. Owing to their linear and independent responses to torsion and temperature, the changes in torsion and temperature applied to the PSDC- LPFG could be simultaneously estimated from the measured wavelength shifts and calculated sensitivities of the two indicator dips.
