Mach-Zehneder interference all-fiber sensor for measurement of magnetic field and temperature
A Mach-Zehnder interferometer all-fiber sensor for magnetic field and temperature measurement was proposed and experimentally demonstrated for a simplified sensor with improved sensitivity. It combined a Mach-Zehnder modal interferometer and two arms Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A single mode fiber of 1.2 m in length was partly processed into a taper-structured microfiber of 2.7 cm length and a 30.1 μm diameter taper waist. The relationship between the tapering time and the taper waist was investigated. The tapered fiber was placed into a nylon slot and was coated using magnetic sol-gel to fabricate the sensor head. The Mach-Zehnder modal interferometer magnetic field sensor was then complete. The other single mode fiber with a tunable optical attenuator was employed to form the Mach-Zehnder interferometer temperature sensor via two couplers with coupling ratio 50:50. The characteristic relationship between the spectra drift
and the magnetic field/temperature sensing was analyzed theoretically. Experiment results show that the sensitivity of the magnetic field sensor is 0.301 14 nm/mT when the magnetic field intensity ranged from 25 mT to 50 mT at room temperature. The temperature sensor had a sensitivity of 0.518 86 nm/℃ in the range of 25℃ to 30℃ without an applied magnetic field. This sensor has potential applications in numerous areas
including discharge detection systems
material processing
and safety monitoring
etc.
