AI Article Synopsis
- A new hybrid sensor using all-fiber Fabry-Pérot (F-P) and Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) designs is developed for accurate measurements of liquid refractive index (RI) without temperature interference.
- The sensor takes advantage of opposite wavelength shifts in the F-P and M-Z interference patterns in response to changes in RI, allowing for effective elimination of temperature cross-sensitivity.
- Experimentally, the sensor demonstrates a high RI sensitivity of 134.383 nm/RIU and maintains performance across a temperature range of ±21.74°C, while offering benefits like simple structure, easy integration, and low power loss.
Article Abstract
A temperature-insensitive all fiber Fabry-Pérot (F-P) and Mach-Zehnder (M-Z) hybrid compact structure and its sensing characteristics are proposed and theoretically and experimentally demonstrated. In one sensor, two kinds of sensing principles are existing, which is shown in the sensing process that with the increase in the refractive index (RI) of the liquid, the dip wavelengths coming from the F-P interference do red-drift, and the dips from the M-Z interference do blue-drift, respectively. Due to the opposite shift and almost the same temperature sensitivities, the dip difference between M-Z and F-P refractometers is used to eliminate temperature cross-sensitivity and improve the RI sensitivity of the sensor. In our experiments, the liquid RI sensitivity is 134.383 nm/RIU, and temperature cross-sensitivity is effectively eliminated within the ±21.74 °C change range at room temperature. This sensing structure also has advantages of simple structure, good integration, and low power loss.

Article Synopsis
- A fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based sensor has been developed for measuring curvature using specialty optical fibers with gratings inscribed via femtosecond laser technology.
- The sensor utilizes two different gratings located in asymmetrical positions (one in the central core and one in the eccentric core) to analyze bending characteristics, achieving a sensitivity of 58 pm/m-1 over a curvature range from 0 to 50 m-1.
- This design minimizes temperature and humidity effects by comparing peak shifts between the two gratings, making it robust and suitable for engineering applications in curvature sensing.

Single sensors have been developed for specific gas detection in real-time environments, but their selectivity is limited by interference from other gases when considering mixtures of gases. Consequently, accurate detection of target gases in mixed gas environments is essential. Therefore, this study develops a sensor array approach to quantitatively estimate the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO) gases in their binary mixture (CO and NO).

The fifth-order harmonic Bragg grating was inscribed by use of the conventional C-band phase masks and excimer laser but resonated in the visible spectrum. The visible window FBG can not only significantly improve the bandwidth of utilization, but also endow the sensor with visual perception.
