Sagnac Interferometric Temperature Sensor Based on Boron-Doped Polarization-Maintaining Photonic Crystal Fibers
A sensitive temperature sensor was demonstrated using boron-doped polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF) as a Sagnac interferometer (SI). This boron-doped PM-PCF combines both the geometric birefringence introduced by the PCF structure design and the stress birefringence introduced...

| description | A sensitive temperature sensor was demonstrated using boron-doped polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF) as a Sagnac interferometer (SI). This boron-doped PM-PCF combines both the geometric birefringence introduced by the PCF structure design and the stress birefringence introduced by the boron-doped stress-applying parts. However, we found that the stress birefringence dominates the total birefringence of the sensor by numerical analysis. In the experiments, the fabricated sensor exhibited the highest temperature sensitivity of −1.83 nm/°C within the wide temperature range of 28~76 °C. The temperature sensitivity was mainly derived from the stress birefringence of boron-doped PM-PCF SI. These findings provide some support for the designation of high-precision temperature sensors. |
