Temperature sensing utilizing unclad plastic optical fiber with a balloon-like bent structure
A plastic optical fiber (POF) temperature sensor with high sensitivity is experimentally demonstrated in this work. The temperature sensor is realized by a combination of macrobending and an unclad region in the fabrication of its sensor head. The POF sensor is bent into a balloon-like structure in...

| description | A plastic optical fiber (POF) temperature sensor with high sensitivity is experimentally demonstrated in this work. The temperature sensor is realized by a combination of macrobending and an unclad region in the fabrication of its sensor head. The POF sensor is bent into a balloon-like structure in order to introduce the effect of macrobending. For the optimization of the sensor performance, the bending radius of the balloon-like structure is varied. Experimental results suggest that the performance is optimized when the bending radius is fixed at 55 mm.With this amount of bending radius, temperature sensitivity of up to 22.2x10-3°C-1 can be achieved in the range from 40°C to 80°C, with linearity of 0.99 and resolution of 0.45°C. This technique is found to improve the POF temperature sensitivity in comparison to previous developments. |
