我们设计，制造和表征了两个双折射微结构光纤，其特征在于与早期报道的微结构光纤的值相比，对静水压力的偏振灵敏度增加了5倍。我们证明了一个很好的协议之间的有限元模拟和实验值的极化敏感性的压力和温度。两种纤维对静水压力的敏感性均为负符号，在1.55 μ m处均超过-43rad/MPa x m。结合对温度非常低的敏感性，这使得我们的光纤成为开发基于微结构光纤的静水压力测量系统的首选。(C)2010年美国光学学会
We designed, manufactured and characterized two birefringent microstructured fibers that feature a 5-fold increase in polarimetric sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure compared to the earlier reported values for microstructured fibers. We demonstrate a good agreement between the finite element simulations and the experimental values for the polarimetric sensitivity to pressure and to temperature. The sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure has a negative sign and exceeds -43 rad/MPa x m at 1.55 mu m for both fibers. In combination with the very low sensitivity to temperature, this makes our fibers the candidates of choice for the development of microstructured fiber based hydrostatic pressure measurement systems.
