Design and Simulation of Temperature Sensor based on Long Period Grating in Liquid Filled Photonic Crystal Fiber
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, a high sensitivity temperature sensor based on photonic crystal fiber long period grating (PCF-LPG) filled with ethanol is proposed and simulated by full vector finite element method. The relationship between the resonant wavelength shift, and the temperature was analyzed. The results show that the resonant wavelength of the ethanol filled photonic crystal fiber long period grating is proportional linearly with temperature and the highest sensitivity of was achieved, which is 90 times higher than that of conventional LPG temperature sensors.
