Performance analysis of a fiber Bragg grating filter-based strain/temperature sensing system based on a modified Gaussian function approximation method

This paper analyzes the performance of a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) filter-based strain and/or temperature sensing system based on a modified Gaussian function (MGF) approximation method. Instead of using a conventional Gaussian function, we propose the MGF, which can capture the characteristics of the sidelobes of the reflected spectrum, to model the FBG sensor and filter. We experimentally demonstrate that, by considering the contributions of the sidelobes with the MGF approximation method, behaviors of the FBG filter-based FBG displacement and/or temperature sensing system can be predicted more accurately. The predicted behaviors include the saturation, the sensitivity, the sensing range, and the optimal initial Bragg wavelengths of the FBG sensing system.     

Optomechanical transduction of an integrated silicon cantilever probe using a microdisk resonator

Sensitive transduction of the motion of a microscale cantilever is central to many applications in mass, force, magnetic resonance, and displacement sensing. Reducing cantilever size to nanoscale dimensions can improve the bandwidth and sensitivity of techniques like atomic force microscopy, but current optical transduction methods suffer when the cantilever is small compared to the achievable spot size. Here, we demonstrate sensitive optical transduction in a monolithic cavity-optomechanical system in which a subpicogram silicon cantilever with a sharp probe tip is separated from a microdisk optical resonator by a nanoscale gap. High quality factor (Q ≈ 10(5)) microdisk optical modes transduce the cantilever's megahertz frequency thermally driven vibrations with a displacement sensitivity of ≈4.4 × 10(-16) m/(Hz)(1/2) and bandwidth >1 GHz, and a dynamic range >10(6) is estimated for a 1 s measurement. Optically induced stiffening due to the strong optomechanical interaction is observed, and engineering of probe dynamics through cantilever design and electrostatic actuation is illustrated.     

Analytical and experimental studies on asymmetric bundle fiber displacement sensors

A fiber-optic displacement sensor (FODS) is theoretically and experimentally studied using an asymmetrical bundled fiber. The bundled fiber consists of two parallel fibers with different core radial ratios (CRRs) to achieve different sensitivity and dynamic range for displacement measurements. Both analytical modeling and experimental observations show that the linear range and sensitivity can be adjusted by controlling the CRR between transmitting and receiving fibers. This increases the flexibility of the sensor, which can be used for precise non-contact sensing applications.     

Fiber-Bragg-grating force sensor based on a wavelength-switching actively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser

A fiber-Bragg-grating (FBG) transverse-force sensor based on a wavelength-switching actively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser is proposed, in which a FBG is used as both the sensing element and the wavelength-selection element of the laser. When a force is applied to the FBG, the induced birefringence in the FBG causes the laser to emit pulses at two close wavelengths, whose separation is proportional to the applied force. To suppress the interference between the two wavelengths, the laser is made to emit at the two wavelengths alternately by use of a polarization-switching technique. The wavelength separation is converted into a time difference by transmission of the laser pulses through a dispersive single-mode fiber, so the wavelength measurement is replaced by the less-expensive time measurement. The output of the sensor is insensitive to temperature and axial strain changes along the FBG. To interrogate similar FBG sensing elements connected in series it is necessary only to change the modulating frequency of an electro-optic modulator to select the corresponding laser cavity. The practicability of this approach was demonstrated experimentally with two multiplexed sensing elements.     

Tracking control of a multilayer piezoelectric actuator using a fiber bragg grating displacement sensor system

This paper provides a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensor system which can measure the point-wise, out-of-plane displacement to examine the position-tracking control problem of a multilayer piezoelectric actuator (MPA). An FBG filter-based wavelength-optical intensity modulation technique is used in this study. A nominal system model is identified experimentally from the responses excited by random signals measured by an FBG displacement sensor that are simultaneously compared with those obtained from a laser Doppler vibrometer. To further investigate the sensing ability of the proposed system in a feedback control problem, control strategies including robust Hα control, proportional-integralderivative control, and pseudoderivative feedback control are implemented. The characteristics of the step responses for each controller are examined. The experimental results show that the proposed sensor system is capable of performing the system identification and can serve as a feedback control sensor which has a displacement sensitivity of 5 mV/nm.     

Fabrication of piezoelectric ceramic micro-actuator and its reliability for hard disk drives

A new U-type micro-actuator for precisely positioning a magnetic head in high-density hard disk drives was proposed and developed. The micro-actuator is composed of a U-type stainless steel substrate and two piezoelectric ceramic elements. Using a high-d31 piezoelectric coefficient PMN-PZT ceramic plate and adopting reactive ion etching process fabricate the piezoelectric elements. Reliability against temperature was investigated to ensure the practical application to the drive products. The U-type substrate attached to each side via piezoelectric elements also was simulated by the finite-element method and practically measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer in order to testify the driving mechanics of it. The micro-actuator coupled with two piezoelectric elements featured large displacement of 0.875 microm and high-resonance frequency over 22 kHz. The novel piezoelectric micro-actuators then possess a useful compromise performance to displacement, resonance frequency, and generative force. The results reveal that the new design concept provides a valuable alternative for multilayer piezoelectric micro-actuators.     

Design and analysis of an integrated optical sensor for scanning force microscopies

In this paper, a novel probe for displacement sensing will be introduced. It is based on a conventional GaAs cantilever, integrated with a Bragg grating as a photo-elastic strain sensor. The deflection of the cantilever is measured directly from the intensity modulation of the reflected light. The principle of the experimental setup and the sensor, as well as the theoretical investigation of the force and displacement sensitivity of the probe, is presented. Finite-element method simulations were performed to get the optimum sensor design. Transfer matrix method simulation of the waveguide grating have been described in detail. In order to enhance the sensitivity, different types of grating structures are discussed. Using this new design, it should be possible to achieve sensitivities, defined as the fractional change in detected optical power per unit displacement of the cantilever, as high as 10/sup -4/ /spl Aring//sup -1/ of cantilever deflection.     

Multiplexed Fiber-Optic Pressure and Temperature Sensor System for Down-Hole Measurement

A fiber Fabry–Perot (F-P) interferometer and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based pressure and temperature multiplexing sensor system is presented. This system is designed for high-temperature oil well down-hole permanent monitoring of pressure and temperature. Connecting a FBG temperature sensor and a F-P pressure sensor in series in the sensor head, the sensor system combines the advantages of simple structure of FBG for temperature sensing and high accuracy and low-temperature cross-sensitivity of F-P pressure sensor. Experimental results showed that the temperature measurement accuracy of 0.5$;^{circ}$C and the long-term drift of the air gap of the F-P pressure sensor at 300$;^{circ}$C is less than 0.1% within 300 h time span. This indicates that a long-term pressure measured accuracy of 0.03 MPa has been achieved in pressure gauge range of 0–30 MPa and in temperature variation range between 18 $;^{circ}$C to 300 $;^{circ}$C.
