Combined Transmission Interference Spectrum of No Core Fiber and BP Neural Network for Concentration Sensing Research

To investigate wavelength response of the no core fiber(NCF)interference spectrum to concentration, a three-layer back propagation(BP) neural network model was established to optimize the concentration sensing data. In this method,the measured wavelength and the corresponding concentration were trained by a BP neural network, so that the accuracy of the measurement system was optimized. The wavelength was used as the training set and got into the input layer of the three layer BP network model which is used as the input value of the network, and the corresponding actual concentration value was used as the output value of the network, and the optimal network structure was trained. This paper discovers a preferable correlation between the predicted value and the actual value, where the former is approximately equal to the latter. The correlation coefficients of the measured and predicted values for a sucrose concentration were 1.000 89 and 1.003 94; similarly, correlations of 0.999 51 and 1.018 8 for a glucose concentration were observed. The results demonstrate that the BP neural network can improve the prediction accuracy of the nonlinear relationship between the interference spectral data and the concentration in NCF sensing systems.
