Abstract

Temperature measurement is important in various applications; therefore, various temperature sensors have been developed. Due to its advantages, many optical fiber-based temperature sensors have been proposed. The wavelength modulation-based optical sensor is interesting due to high accuracy. However, the complex fabrication process and high cost limit the advantages of the sensors. Therefore, we proposed a simple and low-cost Mach Zehnder interferometer (MZI) sensor using step-index plastic optical fiber (SI-POF). Performance characterization of the sensor to temperature variation is presented. The sensor consists of two tapers at several distances, forming an interferometer. The first taper was designed to be steep to allow excitation of cladding modes, while the second taper was gradual to suppress power loss. Characterizations were done in terms of sensitivity, hysteresis, and repeatability by analyzing the output spectrums recorded by the spectrometer at various environment temperatures, 35oC to 85oC, with an increment of 10oC. The results showed that the sensor has a sensitivity of 0.0431 nm/oC and a correlation coefficient of 0.9965. Hysteresis of 6.9×10-3 was observed. In terms of repeatability, the sensor shows a maximum deviation, ±3oC, which was mainly resulted from the fluctuation of the oven temperature. Despite its high deviation, the sensor has advantages of simple fabrication, low cost, robust, and low power loss, which make it a good candidate for temperature sensors.

Abstract

Polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA)-based optical waveguide is a good candidate for a simple and low-cost waveguide. However, the thermal properties have not been investigated. In this work, thermal durability characterization of PMMA-based waveguide was carried out. Waveguide fabrication process was done in three stages, which are patterning the PMMA cladding, core material synthetization and core material application to the cladding. Core pattern with cross section area of 1×1 mm2 was engraved on the 4 cm long PMMA sheet. Unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) was used as a core material. Characterizations were conducted for temperature dependent loss (TDL), temperature working range, and long exposure durability. For TDL characterization, the temperature varied from 30°C to 75°C. Meanwhile, for temperature working range, the waveguide was exposed to cycled heating. The thermal durability characterization was done by immersing the waveguide in distilled water at temperature of 40 °C for 288 hours. The results showed that a little change of output intensity occurred due to temperature variation with TDL of 0.0235 dB/°C. The maximum limit of the temperature is 70°C. For long exposure to temperature of 40oC, the results showed that the waveguide has a good performance.
