Abstract
En 中文
In this paper, a comprehensive investigation into the single-mode capability of curved sapphire fiber is performed, ranging from theoretical simulation to experimental verification. The equivalent refractive index theoretical model for curved sapphire fiber is proposed based on stress–optic effects and the conformal mapping technique. According to the finite element method, when the radius of curvature is 0.02 m, the curved losses’ difference between high-order modes and the fundamental mode is as high as five orders of magnitude, demonstrating the best single-mode potential. In addition, the curving experiments of sapphire fiber and sapphire fiber Bragg grating are completed. The transmission spectrum of the curved sapphire fiber with a curving radius of 0.02 m is the closest to that of the single-mode fiber. As for curved sapphire fiber Bragg grating (CSFBG), the 3 dB bandwidth of reflection spectrum with the same radius of curvature is also the smallest, with a value of 3.7 nm. Furthermore, the temperature performance of the proposed CSFBG is measured from 22 °C to 1600 °C. The sensitivity is 37.88 pm/°C (@1600 °C), and the measurement accuracy is ±2.98 °C. This study provides theoretical support for single-mode signal transmission of curved sapphire fibers and facilitates high-precision sensing applications under extreme high-temperature conditions.
