Abstract

Polarization-maintaining few-mode fibers (PM-FMFs) have found applications in sensors with attractive features that traditional single-mode fibers do not possess. We propose a measurement method for multi-parameter sensing based on PM-FMFs. This method is mainly based on the polarized interference effect of PM-FMF. We experimentally demonstrate the principle of the simultaneous sensing of temperature, strain and transverse force. The sensor has been verified by three groups of multi-parameter measurement experiments showing that the changes of multi-parameter derived from the wavelength shift of the polarized interference spectrum are consistent with the multi-parameter changes set in the experiments. The proposed PM-FMF based sensor has a temperature sensitivity of 0.3 nm/°C, a strain sensitivity of 0.01 nm/µε and a transverse force sensitivity of 0.0065 nm/(N/m).
