摘要:
An optical fiber sensor measuring refractive index of a medium with high sensitivity in a wide range. The optical fiber sensor includes an optical fiber causing a transmission loss due to leakage in the clad propagation mode from a portion of a core and a clad where a Bragg grating is provided, a light source permitting light in a wavelength band in the clad propagation mode to enter the optical fiber, and a light-receiving section receiving the transmitted or reflected light transmitted through the core and the clad at the portion where the Bragg grating is provided. The refractive index of the medium to be measured in contact with the clad is measured according to total intensity of the light received by the light-receiving section. The Bragg grating is inclined at a predetermined angle of inclination to the vertical line vertical to the length direction of the optical fiber.

An objective of the present invention is to provide an optical fiber sensor which has a simple configuration to enable sensitively measuring a refractive index of a measurement medium in a wide range of refractive indexes. An optical fiber sensor according to the present invention includes; an optical fiber having a core in which a short-period gratings are formed and a cladding, the optical fiber being made so that transmission loss occurs due to cladding-propagation-mode leakage at its cladding portion where the short-period gratings are formed; a light source from which light having a wavelength range of the cladding propagation mode is emitted; and a light receiving unit for receiving transmission or reflection light having passed through the cladding at the position where the short-period gratings are formed. The optical fiber sensor detects, based on the total receiving light intensity that the light receiving unit receives, the refractive index of the measurement medium contacting the cladding, in which the optical fiber is multi-mode one, and the short-period gratings have plural kinds of periods.
