    Area of Science:

    • Fiber optic sensing
    • Optical physics

    Background:

    • Two-mode optical fibers offer unique sensing capabilities.
    • Strain measurement in optical sensors often faces challenges with immunity to external factors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and demonstrate an interrupt-immune two-mode sensor.
    • To utilize the absolute variation of modulation depth in the cutoff transition region for strain sensing.

    Main Methods:

    • Concept development of a two-mode sensor.
    • Experimental demonstration utilizing the single-mode cutoff transition region.
    • Measurement of modulation depth variation as a function of strain.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a minimum resolution of 400 microstrain.
    • Demonstrated a resolution corresponding to an 83 pm wavelength shift.
    • Observed a 1.2-dB reduction in modulation depth for the achieved resolution.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed sensor concept is viable for interrupt-immune strain measurement.
    • The sensor's resolution is dependent on detection electronics and fiber characteristics.
    • Optimizing the fiber's cutoff transition curve can further enhance sensor resolution.
