Cross-sensitivity effect in temperature-compensated sensors based on highly birefringent fibers
Abstract:
We analyzed the influence of the measurand-temperature cross-sensitivity effect on temperature stability in fiber-optic cross-spliced sensors that employ highly birefringent fibers. We show that the ratio of the measurand-temperature cross-sensitivity coefficient to the measurand first-order sensitivity determines the physical limit for temperature stability in cross-spliced sensors. Employing polarimetric as well as white-light interferometric methods, we experimentally determine a hydrostatic pressure-temperature cross-sensitivity coefficient in York bow-tie 800 fiber. From this we estimate the achievable limit for temperature stability of cross-spliced pressure sensors under environmental temperature changes.
