Strain and temperature sensing based on multimodal interference in optical fibers has recently been gathering tremendous attention. One of its simple and cost-efficient implementations is based on what we call a single-mode-multimode-single-mode (SMS) structure, where a multimode fiber (MMF) is sandwiched by two single-mode fibers (SMFs). It is, however, difficult to control the length of an active area (i.e., a fiber section with strain/temperature sensitivity) in SMS-based sensors, because the MMF length cannot be changed. To solve this problem and widen the application field, in this work, we develop a new configuration of a modal-interference-based temperature sensor by connecting two SMFs with different cut-off wavelengths and by applying a load to one of the SMFs. The fiber section between the connector and the load operates as the active area, which is dynamically controllable by changing the load position. First, we observe a transmitted light spectrum and verify the appearance of spectral patterns unique to modal interference. Subsequently, we investigate the dependence of the wavelength interval (of the interference patters) on the active area length. The interval is shown to be inversely proportional to the active length, proving the operating principle of this sensor. Finally, we investigate the temperature dependence of the interference patterns (when the active length is 0.3 m) and show that this scheme is potentially applicable to temperature sensing. |
