Abstract
Vibration monitoring is crucial in many fields such as seismic detection, oil and gas exploration and structural health monitoring. Here, we present a novel directional accelerometer using a highly localized fiber Bragg grating (FBG) fabricated by a beam-shaping femtosecond (fs) laser point-by-point (PbP) technology. The FBG was inscribed with asymmetric refractive index modulations (RIMs) in the fiber core of a single-mode fiber (SMF), ensuring directional coupling of cladding mode resonances and thus providing a sensing mechanism for directional vibration response. A reflective accelerometer was achieved by sputtering a nano-gold reflector on the fiber end of the FBG. The acceleration sensitivity and directional dependence of the accelerometer were experimentally investigated, which exhibited an excellent directional vibration response with a maximum acceleration sensitivity of 0.113 V/g at high temperature of 450 ℃. Notably, the core mode resonance of the FBG can be used to calibrate the power fluctuations and cancel out the temperature crosstalk. The proposed directional accelerometer is compact, flexible, and high-temperature-resistant, which exhibits promising potential for structures vibration monitoring in harsh environments.
