Abstract

We propose a simple method to self-compensate temperature which can affect the sensitivity of palladium-based hydrogen gas sensor. When a long-period fiber grating is fabricated in a double cladding fiber, the fundamental core mode is coupled to the inner cladding mode as well as the outer cladding mode. Since the inner cladding mode is insensitive to the external contact, it is independent to the thin palladium layer coated out of cladding surface. Thus, the spectrum corresponding to outer cladding modes reflects the reaction between hydrogen and palladium while that of the inner cladding mode indicates the ambient temperature only.
