With the improvement of the market's requirements on the color rendering of high-voltage LED light sources, accurately predicting the junction temperature of high-voltage LED, preventing led aging and extending the service life have become a topic worth studying. In this paper, the relationship between the junction temperature and the chromaticity parameters, and the relationship between the chromaticity parameters and the driving current are respectively studied for the blue excited yellow phosphor type high-voltage white LED. Finally, the functional relationship among the junction temperature, the chromaticity parameters and the driving current is established. To further accurately predict the junction temperature of the high-voltage LED. Subtracting the color fidelity Rf and color gamut Rg of the initial state from the color fidelity and color gamut at the measurement temperature to obtain the relative chromaticity parameters ∆Rf, ∆Rg can eliminate the self heating effect of the current; subtracting the initial temperature Tj from the measured temperature to obtain the relative junction temperature ∆Tj can eliminate the temperature deviations introduced by the high temperature chamber. The functional relationship among the relative junction temperature ∆Tj and the relative chromaticity parameters ∆Rf, ∆Rg fitting curve are obtained. For 12V and 6V high-voltage LEDs with the same power, the linearities of the fitting functions of ∆Tj-∆Rf and ∆Tj− ∆Rg are close to one. Compared with the results measured by T3ster, the maximum errors of junction temperature prediction based on color fidelity and color gamut are 3.33% and 4.24% respectively, which are within the acceptable range. It shows that these methods are entirely feasible and has particular practical value.
An in-line Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based on no-core fiber (NCF) with lateral offset for concentration sensing is presented and demonstrated. The in-line MZI is formed by splicing a section of NCF between two single-mode fibers (SMFs) with a lateral offset. The theoretical and simulation analysis results indicate that the interference dip originates from the mode coupling between the high-order mode LP01 and the high-order mode LP26. In the concentration ranges of 0% to 37%, 37% to 66%, and 66% to 82%, the glycerol concentration sensitivities are 0.166, 0.378, and 1.44 nm/%, respectively. The temperature sensitivity is 0.081 nm / ° C from 30°C to 80°C. Our sensor has the advantages such as ease of fabrication, high glycerol concentration sensitivity, and great stability, providing a practical and competitive solution for chemical sensing and food processing.
A stable multiwavelength erbium-doped fiber laser has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on black phosphorus quantum dots (BPQDs) packaged by polytetrafluoroethylene. The laser mainly consists of a polytetrafluoroethylene packaging device of black phosphorus quantum dots (PTFEPD-BPQDs) and a Lyot filter. PTFEPD-BPQDs have the function of suppressing the mode competition and stabilizing the multiwavelength output. In the experiments, for the unpackaged BPQDs device, BPQDs will degrade and lose its function within 48 h, whereas for the PTFEPD-BPQDs, BPQDs can keep their function for more than 3 weeks. Fifteen stable multiwavelength lasing signals (MWLSs) with the wavelength space of 0.35 nm are achieved. A 10-min optically driven deposition is more conducive to the stable output of MWLSs. The wavelength offset and peak power fluctuation of the output spectrum at central wavelength are 0.1 nm and 0.9 dB, respectively.
An optical fiber sensor for simultaneous measurement of refractive index (RI) and temperature is achieved by using an optical fiber Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with two core-offset trapezoid cone structures, in which part of the core mode light will be coupled into cladding modes when passing through the first trapezoid cone and the two parts of light will combine in the second one and interfere with each other over there. The transmission spectrum would vary with the RI and the temperature. The experimental data show that the RI sensitivities of the two interference valleys are −35.93 and −51.14 nm / RIU, respectively. The temperature sensitivities of them are 0.05 and 0.04 nm / ° C, respectively. Therefore, it can be realized to gauge the RI and the temperature simultaneously. The proposed sensor can also be applied to chemistry and biology which has broad application prospects.
A new Mach-Zehnder interferometer sensor , which can simultaneously gauge refractive index (RI) and temperature, is realized.

The RI sensitivities of the two interference valleys are -51.2nm/RIU and -36.5nm/RIU. The temperature sensitivities of them are 0.063nm/°C and 0.064nm/°C. Therefore it can be realized to gauge the RI and the temperature simultaneously. The proposed sensor can also be applied to chemistry and biology, it has broad application prospects.
According to the theory of inter-mode interference, an interferometer based on cascaded core-offset structure with thincore fiber (TCF) is researched. The core-offset structure acts as a coupler, allowing energy to enter the cladding of the fiber, thereby exciting the cladding modes. The interference occurs twice in the proposed interferometer. The first time occurs at the joint of the single-mode fiber (SMF) 2 and TCF, and the second time occurs at the joint of the TCF and the SMF3. Both the temperature and refractive index (RI) sensing experiment are conducted. The maximum temperature and RI sensitivity are -161nm/RIU and 0.069nm/°C, respectively. The studied sensors have good characteristics such as simple manufacturing, low cost and high mechanical strength. So the sensor has the potential to be applied in practice.
A continuously tunable microwave photonic filter (MPF) with a multiwavelength optical source is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed MPF is based on a broadband optical source (BOS) and a waveshaper, which serves as a programmable slicing optical filter. By programming the waveshaper, a 50-channel stable and flat optical source is realized experimentally. The amplitude and phase of the optical carriers and phase modulation sidebands are then controlled via a Fourier-domain optical processor (FD-OP); phase modulation is changed to single sideband modulation. This filter could also be switched from bandpass to notch filter by controlling FD-OP. As simulation results, the center frequency of the bandpass filter is tuned continuously from 0 to 37.244 GHz in the entire free spectral range (FSR) and this notch filter based on 50 taps has the ability of realizing a narrow-notch, flat-passband, and large FSR response.
A dual-parameter optical fiber sensor, which is fabricated by sandwiching a segment of few-mode fiber (FMF) with two down-tapers between two segments of standard single-mode fibers (SMFs), is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The two down-tapers on the FMF can enhance the evanescent field, making the sensor more sensitive to changes in the external environment. The refractive index (RI) and temperature are measured simultaneously using the different sensitivities of the two dips in this experimental interference spectrum. The measured temperature sensitivities are 0.097 and 0.114 nm/°C, and the RI sensitivities are −97.43 and −108.07 nm/RIU, respectively. Meanwhile, the simple SMF-FMF-SMF structure is also measured. By comparing the experimental results of the two structures, the sensitivities of the proposed structure based on the dual-taper FMF are significantly improved. In addition, the sensor is easy to fabricate and cost effective.
A microwave photonic filter (MPF) based on four-wave mixing (FWM) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Two single-frequency laser beams produce the four-wave-mixing effect in a highly nonlinear fiber and generate a multiwavelength optical signal output. The multiwavelength optical signal is used to generate the multitaps of the MPF. The wavelength spacing of the multiwavelength optical source is equal to the frequency difference of the two input laser beams. By changing the frequency difference of the two input laser beams, wavelength spacing of the multiwavelength optical source output can be continuously tuned in the range of 0.36 to 1.6 nm. Thus the center frequency of the filter can be continuously tuned within the range of 6.914 to 30.729 GHz.
An optical fiber magnetic field sensor using intermodal interferometer coated by magnetic fluid (MF) is proposed. The interferometer consists of down-taper and spherical structure formed on the standard single-mode fiber (SMF) by a fusion splicer. Since the refractive index (RI) of the MF is sensitive to external magnetic field, the interferometer coated by MF can be used for magnetic field sensing. Two interference valleys of the interferometer integrated with ferrofluid under different magnetic field intensities have been experimentally analyzed. The experimental results show that there is a linear relationship between the valley wavelength shift and magnetic field intensity for a range of 0 to 20 mT, and the maximum sensitivity reaches up to −0.195 nm/mT. In the range of 0 to 12 mT, the variation of transmission loss at valley wavelength with a magnetic field has a maximum sensitivity of 0.106 dB/mT.
An all-fiber sensor for simultaneous measurement of temperature and microdisplacement is presented and demonstrated. The sensor head is fabricated by a peanut structure Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) cascaded with a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). Experimental results show that the temperature sensitivities of the MZI (dip1) and the FBG (dipFBG) are 0.0909 and 0.0121 nm/°C, respectively. The microdisplacement sensitivities are −0.0233 and 0.0122 nm/μm, respectively. The simultaneous measurement of the temperature and microdisplacement is demonstrated based on the sensitive matrix. With the advantages of low cost and easy fabrication, this sensor has potential applications in security, construction, and energy.
A dual-parameter optical fiber sensor is proposed and demonstrated. It is based on an intermodal interferometer (IMI) with an inline embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The IMI is formed by cascading a taper structure and a spherical-shaped structure through a segment of a single-mode fiber. Due to the different wavelength shifts of the IMI and FBG to temperature and liquid level, simultaneous measurement can be achieved. Experimental results indicate a good linear relation between the wavelength shift and external parameters (temperature and liquid level). The sensitivities of 0.066 nm/°C and −0.133 nm/mm are achieved experimentally for temperature and liquid level, respectively. The interesting properties of the sensor include good operation linearity, compact size, and high sensitivity.
The temporal characteristics of a fiber ring laser are reported. The laser has a simple configuration, which contains
an Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), a polarization controller (PC) and a coupler. The EDFA has a high saturation
power of 27dBm to provide the gain in the cavity. The PC is used to control the polarization state of light. A 99/1
coupler is used to extract the laser output. There is no filter in the cavity to confine the spectrum of the laser. The simple
laser configuration can operate in different temporal modes with different pump power. In the self mode locking state,
the repetition rate is equal to the inverse of the round trip time of the cavity. The repetition rate of the laser can be
increased by increasing the pump power of the EDFA. This self mode locking phenomena is due to the homogeneous
gain medium in the cavity, rather than the nonlinear effect in the cavity. The nonlinear effect can suppress the self mode
locking phenomena by inserting a short length highly nonlinear fiber in the laser cavity.
