Abstract:
This study includes two main parts to design and study uniform and apodized fiber Bragg grating. The first part include simulation method by using optigrating 4.2 software in order to get the transmission and reflection spectrum for the FBG, also to give high accurate for analysis the characteristics of the FBG. The work of the software based on coupled mode theory which used the T - Matrix to solve its equations.The simulation study includes designed a uniform and Apodized fiber Bragg grating and studying the effect of increasing grating length on the reflectivity for them. The results show that, increasing grating length for uniform FBG for (L= 05 - - - 40mm) causes to increase the reflectivity to (99.99%) at (L=28mm), but increase in the reflectivity of side lobes which can reduce it by using apodization method in order to reduce the refractive index change towards the ends of the grating. After that, if the length is increased further, it is observed that the maximum reflectivity maintains the same value of (99.99%). The results for the effect of increasing grating length on the bandwidth show that, the value of the bandwidth decreased until achieved (0.01062nm) at grating length 28mm, then stay at this value for longer length.The simulation results for the Apodized FBG show the same behavior as the results of the uniform FBG but without side lobes. The effect of the increasing index modulation on the reflection spectrum was studied for the uniform FBG, from the results we observed that increasing in index modulation causes increasing in the reflectivity, where at the weak grating (1*10 - 4), the reflectivity was low and at the strong grating (4*10 - 4), the reflectivity was high.IIIIn addition, the study includes designing a sensor for a temperature and strain for uniform and apodized FBG. A uniform single temperature sensor is designed at grating length 10mm, the simulation result shows that, the center wavelength shifts with increasing temperature for (25 - 80˚C). The calculated temperature sensitivity for this sensor is (13.8 pm/˚C), Depending on the results we calculate the estimated temperature accuracy which is (± 0.33˚C).Again we design a sensor for the temperature but for array sensor, the results show that, the array sensor will not reflect Bragg wavelength at the same time when the temperature increasing because we take different value of grating period for each fiber in the array sensor. The temperature sensitivity for this sensor is (mean 13.76pm/˚C), and the estimated temperature accuracy is (mean ± 0.73˚C). From the comparison between the single and array sensors, we find that, the single FBG sensor system is more accurate compare to the array sensor, but in term of advantage FBG sensor array system have more advantage compare to the single FBG sensor.The simulation study for apodized FBG temperature sensor gives the same behavior as the uniform single FBG sensor but without side lobes. The results show that, there is no effect of increasing temperature on the bandwidth for the sensor. The strain sensor is designed for the uniform FBG at length 10mm; the results show that, increasing Bragg wavelength for applied strain for (200 - 2600με).The second part for the study includes designing and studying a temperature sensor by using experimental method. The experimental results show that, the reflection and transmission spectrum is at (1553.764nm) and increasing with increasing temperature from 25˚C to 80˚C. The measured temperature sensitivity for the sensor is (13.7 pm/˚C), while the theoretical is (14.2 pm/˚C). The estimated temperature accuracy for the sensor is calculated and is (± 0.32˚C).
