Fiber quarter-wave plates and magneto-optical fibers are important components that greatly affect the sensitivity of fiber-optic current sensors. A Tb:YAG crystal-derived silica fiber (TYDSF) was fabricated using a CO2 laser-heating drawing technique. The linear birefringence of TYDSF was measured as 6.661×10-6 by a microscope birefringence measurement instrument. A fiber quarter-wave plate was fabricated by TYDSF at 1310 nm, which produced circularly polarized light with a polarization extinction ratio of 0.34 dB. Additionally, the linear birefringence of TYDSF was decreased by 22% by annealing at 750°C for 7 h, and the Verdet constants of annealed TYDSF were measured to be 9.83, 6.67, and 3.48rad/(T·m) at 808, 980, and 1310 nm, respectively.

Optical fiber microresonators have attracted considerable interest for acoustic detection because of their compact size and high optical quality. Here, we have proposed, designed, and fabricated a spring-based Fabry–Pérot cavity microresonator for highly sensitive acoustic detection. We observed two resonator vibration modes: one relating to the spring vibration state and the other determined by the point-clamped circular plate vibration mode. We found that the vibration modes can be coupled and optimized by changing the structure size. The proposed resonator is directly 3D printed on an optical fiber tip through two-photon polymerization and is used for acoustic detection and imaging. The experiments show that the device exhibits a high sensitivity and low noise equivalent acoustic signal level of 2.39mPa/Hz1/2 at 75 kHz that can detect weak acoustic waves, which can be used for underwater object imaging. The results demonstrate that the proposed work has great potential in acoustic detection and biomedical imaging applications.

为实现大气污染物中氨气（NH₃）的快速、准确测量，本文提出了一种基于氧化锌（ZnO）涂层单模-无芯-单模（SNS）光纤结构的高灵敏度NH₃传感器。该传感器利用的是ZnO膜层吸附NH₃后自身折射率改变，进而导致无芯光纤干涉谱谐振波长发生变化的特性。通过建立NH₃体积分数与谐振波长偏移量的关系，最终实现了NH₃体积分数的测量。本文基于模式传输理论对ZnO涂层SNS传感器的光谱特性进行了仿真，仿真结果显示：当ZnO膜层的折射率从1.929变化至1.889时，60 nm和130 nm ZnO膜厚下SNS传感器的灵敏度分别为11.8 nm/RIU和28.6 nm/RIU。制备了ZnO膜厚分别为60 nm和130 nm的SNS传感器，其在NH₃体积分数为0~42.0×10^-6环境下的灵敏度相差不大，这主要是由ZnO对NH₃的吸附饱和引起的。进一步分析获得60 nm ZnO膜厚下SNS传感器的平均灵敏度为16.87×10⁶ pm，检测限为6.6×10^-6，响应时间和恢复时间分别为70 s和90 s。随着温度由16.5 ℃升至56 ℃，该传感器对NH₃的检测灵敏度从17.96×10⁶ pm降低至7.57×10⁶ pm，温度和时间对检测限的影响分别为0.0237×10^-6 ℃^-1和0.026×10^-6 d^-1，该传感器具有较好的稳定性。

为了解决随机线性双折射对光纤磁光特性测量的影响，采用旋转光纤（SF）结合法拉第旋转镜（FRM）的测量方法，研究了FRM对旋转光纤磁光特性测量的影响。首先，从理论方面研究旋转光纤与FRM的引入如何减小光纤中的随机线性双折射对磁光特性测量的影响，并搭建基于FRM的旋转光纤磁光特性测试系统。当光源波长为1310 nm时，FRM作用前的旋转光纤费尔德常数都比未旋转光纤的大，且旋转光纤的节距越短，费尔德常数越大。特别是旋转光纤的节距为1.0 mm时，其费尔德常数为0.8304 rad/（T·m），比未旋转光纤的费尔德常数［0.8029 rad/（T·m）］增大了约3.43%。当测试系统加入FRM后，不同光纤的费尔德常数测量值相较于未使用FRM的光纤费尔德常数测量值都有一定幅度的增大，尤其相比于节距为1.0 mm时的旋转光纤更进一步提高了7.50%，并且在FRM作用前后不同光纤费尔德常数测量值的均方差分别为0.99%和0.61%，说明FRM的引入提高了掺杂光纤费尔德常数的测量精度与稳定性。

We fabricate a high-performance Bi/Er/La co-doped silica fiber with a fluorescence intensity of -33.8dBm and a gain coefficient of 1.9 dB/m. With the utilization of the fiber as a gain medium, a linear-cavity fiber laser has been constructed, which exhibits a signal-to-noise ratio of 74.9 dB at 1596 nm. It has been demonstrated that the fiber laser has a maximum output power of 107.4 mW, a slope efficiency of up to 17.0%, and a linewidth of less than 0.02 nm. Moreover, an all-fiber single-stage optical amplifier is built up for laser amplification, by which the amplified laser power is up to 410.0 mW with pump efficiency of 33.8%. The results indicate that the laser is capable of high signal-to-noise ratio and narrow linewidth, with potential applications for optical fiber sensing, biomedicine, precision measurement, and the pump source of the mid-infrared fiber lasers.

Optofluidic resonators are capable of characterizing various fluidic media. Here, we propose an optofluidic microbottle resonator (OFMBR) that is applied to generate pendant droplets, whose maximum mass is related to the liquid surface tension. Mass and type of droplets forming along the OFMBR stem can be monitored in real time by spectrum variation. As a pendant droplet grows, increased droplet gravity introduces a decreased coupling gap and compressive force between the tapered fiber and OFMBR, leading to a resonance wavelength shift. The operation mechanism of the proposed sensors is validated by theoretical simulation and experimental results. From the experimental spectra, a liquid mass sensor with maximum sensitivity of -3.34pm/mg is obtained, and distilled water and alcohol can be identified. This scheme provides a new thread for droplet generation as well as fluidic properties characterization.
