Abstract

Dynamic response characteristics of silica fiber long-period grating with a modified cladding, composed of ∼10-100 nm nanoparticle palladium oxides thin film material prepared by a magnetron sputtering technique, have been investigated at several elevated temperatures with a 2%H2/98%N₂ mixing gas concentration. The fiber cladding modified grating, without cladding chemical etching process, demonstrates 540 pm per 1% H₂ sensitivity, a better than 1sec response times at 160^oC, respectively. The thermal responses of the prototype have demonstrated increased dynamic wavelength shift while reducing response time simultaneously. The observed thermal dependence of the prototype could be attributed to a combined effect of thermal dependent hydrogen atoms diffusion rate and hydrogen atoms solubility.
