Article Abstract
A refractive index (RI) insensitive temperature sensor based on specialty triple-clad fiber (STCF) is proposed. Based on coupling mode theory, the STCF can be equivalent to a rod waveguide and two tube waveguides. Then the cladding mode resonance characteristic of STCF is analyzed by calculating different mode dispersion curves, which indicates that it works only on the mode resonance from core to the fluorine-doped silica cladding, and finally a resonance wavelength can be obtained. Two straightforward experiments are performed to prove its sensing properties. Experimental results show that it has sensitivities of 72.17 pm/°C at temperature range from 35°C~95°C with characteristics of insensitive to external RI in the range from 1.3450 to 1.4607. Thus, this proposed sensor can be used for solution temperature monitoring in real time.

Because of their tunable refractive index and surface functionalities, biopolymers have emerged as excellent candidates for the fabrication of sustainable optical fibers. To date, the focus has been on identifying suitable biopolymers for optical fiber fabrication and their associated waveguiding properties. Despite a few studies showing their potential for short-distance applications and humidity sensing, the quantitative sensing of environmental parameters using biopolymer optical fibers has not been reported.

To solve the problems of single absorption function and the complex structure of terahertz absorbers, this study proposes a terahertz (THz) absorber based on vanadium dioxide (VO) driven by electric dipole resonance, which can achieve wideband and narrowband absorption conversion. Simulation results indicate that in the narrowband absorption mode, two narrowband absorption peaks were observed at 14.6 THz and 16.

In recent years, terahertz metamaterial sensors have shown great potential in label-free biosensing; yet, the detection of high-absorption liquid samples that are sensitive to terahertz waves remains a significant challenge. In this study, a dual-function absorber capable of dynamically switching between broadband absorption and high-sensitivity sensing is proposed based on the microfluidic technology and phase change characteristics of vanadium dioxide (VO). Compared with traditional terahertz microfluidic sensors, this structure differs in that it incorporates a VO film as a separation layer in the sensor cover plate and a VO square resonator on top.
