A higher sensitive sensor can provide more precise measurements in industry and research applications. Sagnac loop structure is a significant interference structure in optic fiber sensors for strain measurement. In this research, we propose a sensor structure that links a commercial Panda PMF to a 4° TFBG. With an analysis of the sensitization effect of TFBG to the interference sensors, there will be a significant enhancement of sensitivity. Based on the analysis, we demonstrate a sensor that combined TFBG with PMF to enhance the sensitivity. When a strain affects the sensor, the spectra will shift towards a longer wavelength direction. When a strain affects the sensor, the spectra will shift towards a longer wavelength direction. The proposed sensor can provide a sensitivity up to 51.9pm/ffff and 50.5pm/ffff. Meanwhile, it can measure the temperature independently on a sensitivity of 8.56pm/℃
Heart Rate Variability (HRV) analysis is an important tool for health monitoring. A non-invasive smart health monitoring system based on optical fiber interferometer can get HRV information from the Ballistocardiogram (BCG) signal. For some patients, the HRV can hardly be calculated due to the interferences from breath and other vibrations. In this research, we obtain a stable and high-sensitive BCG signal by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based sensor. In order to reduce the noise in signal, we introduce an advanced least mean squares (LMS) adaptive filter into the procedure. We use the signal processed by a bandpass filter as the ‘desired signal’ to deal with the raw data and obtain a preferable output for HRV calculation.
