A long period fiber grating seawater salinity sensor based on bend insensitive single mode fiber

Shuang Zhao et al.

Summary: In this study, a long period fiber grating (LPFG) seawater salinity sensor based on a bend insensitive single mode fiber (SMF) is proposed. The sensitivity of seawater salinity is optimized by combining mode transition (MT) and reducing cladding diameter. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.

Summary: The paper presents a low-cost multiparametric probe that can be deployed in coastal areas and integrated into a wireless sensor network. The probe is composed of physical sensors capable of measuring water temperature, salinity, and total suspended solids (TSS). Calibration results show no effect of temperature on the sensors and no interference of salinity in the measuring of TSS or vice versa. The calibration models for salinity and TSS show good correlation coefficients and low mean absolute errors.

Observed poleward freshwater transport since 1970

Taimoor Sohail et al.

Summary: Warming-induced global water cycle changes pose a significant challenge to global ecosystems and human society. However, quantifying historical water cycle change is difficult owing to a dearth of direct observations, particularly over the ocean, where 77% and 85% of global precipitation and evaporation occur, respectively. Here, researchers track salinity trends in the warm, salty fraction of the ocean and quantify the observed net poleward transport of freshwater from 1970 to 2014. They find that poleward freshwater transport from warm to cold ocean regions has occurred at a rate not replicated in current climate models.

Summary: This paper reviews the most recently developed sensors for single parameter and multi-parameter TSP sensing and measurement based on different optical fiber sensors (OFSs). It also addresses the encapsulation methods to protect the fibers and maintain the normal operation of OFSs in seawater, as well as the response time of the OFS. Finally, the prospects and challenges of using OFSs in marine environments are discussed, along with providing some clues for future work.

Summary: The study theoretically and experimentally demonstrated the presence of dual loss peaks in the transmission spectrum of long-period fiber gratings (LPFGs) fabricated in a parameter-optimized two-mode fiber using a CO2 laser. The strain and temperature sensitivities of the two resonant dips were found to be 10 times higher than those of unoptimized LPFGs, indicating potential for high sensitivity in strain and temperature discrimination. Additionally, an LPFG-aided interferometric sensor was developed with high modulation depth and low insertion loss, showing promise for practical applications in sensing.
