For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, we observed the pulsating dissipative solitons in a mode-locked fiber laser at normal dispersion using the dispersive-Fourier transformation technology. The artificial saturable absorbers, as well as the birefringent filter formed by the nonlinear polarization rotation, make the polarization controller an effective component to adjust the laser state from stationary to pulsating. The pulsating dissipative solitons are accompanied with the spectrum breathing and oscillating structures due to the nonlinear pulse propagation. Our results can enhance the understanding of the pulsating solitons in the dissipative systems.

A novel temperature- and strain-independent optical fiber torsion sensor based on a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PSFBG) inscribed by the line-by-line (LbL) technique in a standard single-mode fiber with a femtosecond laser has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The strong birefringence created by the LbL inscription technique leads to the significant polarization splitting of the transmission peak of the PSFBG. By simply monitoring the variation of the amplitude difference between the two polarization-peaks, the fiber torsion angle and the fiber torsion direction can be simultaneously deduced without temperature and strain confusion. The torsion sensor exhibits a high torsion sensitivity of up to −1032.71 dB/(rad/mm), with the distinct advantages of low manufacture cost, small dimension (just ~1.72mm), and extremely robust and simple structure, which make it very attractive for practical applications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the smallest torsion sensor ever reported.

We UV inscribe and characterize a long-period fiber grating with a period of 25 μm. A series of polarization-dependent dual-peak pairs can be seen in the transmission spectrum, even though only the symmetrical refractive index modification is introduced. The fabricated grating exhibits a lower temperature sensitivity compared with standard long-period gratings and an enhanced refractive index sensitivity of ∼312.5 nm/RIU averaged from 1.315 to 1.395, which is more than four-fold higher than standard long-period gratings in this range. The full width at half-maximum of the fabricated grating is only about 0.6 nm, allowing for high-resolution sensing. Moreover, the grating period is so small that the attenuation dip corresponding to a high-order Bragg resonance can also be seen, which can act as a monitor of the unwanted perturbation to realize dual-parameter sensing.

A temperature sensor employing the Vernier effect generated from a cascaded fiber rings based microwave photonic filter (MPF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The structure of the fiber ring is used as a sensing element as well as the sampling and delaying component of the MPF in our proposed sensing scheme. The sensing characteristics of both single ring and cascaded fiber rings based sensors have been studied and compared. By employing two cascaded fiber rings of slightly different length, the Vernier effect can be generated in the frequency response of the MPF. The sensing interrogation of the cascaded fiber rings based sensor is conducted by detecting the frequency shift of the upper envelope of the measured frequency response curve. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the cascaded fiber rings based sensor can be improved about 30 times compared with the single fiber ring based temperature sensor.

An optical fiber Fabry-Perot probe sensor for high-temperature measurement is proposed and demonstrated, which is fabricated by inducing a refractive-index-modified-dot (RIMD) in the fiber core near the end of a standard single mode fiber (SMF) using a femtosecond laser. The RIMD and the SMF end faces form a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with a high-quality interference fringe visibility (>20dB). As a high-temperature sensor, such an FPI exhibits a sensitivity of 13.9pm/°C and 18.6pm/°C in the range of 100-500°Cand 500-1000°C,respectively. The fabrication process of this device is quite straightforward, simple, time saving, and the sensor features small size, ease of fabrication, low cost, assembly-free, good mechanical strength, and high linear sensitivity.
