摘要
锥形光纤在荧光传感领域应用广泛。其中,由自由基光聚合法制成的锥形微纳光纤(PTOF)具有制造工艺灵活、耗能低的优点。为了提高荧光收集效率,进而提高锥形微纳光纤传感器的灵敏度,文章在不同曝光时间和曝光功率下制作了不同尺寸的PTOFs作为传感头,对包埋在锥形尖端的荧光素进行荧光收集。实验结果表明,25μW,5s下生成的PTOF有较好的荧光收集效率,约为端面切平光纤的9.6倍。
Tapered fiber is widely used in the field of fluorescence sensing. Among them, the polymer-tipped optical fiber(PTOF) fabricated by free radical photopolymerization has the advantages of flexible fabrication process and low energy consumption.To improve the fluorescence collection characteristics and the sensitivity of the polymer-tipped optical fiber sensor, different sizes of PTOFs were fabricated as sensing heads under different exposure times and exposure powers,which were used to collect fluorescence excited by fluorescein embedded in the tapered tips. The experimental results showed that the PTOF generated at 25μW within 5s had better fluorescence collection efficiency, which was about 9.6 times as high as the flat cut fiber.
