| Summary: | By coating graphene oxide (GO) onto the surface no-core fiber (NCF), we designed a single-mode no-core single-mode (SNS) fiber Step-Index Distribution sucrose sensor. With wavelength demodulation and the beam propagation method (BPM), the sensor without a GO coating was studied in the low RI range of 1.33~1.389, and the high RI range of 1.389~1.4185. The experiments show that the RI sensitivity of the sensor respectively reaches 132.9 nm/RIU and 292.22 nm/RIU. Both the numerical simulation and the experiments are highly consistent with the theoretical analysis results. Especially, having coated GO on the NCF for sensitization, a high sensitivity was achieved for the response to sucrose concentration solutions. The sensor’s RI sensitivity was increased from 132.9 nm/RIU up to 1348.67 nm/RIU in the ultra-narrow range of 1.33 to 1.3385. This result provides a theoretical and experimental basis for the enrichment and development of sensor detection with a low threshold sucrose concentration.
