摘要: 为了能利用半导体材料ZnO对光谱曲线随温度变化而移动的原理设计一种光纤温度传感器,因此有必要对生长在光纤端面上的ZnO材料的温变特性的进行研究。基于ZnO材料的测温原理,利用电子束蒸发技术在蓝宝石光纤端面上生长ZnO薄膜,并设计了一种具有低插入损耗的光纤检测系统用于光学性能的分析。光谱测试结果显示,蒸镀在蓝宝石光纤端面上的ZnO薄膜具有陡峭的光学吸收边,随着温度的升高(室温~450℃),ZnO薄膜的禁带宽度减小,吸收边向长波长方向移动,符合半导体材料的温变特性。同时随着温度的升高,平均的透射率有一定的减小。ZnO薄膜温变特性的研究,将为进一步研制以ZnO镀膜为敏感材料的新型光纤温度传感器打下良好的基础。Abstract: In order to fabricate fiber-optic temperature sensors based on ZnO film,it is important to study the temperature-dependent optical properties of ZnO materials deposited on fiber ends.In this paper, ZnO thin film was grown on sapphire fiber ends by electron-beam evaporation(EBV)and a novel fiber-optic measurement system was designed to analyze the optical properties based on the temperature measurement principle of ZnO materials.When the temperature increases(room temperature to 450℃), the band gap decreases,the average transmittivity decreases slightly,and the absorption edge has a red shift,in accordance with the temperature-dependent properties of semiconductors.These properties will supply crucial evidences to further fabricate a fiber-optic temperature sensor based on semiconductor ZnO,utilizing the influence of optical absorption spectra in different temperatures.
