Abstract
While optical fibre-based sensors are well-developed and applied at various measurements, it is fragile. Therefore,
packaging of the sensor is an important aspect. In this paper, packaging schemes for singlemode-multimode-singlemode
optical fibre are observed numerically and experimentally. The effect of material variation to the sensitivity of temperature
sensor is observed between 25-100 °C. Packaging thickness and shape variation is also taken into consideration. Both
intensity-based interrogation and wavelength shift method show that the sensitivity of the sensor increases when packaging
is applied, compared to the bare SMS sensor. The application of PTFE as packaging increases the sensitivity of SMS
sensor, from 0.0103 dB/°C to -0.0590 dB/°C, about 5.7 times higher.
