description Abstract A novel optical fiber hydrogen sensor based on the π-phase-shifted grating and partial coated Pd/Hf composite film is proposed and experimentally demonstrated in this paper. The hydrogen sensitive Pd/Hf film with the length of 4 mm is successfully deposited in the π-phase-shifted grating region by the magnetron sputtering process and rotating fixture technology. Since the hydrogen sensitivity between the notch and flank wavelengths of the π-phase-shifted grating is different due to the partial coating only on the π-phase-shifted grating region, the relative shift between the notch and flank wavelengths is employed to characterize the hydrogen concentration in this paper. The hydrogen calibration results show that the sensor shows the good response and repeatability. At the temperature of 20 °C and the hydrogen concentration of 2%, the wavelength distance shifts of 200 nm and 500 nm Pd/Hf coatings are 12.6 pm and 33.5 pm, respectively.
