Miniaturized fiber-taper-based Fabry-Perot interferometer for high-temperature sensing

Appl Opt. 2017 Jan 10;56(2):256-259. doi: 10.1364/AO.56.000256.

Abstract

A microminiaturized all-fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) for high-temperature sensing has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The FPI is composed of a micro-air bubble and a taper probe with a tip less than 2 μm in diameter as reflected interfaces. A temperature sensitivity of 14.68 pm/°C near the wavelength of 1550 nm is obtained. The sensor, with its miniature size, can work in an ultra-small space with a large range of temperature variation.
