Abstract

A high-sensitivity fiber-optic pressure sensor is demonstrated, based on the Vernier effect in a cascaded dual Fabry–Pérot interferometer. The sensor incorporates a 343 μm polarization-maintaining fiber and a single-mode fiber, precisely aligned and secured within a ceramic sleeve to form an air cavity. The Vernier effect is realized by precisely controlling the silica cavity length through a fiber polishing process, which significantly enhances the gas pressure sensitivity. The device exhibits a linearity of 99.68% and a sensitivity of 50.93 pm kPa−1 over the range of 50.2 kPa–201.8 kPa. Owing to its compact structure, robust fabrication, and good short-term stability, this sensor holds great potential for gas pressure monitoring applications.

Fiber-optic microcavity temperature and humidity sensor based on the Vernier effect

A Vernier effect–based fiber-optic microcavity sensor is proposed for simultaneous temperature and humidity sensing. Using a sensing Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) with a UV-adhesive cavity and a reference air-cavity FPI in parallel, the Vernier effect amplifies spectral shifts. The sensor exhibits temperature sensit...

Design of a Multiparameter Sensor Based on an Integrated Two-Cavity F-P Interferometer With G-PCF

This paper proposes and experimentally demonstrates an all-fiber multiparameter sensor based on an integrated two-cavity Fabry-Pérot (F-P) interferometer. The sensing probe is fabricated by the controlled arc-discharge-induced fusion of a grapefruit-type photonic crystal fiber (G-PCF) and a single-mode fiber (SMF) to f...
