Abstract

This paper presents a guided-mode resonance (GMR) reflector for sapphire based Fabry-Perot (F-P) sensors that enables tunable or wideband high reflectance with high temperature resistance,which is expected to effectively regulate the performance of F-P sensors and offer a novel approach for designing F-P sensors in harsh environments. Intrinsic and extrinsic GMR gratings are proposed, and their optical and thermal properties are investigated and compared through numerical simulations, such as rigorous coupled-wave analysis and finite element analysis methods. The quantitative results indicate high feasibility for harsh environment applications and the potential for adopting different demodulation methods. Significant enhancement in the F-P sensor performance is obtained through analysis based on the F-P interference model, and the spectrum fineness and sensor sensitivity can be enhanced by at least one order of magnitude. The GMR reflector can be extended to other types of F-P sensors, demonstrating significant potential in high-temperature applications.
