Abstract

We present a fiber optic vernier harmonic sensor for simultaneous detection of temperature and strain in high temperature conditions based on a parallel dual fiber Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPI). Two air-cavity FPIs were assembled from SMF, MMF and a hollow silica tube (HST). A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is inscribed in one of the arms of the Fabry-Perot interferometers (FPIs) for temperature compensation. Based on the fiber optic vernier harmonic effect, the strain sensitivity of the sensor is further increased to 178.75 pm/µε, with a good linear response to strain and temperature in the range of 24 ℃-900 ℃. And the fabrication is straightforward and economy. It is a potential tool for micro strain measurements under extreme high temperature conditions.
