Abstract
In this paper, a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) based on the fusion structure of hollow-core fiber (HCF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) is reported. Its length can reach a level of 200 μm, which has the advantage of axial strain sensitivity, low temperature crosstalk, and a wide free spectrum range (FSR). The experimental results show that the axial strain and temperature sensitivity of FPI with the length of 200 μm is 1.50 pm/με (R-square is 0.9999) and 1.5 pm/°C during the range of 20 °C–100 °C. A sensing structure based on a parallel Vernier effect is proposed to improve axial strain sensitivity and eliminate temperature crosstalk. Two FPIs with similar lengths are fabricated in this experiment. A 2*2 coupler parallels these two FPIs, the sensitivity of axial strain can be amplified by 22 times, and the optical path difference caused by temperature change can be eliminated. The axial strain sensitivity of the proposed sensor can reach 33.5 pm/με owing to the parallel Vernier effect with excellent linear property (R-square is 0.9981) and negligible crosstalk of temperature. In addition, the parallel sensing structure has the advantages of repeatability, reproducibility, flexible collocation, low cost, easy preparation.
