Abstract
We demonstrate an all-fiber optical Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) strain sensor whose cavity is a microscopic air bubble. The bubble is formed by fusion splicing together two sections of single-mode fibers (SMFs) with cleaved flat tip and arc fusion induced hemispherical tip, respectively. The fabricated interferometers are with bubble diameters of typically ~100 μm. Strain and temperature sensitivities of fabricated interferometers are studied experimentally; a strain sensitivity of over 4 Pm/με and a thermal sensitivity of less than 0.9 Pm/°C is obtained.
