Abstract

A humidity sensor with a low temperature sensitivity is proposed and demonstrated by coating a nanocomposite hygrometer polyacrylamide in an open interferometric cavity of a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer. In this paper the Fabry-Perot structure is formed by splicing one short section of single mode fiber between two sections of single mode fiber with a larger offset fusing method. Experimental results show that relative humidity (RH) sensitivity of the sensor is ∼0.1 nm/(1% RH) in the range of 38% to 78% RH and ∼5.868 nm/(1%RH) in the range of 88% to 98% RH, respectively.
