Abstract
In this paper, a highly sensitive temperature sensor based on polymer-coated Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) is proposed and demonstrated. The FPI temperature sensor consists of the end face of single-mode fiber (SMF) and the Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cap on the end face. By varying the number of coatings, the thickness of the PDMS cap can be flexibly controlled to obtain FPI sensors with different cavity lengths. The temperature sensitivity is studied experimentally from −30 °C to 85 °C, and it is found that the sensor shows different sensitivity in different temperature intervals, up to 0.698 nm/°C. Compared to similarly constructed sensors, the sensor in this paper has a large temperature range while maintaining a high sensitivity. In addition, the performance of the sensor is tested by experiments and the results show that the sensor possesses the advantages of good stability, fast response time and good repeatability.
