Abstract
A hybrid cascaded configuration consisting of a fiber Sagnac interferometer (FSI) and a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) was proposed and experimentally demonstrated to enhance the temperature intensity by the Vernier-effect. The FSI, which consists of a certain length of Panda fiber, is for temperature sensing, while the FPI acts as a filter due to its temperature insensitivity. The two interferometers have almost the same free spectral range, with the spectral envelope of the cascaded sensor shifting much more than the single FSI. Experimental results show that the temperature sensitivity is enhanced from −1.4 nm/°C (single FSI) to −29.0 (cascaded configuration). The enhancement factor is 20.7, which is basically consistent with theoretical analysis (19.9).
