High Temperature Strain Sensor Based on In-Line Fabry-Perot Interferometer Formed by Hollow-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber
Based on the characteristics of high temperature resistance and well temperature stability of hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HCPCF), high temperature strain response of the micro Fabry-Perot etalon(HCPCF F-P) fabricated by splicing a section of hollow core photonic crystal fiber in between two single-mode fibers is reported. Experimental results show that the HCPCF F-P has good temperature stability in the range of 100 ℃ to 700 ℃, and the strain sensitivity and linearity of HCPCF F-P is ~5.94 nm/με and ~0.9997 at 600 ℃,respectively. The max cross-influence of temperature on the strain is just about 1.5%, and the measuring accuracy is about 0.08% FS. Furthermore, the theoretical and experimental results show that the temperature sensitivity and the influence of temperature on strain of the HCPCF F-P is low, while the sensitivity, linearity and repeatability of strain of the HCPCF F-P is very high. The strain sensor has large strain measure range and no hysteresis.
