High-temperature sensor using a Fabry-Perot interferometer based on solid-core photonic crystal fiber
A micro Fabry-Perot interferometer (M-FPI) is constructed by splicing a short section of polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM-PCF) to an end-cleaved single-mode fiber with controllable offset. Due to the high effective optical path difference induced by the solid core of the PCF, the M-FPI has an ultrasmall cavity of approximately 110 \mu m. The temperature sensitivity within a range from 33 oC to approximately 600 oC is measured to be 13.8 pm/oC, which shows good agreement with the theoretical result. This proposed sensor has the advantages of ultracompact size and high stability. Therefore, it is suitable for various space-limited sensing applications in harsh environments.
