This study demonstrates an adiabatic fiber microtaper with incorporated an air-gap microcavity fiber-Fabry-Pérot-interferometer to perform superior sensing characteristics. Optical interference fringes with good fringes contrast within bandwidth of 1250–1650 nm are performed experimentally. A highly spectral sensitivity of peak power with +3.65 dB/ °C (+9759 dB/RIU) is achieved when the device is operated under a fundamental-mode-cutoff (FMC) condition. By measuring peak power of the fringe, one can determine the temperature (T) or refractive index of environment. The proposed hybrid sensor is further applied to measure high T (∼1000 °C) of surrounding in non-FMC condition that obtains a good linearity of spectral response.
This paper demonstrates a microfiber incorporated with an air-gap microcavity fiber Fabry-Pérot-interferometer to achieve an ultrasensitive sensing characteristic. An extremely high sensitivity is achieved when the hybrid configuration operated under a fundamental-mode cutoff (FMC) condition.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
