“…Subsequent work by this group has focused on the use of multilayer TiO 2 /SiO 2 films deposited on the fiber ends. Fusion splicing of seven-layercoated fibers to uncoated fibers has produced internal mirrors with reflectances greater than 85%, and Fabry-Perot interferometers fabricated with these mirrors produce finesses >20 [74].One of the most widely reported Fabry-Perot configurations has been the extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) [75]. This system, developed by the group at the Virginia Institute of Technology, has been widely used for structural monitoring applications of strain.…”

“…The local reflectors or mirrors inside the fiber can be fabricated with various methods such as dielectric thin-films [133,143,159], fiber Bragg gratings [144], and UV-induced mirrors [145]. Single-layer [133,143] or multilayer [159] dielectric mirrors can be deposited onto the fiber by magnetron sputtering.…”

“…Single-layer [133,143] or multilayer [159] dielectric mirrors can be deposited onto the fiber by magnetron sputtering. After splicing with another fiber, internal mirrors with reflectance of greater than 85% can be achieved [159]. Although this technique has shown preliminary success, it is limited by the need for a special coating on the fiber and deterioration in film quality during splicing.…”

(ABSTRACT)Fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometric (FFPI) sensors have been widely used due to their high sensitivity, ease of fabrication, miniature size, and capability for multiplexing. However, direct measurement of self-assembled thin films, receptor immobilization process or biological reaction is limited in the FFPI technique due to the difficulty of forming Fabry-Perot cavities by the thin film itself. Novel methods are needed to provide an accurate and reliable measurement for monitoring the thin-film growth in the nanometer range and under various conditions. In this work, two types of fiber-optic multicavity Fabry-Perot interferometric (MFPI) sensors with built-in temperature compensation were designed and fabricated for thin-film measurement, with applications in chemical and biological sensing. Both the tubing-based MFPI sensor and microgap MFPI sensor provide simple, yet high performance solutions for thin-film sensing. The temperature dependence of the sensing cavity is compensated by extracting the temperature information from a second multiplexed cavity. This provides the opportunity to examine the thin-film characteristics under different environment temperatures.To demonstrate the potential of this structure for practical applications, immunosensors were fabricated and tested using these structures. Self-assembled polyelectrolytes served as a precursor film for immobilization of antibodies to ensure they retain their biological activity. This not only provides a convenient method for protein immobilization but also presents the possibility of increasing the binding capacity

“…Cavities have been realized by creating air bubbles [3,4], depositing metal [5] and dielectric [6,7] films, chemical etching [8], using FBGs as mirrors [9], or even just approaching two cleaved fibers [10]. Micromachining is a more recent technique that allows for the creation of very small cavities or microcavities.…”
