Abstract

We demonstrate an all-fiber optical Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) strain sensor whose cavity is a microscopic air bubble. The bubble is formed by fusion splicing together two sections of single-mode fibers (SMFs) with cleaved flat tip and arc fusion induced hemispherical tip, respectively. The fabricated interferometers are with bubble diameters of typically 100μm. Strain and temperature sensitivities of fabricated interferometers are studied experimentally; a strain sensitivity of over 4Pm/με and a thermal sensitivity of less than 0.9Pm/°C is obtained.
