A high sensitivity optical fiber gas pressure sensor based on paralleled Fabry–Pérot interferometers (FPIs) was demonstrated. One micro-cavity FPI is used as a reference FPI (FPI-1) to generate a Vernier effect and the other FPI (FPI-2) is used as a sensing tip. Both FPIs are connected by a 3-dB coupler to form a paralleled structure. The FPI-1 was fabricated by fusion splicing a piece of hollow core fiber (HCF) between two sections of single-mode fibers (SMF), whereas FPI-2 was formed by fusion splicing a section of HCF between SMF and a piece of HCF with a slightly smaller inner diameter for sensing pressure. The gas pressure sensitivity was amplified from 4 nm/MPa of single FPI to 45.76 nm/MPa of paralleled FPIs with an amplification factor of 11.44 and a linearity of 99.9%. Compared with the traditional fiber gas pressure sensors, the proposed sensor showed great advantages in sensitivity, mechanical strength, cost, and temperature influence resistant, which has potential in adverse-circumstance gas pressure sensing.

An extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) composed of double fiber FP cavities in a glass capillary tube to generate Vernier effect has been fabricated and employed for gas pressure sensing. A lead-in single-mode fiber (LSMF) and a reflective single-mode fiber (RSMF) were inserted into the capillary tube to form a FP cavity. Femtosecond (fs) laser was used to ablate openings on a capillary tube for gas passage to the FP cavity. A fusion hole was also drilled on the end face of a SMF by fs laser. The sensitivity of the sensor is enhanced due to Vernier effect. Experimental results show that the sensitivity was as high as 86.64 nm/MPa in the range of 0~0.6 MPa, which is 32.8 times larger than that of an open-cavity EFPI sensor without Vernier effect. The temperature cross-sensitivity of the sensor was measured to be about 5.18 KPa/°C. The proposed sensor was characterized by its high sensitivity, compact structure and ease of fabrication, and would have extensive application prospects in gas sensing fields.

This paper presents a high sensitivity gas pressure sensor with benzyl-dimethylketal (BDK)-doped polymer optical fiber Bragg grating (POFBG), whose sensitivity is up to 8.12 pm/kPa and 12.12 pm/kPa in positive and negative pressure atmosphere, respectively. The high sensitivity can be explained by its porous chemical structure. The stability and response behavior under air pressure atmosphere has also been investigated. The new understanding of the air pressure response principle and sensitivity difference for the presented sensor can be a worthy reference.
