Abstract An on-fiber extrinsic Fabry–Perot interferometric (EFPI) vibration sensor based on micro-cantilever beam is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The micro-cantilever beam, with a cantilever length of 80μm and a cantilever thickness of 5μm, is created perpendicular to the fiber axis by using the femtosecond laser micro-machining technique. The on-fiber vibration sensor has same diameter with that of the single mode fiber. An acceleration sensitivity of 11.1 mV/g@300 Hz in the range of 0.5-5g is demonstrated experimentally. This on-fiber and micro-cantilever beam design allows for the sensor to be smaller size and higher temperature resistance.

An extrinsic Fabry-Perot (F-P) interferometric (EFPI) sensor by using simple etching and fusing method is proposed and demonstrated. The cavity is formed by wet chemical etching of multi-mode fiber (MMF) end face in hydrofluoric acid solutions, and then it is fused to the end of a single-mode fiber (SMF) to form an extrinsic F-P structure. The strain and temperature of EFPI sensor are studied experimentally. The experimental results show that the interference wavelength becomes 2.648nm longer while the strain increases from 0N to 637N, and the strain sensitivity is about 0.004nm/N, and linearity is 0.999. The interference wavelength becomes 0.032nm shorter while the temperature increases from 20°C to 100°C. This kind of sensor has the many advantages of easy fabrication, good reliability, high-repetition, small size, low cost and mass-production, which offers great prospect for sensing applications.

A high-sensitivity, low-cost, ultrathin, hollow fiber micro bubble structure was proposed; such a bubble can be used to develop a high-sensitivity strain sensor based on a Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI). The micro bubble is fabricated at the fiber tip by splicing a glass tube to a single mode fiber (SMF) and then the glass tube is filled with gas in order to expand and form a micro bubble. The sensitivity of the strain sensor with a cavity length of about 155 μm and a bubble wall thickness of about 6 μm was measured to be up to 8.14 pm/μϵ.

A novel Fabry–Perot (F–P) interferometer model based on the ultra-small gradient-index (GRIN) fiber probe is investigated. The signal arm of the F–P interferometer is organically combined with the ultra-small GRIN fiber probe to establish the theoretical model of the novel F–P interferometer. An interferometer experimental system for vibration measurements was built to measure the performance of the novel F–P interferometer system. The experimental results show that under the given conditions, the output voltage of the novel interferometer is 3.9 V at the working distance of 0.506 mm, which is significantly higher than the output voltage 0.48 V of the single-mode fiber (SMF) F–P interferometer at this position. In the range of 0.1–2 mm cavity length, the novel interferometer has a higher output voltage than an SMF F–P interferometer. Therefore, the novel F–P interferometer is available for further study of the precise measurement of micro vibrations and displacements in narrow spaces.
