摘要
We investigate the use of a class of whispering gallery mode optical resonators, namely, optical micro-ball resonator (MBR) as a relative humidity (RH) sensor. The MBR is fabricated using fusion splicer at the tip of standard optical fibers; single-mode fibers (SMF-28). The MBR is then optically excited by using an 8 mu m optical microfiber and was found to have a Q-factor of >10(5). The MBR was then employed as a humidity sensor with an RH range of between 40% to 100%. The MBR RH sensor was found to have a sensitivity 0.284 dB/%, linearity >90% and is superior to the bare microfiber in all measured parameters. The MBR RH sensor was also found to have good repeatability and stability compared to bare microfiber.
