摘要：

A novel fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) vector curvature sensor based on Vernier effect is proposed and demonstrated. The triangular-distributed sensing structure is fabricated by self-assembly of FPI and single-mode fiber (SMF). When the device is bent in any orientation, a direction-dependent wavelength shift of the interference pattern is produced because the sensing fiber always deviates from the neutral plane. In order to overcome the trade-off between high sensitivity and large dynamic range, we connect the reference fiber and the sensing fiber to produce the Vernier effect. Without affecting the measurement range of the sensing structure, the sensitivity of the self-assembled sensor based on Vernier effect is amplified by 5 times and 3.6 times respectively by using different FPIs as sensing arm. The experimental results show that the sensing structure has good stability and repeatability. Compared with the substrate packaging, the fiber FPI sensing structure based on self-assembly can realize miniaturization, which is conducive to the application of the sensor in medical detection and artificial intelligence.
