摘要
Micro extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometers (MEFPIs), with cavity lengths of up to similar to 9 mu m and maximum fringe contrast of similar to 19 dB, are fabricated by chemically etching Er- and B-doped optical fibers and then splicing the etched fiber to a single-mode fiber, for the first time to the best of our knowledge. The strain and temperature responses of the MEFPI sensors are investigated experimentally. Good linearity and high sensitivity are achieved. Such a type of MEFPI sensor is cost-effective and suitable for mass production, indicating its great potential for a wide range of applications.
