Fiber-optic Fabry–Perot temperature sensor based on the ultraviolet curable glue-filled cavity and two-beam interference principle

Abstract

Abstract An ultraviolet curable glue (UCG)-filled microprobe Fabry–Perot fiber temperature sensor, which based on the two-beam interference principle, is proposed and fabricated. In the range of 25.7–250 °C, the average sensitivity and average linear correlation coefficient of the sensor are −41.69 pm/°C and 0.98558, respectively. Under the same temperature, the maximum fluctuation (0.56 pm) of the trough’s wavelength and the standard error (0.0023 ± 0.04%) are obtained. The proposed interferometer exhibits excellent stability and has a potential application in the field of temperature monitoring.
