Abstract
A hybrid interferometer for simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature is proposed and investigated experimentally. This hybrid design is composed of Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) and Michelson Interferometer (MI) cascaded with each other. It is developed by fusion splicing a single mode fiber (SMF), a multimode fiber (MMF), a dual side hole fiber (DSHF), a hollow core fiber (HCF) and a tapered-SMF. The tapered SMF was inserted into the HCF to form a reflection mirror for the FPI. The maximum temperature and strain sensitivity of the hybrid interferometer achieved through experiments is 11.6 pm/°C and 6.8 pm/mu varepsilon , respectively. The different sensitivities of FPI and MI to temperature and strain enable us to achieve simultaneous measurement. The proposed hybrid interferometer sensor has many attractive features such as, novel design, low cost, easy fabrication, compact size, and good sensitivity. Therefore, the proposed hybrid sensor could be widely deployed in plenty of applications, for instance, structural health monitoring, civil engineering, food manufacturing, chemical and medical fields.
