Optical fibers have been involved in the area of sensing applications for more than four decades. Moreover, interferometric optical fiber sensors have attracted broad interest for their prospective applications in sensing temperature, refractive index, strain measurement, pressure, acoustic wave, vibration, magnetic field, and voltage. During this time, numerous types of interferometers have been developed such as Fabry-Perot, Michelson, Mach-Zehnder, Sagnac Fiber, and Common-path interferometers. Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) fiber-optic sensors have been extensively investigated for their exceedingly effective, simple fabrication as well as low cost aspects. In this study, a wide variety of FPI sensors are reviewed in terms of fabrication methods, principle of operation and their sensing applications. The chronology of the development of FPI sensors and their implementation in various applications are discussed.
光纤已涉足传感应用领域四十多年。此外，干涉型光纤传感器因其在温度传感、折射率传感、应变测量、压力传感、声波传感、振动传感、磁场传感和电压传感等方面的潜在应用而备受关注。在此期间，人们开发了多种类型的干涉仪，如法布里-珀罗干涉仪、迈克尔逊干涉仪、马赫-曾德尔干涉仪、萨格纳克光纤干涉仪和共光路干涉仪。法布里-珀罗干涉仪（FPI）光纤传感器因其极其有效、制造简单且成本低等优点而受到广泛研究。在本研究中，从制造方法、工作原理及其传感应用等方面对各种FPI传感器进行了综述。讨论了FPI传感器的发展历程及其在各种应用中的实现情况。
