A high-sensitivity, low-cost, ultrathin, hollow fiber micro bubble structure was proposed; such a bubble can be used to develop a high-sensitivity strain sensor based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI). The micro bubble is fabricated at the fiber tip by splicing a glass tube to a single mode fiber (SMF) and then the glass tube is filled with gas in order to expand and form a micro bubble. The sensitivity of the strain sensor with a cavity length of about 155 μm and a bubble wall thickness of about 6 μm was measured to be up to 8.14 pm/μϵ.
提出了一种高灵敏度、低成本、超薄的中空光纤微泡结构;这种微泡可用于开发基于法布里-珀罗干涉仪(FPI)的高灵敏度应变传感器。通过将玻璃管与单模光纤(SMF)拼接,在光纤尖端制造微泡,然后向玻璃管中填充气体以使其膨胀并形成微泡。测量了腔长约为155μm、泡壁厚度约为6μm的应变传感器的灵敏度高达8.14pm/με。
