Abstract

An all-fiber Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometer is proposed and validated by the arc splicing technique. By using conventional fiber and special hollow-core photonic crystal fiber, several FP cavities were formed at the conventional fiber tip using arc discharges. As a result of the interaction between these cavities, modified FP principle operation was obtained; and temperature, refractive index, and load analyses validated this operation modification. In addition, this all-fiber interferometer presents good resolution and sensitivity in each parameter examined. The structure offers compactness, robustness, high repeatability, and stability measurement.
