Abstract :
We report on the fabrication of a Fabry-Perot optical resonator on the endface of a SMF28 fibre, by employing Direct Laser Writing by multi-photon polymerization. We explore this fibre sensing probe for measuring the vapour of common organic solvents. The device developed has been optimised for operation at the spectral region lying between 1445nm and 1655nm, while being interrogated in reflection mode using a simple 50/50 fibre coupler.
