Abstract

This paper reports on a multi-point optical fiber pressure sensor using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) written on an exposed core optical fiber (ECF) by femtosecond laser. The pressure sensing elements were constructed as Fabry-Perot (FP) interferometers of different cavity lengths using pairs of FBGs with identical resonant wavelength. In this fashion an interference pattern was formed within the FBG bandwidth with much narrower fringes, leading to better detection limit. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) was used to calculate the phase change of the FP interference pattern with respect to applied pressure. The pressure sensitivity was proportional to the cavity FP cavity length, and reached -0.672 rad/MPa for the case of FP with 9 mm cavity length. The proposed sensor has potential to measure pressure at very high temperature thanks to its single material configuration.
