Fiber Fabry–Perot cavity sensing probes with high thermal stability for dynamic signal detection which are based on a new method of structure compensation by a proposed thermal expansion model, are presented here. The model reveals that the change of static cavity length with temperature only depends on the thermal expansion coefficient of the materials and the structure parameters. So, fiber Fabry–Perot cavity sensing probes with inherent temperature insensitivity can be obtained by structure compensation. To verify the method, detailed experiments were carried out. The experimental results reveal that the static cavity length of the fiber Fabry–Perot cavity sensing probe with structure compensation hardly changes in the temperature range of −20 to 60 °C and that the method is highly reproducible. Such a method provides a simple approach that allows the as-fabricated fiber Fabry–Perot cavity acoustic sensor to be used for practical applications, exhibiting the great advantages of its simple architecture and high reliability.

To solve the cavity interrogation problem of short cavity fiber Fabry–Perot sensors in white light spectral interrogation with amplified spontaneous emissions (ASEs) as the white light sources, a data processing method, using an improved elliptical fitting equation with only two undetermined coefficients, is proposed. Based on the method, the cavity length of a fiber Fabry–Perot sensor without a complete reflection spectrum period in the frequency domain can be interrogated with relatively high resolution. Extrinsic fiber Fabry–Perot air-gap sensors with cavity lengths less than 30 μm are used to experimentally verify the method, and are successfully interrogated with an accuracy better than 0.55%.

AbstractThe performance of a new liquid Nitrogen cooled Fabry-Perot etalon for imaging at 3-5µm is described. Capacitance sensors monitor the etalon mirror spacing and parallelism, and error signals produced as a consequence of changes in these parameters are used in a feedback loop with piezoelectric actuators for active cavity control. These new cryogenic etalons are designed to be compatible with the Queensgate Instruments Ltd CS100/ET servo-stabilized Fabry-Perot system.The cryogenic etalon has a clear aperture of 50mm and a nominal mirror spacing of between 5 and 60µm. It is coated for the 3 - 5µm spectral region, although coatings are also available for the 2 - 2.5µm and 8 - 13µm regions. Under servo-control at operating temperature the etalon has a response time of 30 msec and a minimum cavity tuning range of ±3µm about the nominal cavity length, corresponding to approximately 3 orders of interference at the midrange wavelength of 4µm.

In this paper, a novel method used for Fabry-Perot cavity length's demodulation in high-speed and large scope measurement was proposed. Principle of the method is based on uniqueness of intensity of multiple wavelengths in the scope of Fabry-Perot vibration. This technique offers flexibility of selecting incident wave length and enhances the scope of demodulation of cavity length, compared with that popular triple wave length demodulation. In experiment, multi-wavelength demodulation is demonstrated for measurement of cavity length varying from 110um to 115um and the strain resolution was higher than 0.1um.

Confinement of light by subwavelength objects facilitates the realization of compact photonic devices and the enhancement of light-matter interactions. The Fabry-Perot (FP) cavity provides an efficient tool for confining light. However, the conventional FP cavity length is usually comparable to or larger than the light wavelength, making them inconvenient for many applications. By manipulating the reflection phase at the cavity boundaries, the FP cavity length could be made much smaller than the wavelength. In this review, we consider the subwavelength FP resonance in a plasmonic system composed of a slit grating backed with a ground plane, covering the spectral range from microwave to THz and infrared regime. For very narrow slit width and spacer thickness, a typical zero-order and deep subwavelength FP resonance in the metallic slits can be strongly induced. Moreover, due to the subwavelength FP resonance, greatly enhanced electromagnetic pressure can also be induced in the system. The sign and magnitude of the electromagnetic pressure are dominated by the field penetration effect in the metal as well as the field enhancement in the FP cavities. The effect promises a variety of potential applications, such as detecting tiny motions and driving the mechanical oscillations.

A fast real-time demodulation method based on the coarsely sampled spectrum is proposed for transient signals of fiber optic extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometers (EFPI) sensors. The feasibility of phase demodulation using a coarse spectrum is theoretically analyzed. Based on the coarse spectrum, fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithm is used to roughly estimate the cavity length. According to the rough estimation, the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) algorithm is applied to calculate the cavity length accurately. The dense wavelength division multiplexer (DWDM) is used to split the broadband spectrum into the coarse spectrum, and the high-speed synchronous ADC collects the spectrum. The experimental results show that the system can achieve a real-time dynamic demodulation speed of 50 kHz, a static measurement root mean square error (RMSE) of 0.184 nm, and a maximum absolute and relative error distribution of 15 nm and 0.005% of the measurement cavity length compared with optical spectrum analyzers (OSA).

A zero-cross detection algorithm was proposed for the cavity-length interrogation of fiber-optic Fabry–Perot (FP) sensors. The method can avoid the inaccuracy of peak determination in the conventional peak-to-peak method for the cavity-length interrogation of fiber-optic FP sensors caused by the slow variation of the spectral power density in peak neighboring regions. Both simulations and experiments were carried out to investigate the feasibility and performance of the zero-cross detection algorithm. Fiber-optic FP sensors with cavity lengths in the range of 150–1000 μm were successfully interrogated with a maximum error of 0.083 μm.

Polarized low-coherence interferometry (PLCI) is widely used for the demodulation of Fabry–Perot (F-P) sensors. To avoid the influence of noise and dispersion on interference fringes, this paper proposes a data processing method in which the wavelet tools are applied to extract useful information from the extremum locations and envelope center of the fringes. Firstly, the wavelet threshold denoising (WTD) algorithm is used to remove electrical noise, and the complex Morlet wavelet is used to extract the fringe envelope. Based on this, the envelope center is used to predict the extremum locations of the specified order in its adjacent interval, the predicted locations are used as references to track the exact extremum locations, and the middle location of the peak and valley values is obtained to demodulate the F-P cavity accurately. The validity of this demodulation theory is verified by an air F-P cavity whose cavity length varies from 17 to 20 μm. With a sampling interval of 30 nm, the experimental results indicate that the repeatability accuracy is higher than 6.04 nm, and the resolution is better than 4.0 nm.
