Abstract This paper presents a theoretical study of the utilization of the shift in the reflection peak of the thin dielectric film with embedded metal nanoparticles (NPs) towards humidity and vapor applications. The presence of the NPs in the film results in a complex effective index. Hence, the reflected light at the superstrate-film interface causes a phase shift when the index of the surrounding is changed. This alters the reflected spectrum of the formed Fabry-Perot, for both the reflection peak wavelength and intensity. Here, the dynamic range of the proposed sensor is optimized through the variation of the film thickness and nanoparticle metal type, as well as the volume fraction.

Herein we design a fiber sensor able to simultaneously measure the temperature and the pressure under harsh conditions, such as strong electromagnetic interference and high pressure. It is built on the basis of the fiber-optic Fabry–Perot (F–P) interference and the temperature sensitive mechanism of fluorescent materials. Both halogen lamps and light-emitting diodes (LED) are employed as the excitation light source. The reflected light from the sensor contains the low coherent information of interference cavity and the fluorescent lifetime. This information is independent due to the separate optical path and the different demodulation device. It delivers the messages of pressure and temperature, respectively. It is demonstrated that the sensor achieved pressure measurement at the range of 120–400 KPa at room temperature with a sensitivity of 1.5 nm/KPa. Moreover, the linearity of pressure against the cavity length variation was over 99.9%. In the meantime, a temperature measurement in the range of 25–80 °C, with a sensitivity of 0.0048 ms/°C, was obtained. These experimental results evince that this kind of sensor has a simple configuration, low-cost, and easy fabrication. As such, it can be particularly applied to many fields.

We investigate thermally induced optical nonlinearity of a glass doped with semiconductor quantum dots. With the feedback of a Fabry-Perot resonator this glass shows dispersive optical bistability. The reflected light signal is coupled to a hybrid ring cavity with a round trip time much longer than that of the Fabry-Perot resonator and even longer than the thermal relaxation time of the glass. The self-oscillations occurring for certain input parameters are regular and the appearance of different modes as a function of the light intensity coupled to the resonator is observed. Due to the broad hysteresis and the high inclination of both branches of the bistable loop we observe large numbers of ascending and descending steps in the output intensity, i.e., long oscillation periods. A simple model of adiabatic simulations by an iterated map shows that the mode structure follows a Farey-tree construction.

A novel scheme to detect ultrasonic motion at the surface of a solid sample is presented. The surface of the sample is illuminated by a frequency-stabilized laser and the light scattered by the surface is received by a confocal Fabry–Perot interferometer, which demodulates the Doppler shift produced by ultrasound. Experimental results, obtained at a distance of 1.5 m from a machined but not polished steel plate, and excited by ultrasound produced by a laser pulse, are presented.
