Abstract

Fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometers using monomode fibers are fabricated and their basic properties of finesse, polarization, and thermal response are studied. Fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometers are applied to the sensors of temperature, mechanical vibration, acoustic wave including human voice, ac voltage, and ac and dc magnetic fields. It has been demonstrated that a fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer can simplify the interferometric fiber sensor system and that high measurement sensitivity can be obtained by using a high-finesse and/or long-distance fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer.
