Miniature fiber-optic Pitot tube sensor

This paper presents a miniature fiber-optic Pitot tube for gas flow rate measurements created at the tip of an optical fiber. The proposed all-fiber sensor employs two in-fiber Fabry-Perot cavities/chambers. The first chamber is arranged as a differential pressure sensor Read More …

Multiparameter miniature fiber-optic sensor : design and signal interrogation

Miniature, all-silica, fiber-optic sensors capable of independent measurement of at least two different parameters arepresented. Sensors were produced by a micromachining process based on the selective etching of specially designed phosphorous-doped optical fibers and an assembly-procedure that included fiber cleaving, Read More …

Miniature all-fiber Fabry-Perot sensor for simultaneous measurement of pressure and temperature

This article presents a miniature, high-sensitivity, all-silica Fabry-Perot fiber-optic sensor suitable for simultaneous measurements of pressure and temperature. The proposed sensor diameter does not exceed 125 µm and consists of two low-finesse Fabry-Perot resonators created at the tip of an Read More …

Miniature all-glass robust pressure sensor

This paper describes a newly designed all-glass miniature (~ 125 µm) fiber-optic pressure sensor design that is appropriate for high-volume manufacturing. The fabrication process is based on the chemical etching of specially-designed silica optical fiber, and involves a low number Read More …
