    Abstract

    A fiber in-line Fabry–Pérot interferometer is presented. The sensing head consists of a micro ellipsoidal air cavity and a small section of solid-core photonic crystal fiber. The reflective index (RI) and temperature can be interrogated simultaneously through a fast Fourier transform and by tracing the dip wavelength shift of the reflective spectrum. Experimental results show that the RI amplitude and wavelength sensitivities are 5.30/RIU and 8.46×10 1 nm/RIU in the range from 1.34 to 1.43, and the temperature amplitude and wavelength sensitivities are 6.8×10 4/°C and 2.48×10 3 nm/°C in the range from 15°C to 75°C, respectively. Easy fabrication, a simple system, and simultaneous measurement make it appropriate for dual-parameter sensing application.
