Abstract

The invention relates to a novel optical fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor and a fabrication method thereof. The optical fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor is used for detecting the relative pressure and absolute pressure of liquid and gas as well as sound wave signals, ultrasonic wave signals and the like. The structure of the optical fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor mainly comprises an optical fiber, an elastic diaphragm, a sensor body and a miniature spring. Two methods and an alternative method can be adopted to form a Fabry-Perot cavity and fabricate the sensor. The elastic diaphragm and the sensing optical fiber are tightly contacted in a plane-sphere point contact manner; when the outside pressure is changed to cause the deformation of the elastic diaphragm, the diaphragm can drive the optical fiber to axially move in the sensor body, so that the length of the Fabry-Perot cavity of the optical fiber is changed; after a broadband light source is connected, by scanning the spectrum of the light passing through the optical fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor or extracting low-coherence interference fringes, the change of the cavity length can be extracted, and thereby pressure information can be obtained. The structure can avoid the defect that the diaphragm of the conventional optical fiber Fabry-Perot pressure sensor cannot be over-deformed, and can obtain higher measurement precision.
