Patent ID: 11630014

Abstract:
An air pressure sensor based on a suspended-core fiber and a side-hole fiber is provided and includes a broadband light source, an optical fiber circulator, a sensing head and a spectrometer; the optical fiber circulator is connected with the broadband light source, the sensing head and the spectrometer; the sensing head includes a single mode fiber, a multimode fiber, the suspended-core fiber and the side-hole fiber; the single mode fiber is connected with the suspended-core fiber through the multimode fiber; and the multimode fiber is connected with the side-hole fiber through the suspended-core fiber. The sensor uses a fabrication method of fiber fusion, and the operation is simple; the sensor has advantages of small volume, compact structure and convenient use; the sensor has good stability without adhesive; additionally, parallel connection of double cavities could produce vernier effects, so the sensor has good contrast of interference spectrum and high sensitivity.
