An optical fiber humidity sensor based on femtosecond laser micromachining Fabry-Perot cavity with composite film

Zhaoxu Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, an optical fiber relative humidity sensor based on femtosecond laser micromachining Fabry-Perot cavity with composite film is proposed. The effect of the hole perforated on the Fabry-Perot cavity by femtosecond laser on the humidity performance of the sensors is studied for the first time. The best performance is achieved by a sensor with a hole diameter of 40μm, mixture ratio of 1:2 HA/PVA, and a film thickness of 20μm. The sensor exhibits a linear response to humidity with high sensitivity and stability.
