Combining regenerated gratings and optical fibre Fabry-Perot cavities for dual sensing of ultra-high temperature and strain

摘要

The successful regeneration of fibre Bragg gratings (FBGs) inscribed in an inline fibre etalon is demonstrated. The etalon is formed by UV-micromaching of the fibre end-face to form a cylindrical hole, the fibre is then fusion spliced to seal the cavity. Such a fibre device has excellent potential for the simultaneous measurement of ultra-high temperatures and strain.
