AI Article Synopsis
- The Fabry-Pérot interferometer has a simple optical setup and is widely used for measurement applications.
- The performance of the interferometer, particularly in displacement measurement, is affected by tilt angles of the measurement mirror, limiting its effective range.
- This study aims to improve the measuring range by compensating for tilt angles, demonstrating high stability and accuracy with a maximum deviation of less than 0.3 μm over a 30 mm range.
Article Abstract
The optical configuration of a Fabry-Pérot interferometer is uncomplicated. This has already been applied in different measurement systems. For the displacement measurement with the Fabry-Pérot interferometer, the result is significantly influenced by the tilt angles of the measurement mirror in the interferometer. Hence, only for the rather small measuring range, the Fabry-Pérot interferometer is available. The goal of this investigation is to enhance the measuring range of Fabry-Pérot interferometer by compensating the tilt angles. To verify the measuring characteristic of the self-developed Fabry-Pérot interferometer, some comparison measurements with a reference standard have been performed. The maximum deviation of comparison experiments is less than 0.3 μm in the traveling range of 30 mm. The experimental results show that the Fabry-Pérot interferometer is highly stable, insensitive to environment effects, and can meet the measuring requirement of the submicrometer order.

Methane gas leakage can lead to pollution problems, such as rising ambient temperature. In this paper, the Vernier effect of a double D-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) in a Sagnac interferometer (SI) is proposed for the accurate detection of mixed methane gas content in the gas. The optical fiber structure of the effective sensing in the sensing SI loop and the effective sensing in the reference SI loop are the same.

Microwave phase detectors (MPDs) are key components of instantaneous frequency measurement (IFM) receivers and phase interferometer direction finding (PIF-DF) receivers. In conventional analyses, there is seldom a major quantitative discussion of MPD characterization when multiple signals arrive at the same time, which is often the case in complex and noisy electromagnetic environments. We have reanalyzed the characteristics of MPDs with respect to filter effects acting on more than two RF signals and differential amplifiers, which are not considered in conventional analyses.

Thermal treatment is a common method to improve the properties of optical thin films, but improper thermal treatment processing will result in the degradation of the optical properties of the optical thin film. The thermal stability of niobium oxide (NbO) thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering was systematically studied by analyzing the roughness and morphology of the film under different thermal treatment processes. The results show that the amorphous stability of the NbO thin film can be maintained up to 400 °C.

We present a high-sensitivity curvature and strain Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) fiber sensor based on a configuration of no-core fiber (NCF) and four-core fiber (FCF). We used an optical fiber fusion splicer to directly splice a segment of FCF between two segments of NCF, with both the FCF and NCF made of SiO, where the FCF exhibits multi-path interference characteristics that allow for higher sensitivity. The NCF, with its self-focusing property, excites higher-order modes, which split and transmit it into the four cores of the FCF.

Vector bending sensors can be utilized to detect the bending curvature and direction, which is essential for various applications such as structural health monitoring, mechanical deformation measurement, and shape sensing. In this work, we demonstrate a temperature-insensitive vector bending sensor via parallel Farby-Perot interferometers (FPIs) fabricated by etching and splicing a multicore fiber (MCF). The parallel FPIs made in this simple and effective way exhibit significant interferometric visibility with a fringe contrast over 20 dB in the reflection spectra, which is 6 dB larger than the previous MCF-based FPIs.
