Abstract
A scheme of fiber Fabry–Perot (F-P) cavity refractive index (RI) demodulation named under-sampled length spectrum retrieval (ULSR) is proposed. Unlike the wavelength spectrum method, ULSR can be used for physical quantity detection with just a monochromatic laser and photodetectors, avoiding the need for wideband lasers or expensive infrared spectrometers. Eight F-P cavities of different lengths were fabricated to sample the cavity length spectrum, and then the obtained under-sampled length spectrum was used to demodulate the RI of F-P cavity fillings. It was demonstrated that the ULSR system can achieve an index measurement accuracy of 1 × 10−4 in the glucose solution index range of 1.3294–1.3746 at wavelength λ = 1.55 µm. An index demodulation with higher accuracy and wider range is expected when more than 8 F-P cavities are used. The proposed scheme, with advantages of low system complexity, low cost, high reliability, high detecting accuracy, and wide detecting range, holds great promise for facilitating the wide application of F-P cavity sensors. Additionally, ULSR liberates wavelength freedom, making it a strong candidate for multiplexed sensing based on wavelength division multiplexing.
