Abstract
In the present work, a simple temperature fiber laser sensor configuration is
proposed. The temperature fiber laser sensor is based in the combination of a
Fabry-Perót hybrid cavity and a random mirror. The Fabry-Perót hybrid cavity is
fabricated by splicing a single mode fiber with a small piece of suspended-core fiber.
The random mirror is created by multiple Rayleigh scattering events running along the
dispersion compensation fiber, as a direct consequence of Raman gain in this fiber. In
the proposed configuration, the Fabry-Perót cavity presents simultaneously a double
function: laser reflective mirror and temperature sensing cavity. The proposed
temperature fiber laser sensor presents maximum output power of ~4 mW in a 15nm
wavelength range while providing a temperature sensibility of ~6 pm/°C, in a
200°C temperature range.
