Abstract

In this article, we demonstrate a “Fabry-Perot + Michelson” hybrid interferometer based on a polymer micro-cap located on asymmetric 2-core fiber (2CF) facet. Because the polymer micro-cap comprises a flat reflector and a concave reflector, the light propagating in the centric core will be reflected twice forming Fabry-Perot interference. Due to the bias angle between the eccentric core and the concave reflector, the light in the eccentric core reflects only once on the flat reflector and would interfere with the other reflected light in the 2CF. The experimental results show that Fabry-Perot and Michelson interference occur and are superimposed on the directly detected spectrum. Independent interferometric spectrums can be separated by Discrete Fourier Transform to achieve humidity-temperature simultaneous measurement based on coefficient matrix demodulation. Moreover, this new optical fiber sensing platform is all-solid, high-integration, and flexible, so it has potential in lab-on-fiber applications.
