Simultaneous measurement of pressure and temperature based on processed capillary tube and fiber Bragg grating

A hybrid optical fiber structure sensor for simultaneous measurement of temperature and low pressure based on Fabry–Perot (FP) interference and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed. The FP cavity is fabricated with a capillary pure silica tube, whose one end is surface processed to result in an open FP cavity. The measurement of refractive index change of different pressures has been achieved by monitoring the wavelength shift of the interference pattern in the reflection spectrum. The FP cavity is integrated with the FBG to obtain temperature measurement simultaneously.
