UV-Curable Polymer Microhemisphere-Based Fiber-Optic Fabry–Perot Interferometer for Simultaneous Measurement of Refractive Index and Temperature

UV-Curable Polymer Microhemisphere-Based Fiber-Optic Fabry–Perot Interferometer for Simultaneous Measurement of Refractive Index and Temperature

A fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer based on UV-curable polymer microhemisphere is proposed and demonstrated. The polymer microhemisphere is formed by adhering and solidifying a liquid microdroplet of UV-curable adhesive to the end face of a cleaved single-mode fiber. The height of polymer micr...
