Ultrasensitive Temperature Sensor Based on a Fiber Fabry–Pérot Interferometer Created in a Mercury-Filled Silica Tube

Ultrasensitive Temperature Sensor Based on a Fiber Fabry–Pérot Interferometer Created in a Mercury-Filled Silica Tube

We demonstrate an ultrasensitive temperature sensor based on a unique fiber Fabry-Pérot interferometer (FPI) that was created by means of splicing a mercury-filled silica tube with a single-mode fiber. The air cavity of the fiber FPI was formed by the surface of the mercury column and th...
