Problems solved by technology

It is difficult to achieve accurate quantitative detection by relying solely on fiber optic fusion cones for sensing. Based on this, researchers often coat their surfaces with sensitive materials that respond to environmental changes, but coating materials usually have certain incomplete reversibility or require relatively Long response time, so the coated optical fiber fusion cone sensor has certain disadvantages in stability and reliability

Abstract

The invention provides an optical fiber fused taper-based intrinsic Fabry-Perot device and a manufacturing method thereof. The optical fiber fused taper-based intrinsic Fabry-Perot device comprises an optical fiber fused taper, wherein a first optical fiber internal reflection mirror and a second optical fiber internal reflection mirror are arranged in the optical fused fiber taper and radially change the reflection faces formed by reflection rates at the fiber core respectively along the interior of the optical fiber taper waist through femtosecond pulse laser. The diameter of the optical fiber fused taper is 10 to 50 microns; the distance between the first and second optical fiber internal reflection mirrors is 50 to 6000 microns.
