Abstract

The invention relates to a microsensor designed by the MOEMS technique, in particular to a micro-optical fiber voltage sensor which is fabricated by utilizing a high Q annular microcavity and is based on the annular microcavity; the problem that the high Q annular microcavity can not be properly applied to sensors is solved. The micro-optical fiber voltage sensor comprises a plane annular microcavity supported by a silicon column and a conical optical fiber coupled with the plane annular microcavity, wherein, two tungsten electrode probes are planted on an aluminum ohmic contact which is arranged on a micro-disc of the middle part of the plane annular microcavity. The micro-optical fiber voltage sensor has the advantages that the gradually mature MEMS process technique is utilized, and the current physics knowledge is taken as the theoretical basis to develop the voltage sensors towards the direction of micromation and integration. The micro-optical fiber voltage sensor does not have the disadvantages of large volume, high power consumption, serious environmental influence, and the like, of the original optical fiber voltage sensors.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a micro-sensor designed by micro-opto-electromechanical system technology, in particular to a ring-shaped micro-cavity-based micro-optical fiber voltage sensor processed by a high-Q ring-shaped micro-cavity. Background technique [0002] Voltage sensing is an important application of optical fiber sensing. Research on optical fiber voltage sensors began in the 1970s. During years of development, various models and theories of optical fiber voltage sensors have been proposed. There are two types: functional and non-functional. Functional fiber optic voltage sensors mainly use linear piezoelectric elements or electrostrictive elements as phase modulators. The non-functional fiber optic voltage sensor uses the linear electro-optic effect of electro-optic crystals to sense voltage. [0003] The earliest fiber optic voltage sensor is the Fabry-Pelot fiber optic voltage sensor. After nearly 30 years of development, the fiber optic ...
