Abstract

The invention discloses a novel F-P micro-cavity fiber sensor and a manufacturing method thereof. A reflecting face is manufactured in the fiber. Two reflecting faces of the F-P micro-cavity fiber sensor are formed by the reflecting face and a fiber end face. The reflecting face is obtained by changing the refraction index of the fiber through a laser function. According to the invention, by controlling pulse energy and a focus point position of the laser, the refraction index is only changed in a set partial fiber core region without damaging the fiber, so integrity of the fiber is ensured; disadvantages in current F-P cavity manufacturing method are overcome; the F-P micro-cavity fiber sensor and the manufacturing method thereof are characterized by high stability, small size, simple structure, easy manufacturing, excellent robustness, interference resistance to server environment and short processing period; quite high flexibility, quite high resolution rate and large-range refraction index sensing are achieved; and the F-P micro-cavity fiber sensor and the manufacturing method have wide application prospects in health detection, biochemical sensing and the like.
