Abstract
A high temperature sensor based on an ultra-abrupt tapered fiber Michelson interferometer
fabricated by the fusion-splicing method is proposed. The sensor consists of a single abrupt taper
and the cleaved surface is used as the reflection mirror. The thermal characteristic is investigated
at 25 to 1 000 °C. The sensitivity of the sensor is observed to vary with the temperature, that
is, 25 and 78 pm/°C at 25-300 and 300-1 000 °C, respectively. The Michelson interferometer
sensors have the advantages of simple structure, cost effectiveness, compactness, and simple
fabrication process.
