Abstract
In recent years, with the rapid development of sensor technology, the design and application of high-precision temperature and salinity sensors have become the forefront of sensor research, in order to effectively improve the sensitivity of sensors, based on the additive manufacturing process, the Fabry-Perot microcavity is fabricated in the fiber end face, and the sensor is designed based on the dual-beam interference principle. In this study, two polymer microcavities of similar sizes were innovatively used to achieve the optical vernier effect. Experimental results showed that the vernier effect increased the temperature sensitivity by about 23.9 times and the salinity sensitivity by about 15.9 times. The long-term stability of the interference spectrum, the salinity sensing capability of low temperature crosstalk, and the low-cost repeatable manufacturing process plan reflect the great potential of the proposed sensor for environmental detection applications.
