Abstract
A Bragg labeled wavelength (BLW) employed to the sensitivity calibration in an interference pattern has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. According to the critical condition of Fabry–Perot (FP) interference and the antiresonant (AR) effect, the length of hollow core fiber (HCF) is artificially controlled to form a FP microcavity by collapsed fusion splicing. Dual-spectral features of the BLW and inline multimode interference (IMMI) dominate the transmission spectrum of the collapsed Bragg HCF (BHCF). The location of the BLW remains unchanged once the air-core diameter is selected. Sensing performance is investigated to validate the calibration function of the proposed BHCF. In particular, the temperature sensitivity of the BLW and multimode interference are 12.8 pm/°C and 87.1 pm/°C, respectively, corresponding to the reference sensitivity induced by the Bragg structure and the measurement sensitivity of the IMMI. All these findings highlight the calibration of HCF-based interferometric sensors in practical applications.
