Paper Abstract
A curvature sensor based on a Fabry-Perot interferometer is proposed. A capillary tube of silica is fusion spliced
between two single mode fibers, producing a Fabry-Perot cavity. The light propagates in air, when passing through
the capillary tube. Two different cavities are subjected to curvature and temperature. The cavity with shorter length
shows insensitivity to both measurands. The larger cavity shows two operating regions for curvature measurement,
where a linear response is shown, with a maximum sensitivity of 18.77pm/m-1 for the high curvature radius range.
When subjected to temperature, the sensing head produces a similar response for different curvature radius, with a
sensitivity of 0.87pm/°C.
