Paper Abstract
A novel Fabry-Perot interferometer pressure/acoustic sensor has been designed, fabricated, and tested. The sensor
consists of an angle-polished fiber, a V-shaped groove on a silicon substrate, and a silicon nitride diaphragm on the side
wall of the groove. The design uses MEMS technology to ensure precise cavity length control and diaphragm design
flexibility. Two shock wave tests were performed on the sensors: one where a balloon was popped near the sensors, and
another that used a shock tube to simulate a blast event. Multi-sensor assemblies, where all the sensors were calibrated to
have similar center wavelengths, were also put together. The assemblies were tested simultaneously using a single laser
source. The results of all these tests showed that the performance of the Fabry-Perot sensors closely matched that of the
reference sensors used.
