摘要： A fiber-optic sensor includes a Fabry-Perot cavity, the length of which may be altered by deposition of a material of interest that may be deposited or captured on an end surface thereof. The sensor may also be tapered near the end surface to a tip diameter in the range of a few micrometers or a few micrometers by a variety of techniques which may be used singly or in combination. A tapered probe of such dimensions is of minimal intrusiveness in biological observations and can be used to probe sub-micron sized cells in vivo. By developing a multi-layer self-assembled film to immobilize a capture material such as a DNA sequence complementary to a DNA sequence of interest or other organic material such as proteins, antigens and/or antibodies materials of interest may be preferentially captured and immediately detected by alteration of spectral response of the fiber-optic sensor.

摘要： A diaphragm optic sensor comprises a ferrule including a bore having an optical fiber disposed therein and a diaphragm attached to the ferrule, the diaphragm being spaced apart from the ferrule to form a Fabry-Perot cavity. The cavity is formed by creating a pit in the ferrule or in the diaphragm. The components of the sensor are preferably welded together, preferably by laser welding. In some embodiments, the entire ferrule is bonded to the fiber along the entire length of the fiber within the ferrule; in other embodiments, only a portion of the ferrule is welded to the fiber. A partial vacuum is preferably formed in the pit. A small piece of optical fiber with a coefficient of thermal expansion chosen to compensate for mismatches between the main fiber and ferrule may be spliced to the end of the fiber.

摘要： A fiber optic sensor has a hollow tube bonded to the endface of an optical fiber, and a diaphragm bonded to the hollow tube. The fiber endface and diaphragm comprise an etalon cavity. The length of the etalon cavity changes when applied pressure or acceleration flexes the diaphragm. The entire structure can be made of fused silica. The fiber, tube, and diaphragm can be bonded with a fusion splice. The present sensor is particularly well suited for measuring pressure or acceleration in high temperature, high pressure and corrosive environments (e.g., oil well downholes and jet engines). The present sensors are also suitable for use in biological and medical applications.
