Humidity-insensitive temperature sensor based on a quartz capillary anti-resonant reflection optical waveguide.

A compact, humidity-insensitive, fiber optic temperature sensor based on a quartz capillary, antiresonant reflecting optical waveguide was proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The transmission spectral responses of the proposed sensor were experimentally investigated regarding temperature variation and environmental humidity. Resonant dips exhibited temperature sensitivity as large as 201 pm/°C from -30 to 45 °C in a humid environment. By coating a sufficiently thick gold film onto the sensor surface, the humidity cross-sensitivity issue was effectively resolved. This proposed sensor was anticipated to find potential applications in humid environments, and moreover, immunity to humidity-sensitivity ensures its applicability in marine environments.
