摘要
The optical fiber based on silicon materials has a smaller thermal expansion coefficient, therefore it can be used for the preparation of sensor devices which are insensitive to temperature but sensitive to refractive index, strain, stress, etc. For example, we can use optical fiber Fabry-Perot （F-P） sensor to achieve high sensitivity stress sensing. In this paper, we design an optical fiber F-P sensor with low cost and high sensitivity based on chemical etching method and analyze the stress sensing properties. Hydrofluoric acid is used to prepare the end face concave hole of the optical fiber first, and then the hollow struc-ture of the fiber F-P sensor is obtained by melting and discharge. This preparation method contributes greatly to enhancing the stress sensing properties and temperature insensitivity of the optical fiber device. The experimental results show that interference spectrum peak change is proportional to the stress change of optical fiber F-P sensor, stress sensitivity can reach 5. 2, and the cost is relatively low. Based on this,it has a certain application value in the stress sensing field.
