Optimization of a Fabry-Perot Sensing Interferometer design for an optical fiber sensor of hematocrit level

Continuous measurement of the hemato crit level in blo o d can p otentially b e p erformed using optical bre sensors. The FabryPerot interferometric sensors are a promising candidate in this application. The most imp ortant step in the design of the sensor is design of the sensing interferometer. Adequate cavity length and high interference contrast are two most imp ortant requirements in this application. The design metho d of the sensing interferometer presented in this pap er uses a Gaussian b eam approximation. In order to verify the design, an optical bre Fabry Perot interferometer with adjustable cavity length was built. Its p erformance was tested, conrming validity of the design approach.
