Popis: A simple, compact, and highly sensitive gas pressure sensor based on a Fabry–Perot interferometer (FPI) with a silicone rubber (SR) diaphragm is demonstrated. The SR diaphragm is fabricated on the tip of a silica tube using capillary action followed by spin coating. This process ensures uniformity of its inner surface along with reproducibility. A segment of single mode fiber (SMF) inserted into this tube forms the FPI which produces an interference pattern with good contrast. The sensor exhibits a high gas pressure sensitivity of −0.68 nm/kPa along with a low temperature cross-sensitivity of ≈ 1.1 kPa/°C.
