Abstract

An extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) optical fiber hydrogen sensor based on palladium silver (Pd-Ag) film is designed for hydrogen leakage detection. A modified cross correlation signal processing method for an optical fiber EFPI hydrogen sensor is presented. As the applying of a special correlating factor which advises the effect on the fringe visibility of the gap length and wavelength, the cross correlation method has a high accuracy which is insensitive to light source power drift or changes in attenuation in the fiber, and the segment search method is employed to reduce computation and demodulating speed is fast. The Fabry-Perot gap length resolution of better than 0.2nm is achieved in a certain concentration of hydrogen.
