Abstract
A fiber-optic Fabry-Perot hydrogen sensor was developed by measuring the fringe contrast changes at different hydrogen concentrations. The experimental results indicated that the sensing performance with the Pd-Y film was better than that with the Pd film. A fringe contrast with a decrease of 0.5 dB was detected with a hydrogen concentration change from 0% to 5.5%. The temperature response of the sensor was also measured.
