Abstract
This paper proposed an inexpensive high contrast in-line micro-cavity interferometer for edge-filter strain and temperature interrogation of a fiber Bragg grating sensor. The simulation model is presented in order to describe the sensor behavior which strongly agrees with the experimental results with a mean error lower than 0.04%. The results show evidences of high repeatability and stability achieved in measurements of strain and temperature from 0-1440 µStrain and 5ºC to 50ºC, respectively.
