A high-sensitivity optical fiber acoustic probe based on extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) is designed, fabricated, and analyzed. The sound sensitive diaphragm fabricated by silicone rubber exhibits excellent properties including good adhesion, high mechanical strength, flexibility, aging resistance, and biocompatibility. The acoustic pressure change introduces the periodic vibration of silicone rubber diaphragm, which causes the fluctuation of the output voltage. The FP cavity is formed by a cleaved end face of fiber and the silicone rubber diaphragm. The silicone rubber is prepared by a simple spin-dip method, which is easy to fabricate and suitable for mass production. A high acoustic pressure sensitivity and a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 387 mV/Pa and 48 dB at 1.5 kHz were obtained, respectively. The sensor is expected to be suitable for photoacoustic spectroscopy, week acoustic detections and biological application.
Using a YVO4/Nd:YVO4/YVO4 composite crystal end pumped by laser diode, we demonstrate the simultaneously Q-switched and mode-locked self-Raman laser at the firststokes wavelength of 1176.07 nm. Its corresponding linewidth was measured to approximately be 0.14 nm. At the pump power of 38 W and the pulse repetition frequency of 50 kHz, the maximum average output power at 1176 nm was obtained to be 1.34 W with the corresponding optical conversion efficiency of 3.6%. The highest pulse energy and the highest peak power were obtained to be 35 μJ and 10.5 kW, respectively. The shortest mode-locked pulse width of the laser was obtained to be ~300 ps with the corresponding repetition rate of mode-locked laser pulse is ~ 1.11 GHz

A 45° fiber cantilever beam for high temperature measurement was fabricated by femtosecond laser in single mode fiber. The temperature sensitivity is obtained to be about 17 pm/℃ at 800 ℃ and 1560 nm. The 45° fiber cantilever beam possesses good repeatability and stability in high temperature. The sensor is small in size, cheap and good stability.
