Abstract
Fiber probe structures composed of two physical microcavities were created using focused ion beam technology. These structures have a tip-like shape as they were milled in preciously etched tapered fiber tips. The microprobes are then characterized for temperature and refractive index sensing using a signal filtering technique to discriminate signals from distinct microcavities. Using fast Fourier transforms combined with band-pass filters, it is possible to reconstruct the spectra of each cavity independently and thus measure their individual spectral shifts.
