  • Experimental measurement of interference fringe shifts in response to varying salinity levels.
  • Systematic variation of air-gap lengths and PI diaphragm dimensions.
  • Analysis of sensor sensitivity and temperature cross-sensitivity.

    • Main Results:

    • The sensor demonstrated a red shift in interference fringes with increasing water salinity due to PI diaphragm shrinkage.
    • A maximum sensitivity of 0.45 nm/(mol/L) was achieved for salinity changes from 0 to 5.47 mol/L.
    • Reduced air-gap cavity length was found to enhance sensor sensitivity.
    • Optimized air cavity and PI diaphragm lengths mitigated temperature cross-sensitivity.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed fiber FP salinity sensor based on a PI diaphragm is a robust and ultra-compact device.
    • The sensor is easy to fabricate, requires no alignment, and is suitable for real-time salinity sensing.
    • The design shows potential for improved sensitivity and reduced cross-sensitivity, making it viable for practical applications.
