This paper presents an overview of optical fiber sensors based on Fabry-Perot interferometers with a focus on high temperature applications. The next generation of these fiber types interferometers are based in photonic crystal fibers, microfabrication as well as by chemical etching of special structures. High temperature measurements with linear behavior are observed namely in un-doped fibers, i.e., with a pure silica composition. Three new configurations are presented as possible solutions to be considered in extreme conditions.
