Abstract

The present invention discloses a residual pressure measurement system for a MEMS pressure sensor with an F-P cavity and method thereof, the measurement system includes a low-coherence light source, a 3 dB coupler, a MEMS pressure sensor, an air pressure chamber, a thermostat, a pressure control system, a cavity length demodulator, an acquisition card and a computer. The measurement method comprises: performing cavity length measurement by using the reflecting light by the pressure control system at two temperatures, respectively, so as to calibrate the MEMS pressure sensor and establish a relationship between the absolute phase of a monochromatic frequency and the external pressure; performing linear fitting to the two measurement data to obtain all the external pressure when the cavity length of two measurement data are equal to each other, and substituting the theoretical equation for calculation to obtain the residual pressure under the flat condition of the diaphragm.
