Broad-Band Difference Interferometer
Thanks to researches and the development of integrated optics devices for optical applications in the telecommunications, relatively cheap sources and detectors of optical radiation that can be used in the design of planar optical sensors [1, 2]. One of the commonly used sensor systems is the differential interferometer, based on planar waveguides [3]. In the analyzed system propagates a mode f...
متن کاملRefractive index sensor using microfiber-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
A simple and robust refractive index (RI) sensor based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer has been demonstrated. A section of optical microfiber drawn from silica fiber is employed as the sensing arm. Because of the evanescent field, a slight change of the ambient RI will lead to the variation of the microfiber propagation constant, which will further change the optical length. In order to compen...
متن کاملAnalytical Modelling of a Refractive Index Sensor Based on an Intrinsic Micro Fabry-Perot Interferometer
In this work a refractive index sensor based on a combination of the non-dispersive sensing (NDS) and the Tunable Laser Spectroscopy (TLS) principles is presented. Here, in order to have one reference and one measurement channel a single-beam dual-path configuration is used for implementing the NDS principle. These channels are monitored with a couple of identical optical detectors which are co...
متن کاملMach-Zehnder Interferometer Refractive Index Sensor Based on a Plasmonic Channel Waveguide
A Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on a plasmonic channel waveguide is proposed for refractive index sensing. The structure, with a small physical footprint of 20 × 120 μm², achieved a high figure of merit of 294. The cut-off frequency behaviour in the plasmonic channel waveguide resulted in a flat dispersion curve, which induces a 1.8 times larger change of the propagation constant for the gi...
متن کاملRefractive index sensor based on an abrupt taper Michelson interferometer in a single-mode fiber.
A simple refractive index sensor based on a Michelson interferometer in a single-mode fiber is constructed and demonstrated. The sensor consists of a single symmetrically abrupt taper region in a short piece of single-mode fiber that is terminated by approximately 500 nm thick gold coating. The sensitivity of the new sensor is similar to that of a long-period-grating-type sensor, and its ease o...
