| description | Microfiber-to-slab sensor is comprised of a tapered fiber in evanescent contact with a multimode slab waveguide. The effects of the sensor configuration parameters on its evanescent wave sensitivity were investigated through theoretical analysis. On the basis of that, the rules for fabricating a microfiber-to-slab sensor with high device sensitivity were presented. By optimizing geometry parameters, it was shown that the resonant wavelength sensitivity can be as high as nearly 20000 nm/RIU. The conclusions derived from our work may be used for design and optimization of microfiber-to-slab devices for practical applications. |
