Sensitivity Improvement of an Optical Fiber Sensor Based on Surface Plasmon Resonance with Pure Higher-Order Modes

In this paper, we propose an approach to improve the sensitivity of an optical fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor with a pure higher-order mode excited by a designed mode selective coupler (MSC). We calculate the proportion of the power of the higher-order mode in the cladding. Compared to...
