Excitation of Multi-Beam Interference and Whispering-Gallery Mode in Silica Taper-Assisted Polymer Microspheres for Refractometric Sensing

We propose and numerically analyze a fiber-optic sensor based on a silica taper-assisted multiple polymer microspheres to realize high-sensitivity refractometric sensing due to the excitation of multi-beam interference and whispering-gallery modes (WGMs) in each microsphere. Up to 5 UV-cured adhesiv...
