High Sensitivity Optical Fiber Mach–Zehnder Refractive Index Sensor Based on Waist-Enlarged Bitaper

A Mach–Zehnder fiber optic sensor with high refractive index response sensitivity was developed. By fabricating a waist-enlarged bitaper structure on the interference arm of a single mode–multimode–single mode (SMS) Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI), the spectral contrast and response sensitivity we...
