Symmetrical Metal Cladding Waveguide for Absorption Sensing and its Sensitivity Analysis

A sensitivity analysis of absorption sensing based on the symmetrical metal-cladding waveguide is presented. The calculated reflectivity curve shows that any minute variation of the extinction coefficient due to absorption of the sample will easily give rise to a dramatic change in the minimum refle...
