High-Sensitivity Liquid Level Sensor Based on the Balloon-Shaped Fiber Optic MZI

We demonstrated a high-sensitivity liquid level sensor based on the balloon-shaped fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI). To make an optical fiber MZI sensor, a bare single mode fiber (SMF) is bent into a balloon shape. The sensor is attached to a stiff support and linked to a buoyancy ball floati...
