Refractive Index Measurement Based on Thin-Core Fiber In-Line Mach-Zehnder Interferometer and Differential Intensity Demodulation

A compact and reliable thin-core fiber (TCF) based in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometric (MZI) sensor for refractive index (RI) measurement is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. A section of TCF is sandwiched between a multi-mode fiber (MMF) and a single-mode fiber (SMF) to form the sensing he...
