Distributed Refractive Index Sensing Based on Etched Ge-Doped SMF in Optical Frequency Domain Reflectometry

A distributed optical fiber refractive index sensor based on etched Ge-doped SMF in optical frequency domain reflection (OFDR) was proposed and demonstrated. The etched Ge-doped SMF was obtained by only using wet-etching, i.e., hydrofluoric acid solution. The distributed refractive index sensing is...
