Miniature refractometer based on Mach–Zehnder interferometer with waist-enlarged fusion bitaper

A miniature refractometer by using a Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) in a standard single mode fiber (SMF) with two waist-enlarged fusion bitapers is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Such an all-fiber SMF-MZI incorporates an intermodal interference between the core mode and cladding modes...
