Highly Sensitive Sensors Based on Photonic Crystal Fiber Modal Interferometers
Figure 3
Micrograph of the cross-section of the typical PCF employed to build interferometers with LPGs. Diagrams of interferometers based on two LPGs in series, a misaligned point end together with an LPG, and an LPG together with a collapsed region in the PCF. The separation between the splitting gratings and recombining element is denoted by
