Highly Sensitive Sensors Based on Photonic Crystal Fiber Modal Interferometers
Figure 5
Predicted period of the interferometers at 1550 nm as a function of the diameter of the micro tapers for different lengths of their waist. The inset shows the experimental transmission spectrum of a 5 m-thick taper in which the average fringe separation is 1.4 nm and the width of the fringes is around 0.9 nm.
