Side-Polished DBR Fiber Laser with Enhanced Sensitivity for Axial Force and Refractive Index Measurement

A highly sensitive optical fiber sensor for the measurement of axial force and refractive index (RI) is presented. The optical sensor consists of a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) based fiber laser, the laser cavity of the DBR is polished to D-shape by the wheel fiber polishing system. Birefringen...
