Refractive Index Sensing by Using Mechanically Induced Long-Period Grating

In this paper, a refractive index sensor using a mechanically induced long-period grating is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The sensing element is based on a composite optical waveguide, which is made of a single-mode fiber, a Teflon-cannula, and the medium pending to test. The research s...
