Simultaneous Measurement of Curvature and Temperature Based on Mach–Zehnder Interferometer Comprising Core-Offset and Spherical-Shape Structures

A novel sensor for simultaneous measurement of curvature and temperature based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is presented. The sensor consists of slight core-offset and spherical-shape structures. The core offset excites cladding modes, and the spherical shape couples the cladding modes b...
