Refractometry With a Tailored Sensitivity Based on a Single-Mode-Capillary-Single-Mode Fiber Structure

We demonstrate a simple structure for the refractive index sensing by splicing a segment of capillary with two segments of single-mode fibers (SMFs). By selecting appropriate splicing parameters, two mode coupling regions can be formed with tapered air-cavities on both sides of the capillary. This s...
