Lateral Stress Sensor Based on an In-Fiber Mach–Zehnder Interferometer and Fourier Analysis

A novel lateral stress sensor based on a compact in-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and Fourier analysis is proposed and demonstrated. The in-fiber MZI is formed by cascading two offset splicing joints. The interference occurs between the copropagating fundamental core and cladding modes. Th...
