Sensing with microstructured optical fibres

Abstract: The optical and geometrical properties of microstructured optical fibres present new alternatives for a range of sensing applications. We present the design criteria for achieving significant overlap between the light guided in the fibre and the air holes and hence for producing efficient evanescent field devices. In addition, the novel dispersive properties combined with the tight mode confinement possible in holey fibres make ultra-broadband single-mode sources and new source wavelengths a possibility.

“…The first is an exposed-core microstructured optical fibers (ECF) that has a suspended micron-scale core partially exposed to the external environment [21][22] ( Figure 2, left), which allows consistent washing, drying and refilling of the biosensor during its use. The second type of fiber has air holes within its cross section and is known as a suspended-core microstructured optical fibers (SCF), 23 see Figure 2 right. These air holes confine light to the solid core and allow it to be guided along the length of the fiber.…”

“…Now d/= 0.95 is selected as an optimized value for the further investigation process. The micro-structured core PCFs help gain higher relative sensitivity and alleviate confinement loss [36]. Besides, it can be analyzed that the relative sensitivity is promoted with the enhancement of air holes diameter in the core region and decrement of pitch Λ c [30].…”
