Cost-Effective Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Liquid Refractive Index Sensor Based on Conventional Polymer Strip Waveguide

We propose and demonstrate a cost-effective liquid refractive index (RI) sensor in polymer materials by employing a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) formed with the conventional strip waveguide. The proposed sensor can attain high sensitivity by choosing a suitable reference arm length to reduce op...
