Novel Compact and Low-Cost Ultraweak Fabry–Perot Interferometer as a Highly Sensitive Refractive Index Sensor

A novel compact refractive index (RI) sensor based on an ultra-weak intrinsic fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) is proposed and demonstrated, which is simply fabricated by splicing a tiny section of thin-core fiber to a single-mode fiber. Such an FPI exhibits an average RI sensitivity of 240dB/...
