In-Fiber Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Based on Three-Core Fiber for Measurement of Directional Bending

A highly sensitive directional bending sensor based on a three-core fiber (TCF) Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) is presented in this study. This MZI-based bending sensor was fabricated by fusion-splicing a section of TCF between two single-mode fibers (SMF) with core-offset. Due to the location of...
