Mach-Zehnder Interferometer for High Temperature (1000 °C) Sensing Based on a Few-Mode Fiber

Abstract A Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) for high temperature (1000 °C) sensing based on few mode fiber (FMF) was proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The sensor was fabricated by fusing a section of FMF between two single-mode fibers (SMFs). The structure was proven to be an excellent high...
