Bend monitoring and refractive index sensing using flat fibre and multicore bragg gratings

A planarized optical fibre designed for two-dimensional bend monitoring and external refractive index sensing is presented. The approach uses two single-mode waveguides each containing a set of spectrally multiplexed Bragg gratings. To achieve sensitivity to bending and external refractive index, th...
