FIB-milled gold-coated singlemode-multimode-singlemode fiber tip refractometer

A compact singlemode-multimode-singlemode fiber tip (SMST) refractive index sensor is demonstrated. Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is exploited to have a clean fiber tip cut which is then coated by a layer of gold to increase reflection. An average sensitivity of 265 nm/RIU and a resolvable index ch...
