Resumen
Tin doped indium oxide (ITO) coatings fabricated onto D-shaped
optical fibers are presented as the supporting medium for Lossy Mode
Resonances (LMRs) generation. The characteristic geometry of ITO-coated
D-shaped optical fibers enables to observe experimentally LMRs obtained
with both TM and TE polarized light (LMRTM and LMRTE). This permits to
obtain a maximum transmission decay of 36 dB with a ...

Tin doped indium oxide (ITO) coatings fabricated onto D-shaped
optical fibers are presented as the supporting medium for Lossy Mode
Resonances (LMRs) generation. The characteristic geometry of ITO-coated
D-shaped optical fibers enables to observe experimentally LMRs obtained
with both TM and TE polarized light (LMRTM and LMRTE). This permits to
obtain a maximum transmission decay of 36 dB with a LMR spectral width
of 6.9 nm, improving that obtained in previous works, where the LMRs
were a combination of an LMRTM and an LMRTE. Surrounding medium
refractive index (SMRI) sensitivity characterization of LMRTM has been
performed obtaining a maximum sensitivity of 8742 nm/RIU in the range
1.365-1.38 refractive index units (RIU) which overcomes that of surface
plasmon resonance-based optical fiber devices presented in recent works. [--]
