Resumen
By coating a single-mode–multimode–single-mode (SMS)
structure with a high refractive index thin-film it is possible to obtain a
transition of modes for specific combinations of thin-film thickness, thinfilm
refractive index and surrounding medium refractive index, which
permits to develop devices with a high sensitivity to specific parameters. In
order to gain a better knowledge of the phen ...

By coating a single-mode–multimode–single-mode (SMS)
structure with a high refractive index thin-film it is possible to obtain a
transition of modes for specific combinations of thin-film thickness, thinfilm
refractive index and surrounding medium refractive index, which
permits to develop devices with a high sensitivity to specific parameters. In
order to gain a better knowledge of the phenomenon the experimental
results are corroborated numerically with the Transfer-Matrix-Method. The
influence of losses in the thin-film has also been studied. The results
obtained prove that a thin-film coated SMS structure is a simple and costeffective
platform for development of sensors and optical filters. [--]
