Asymmetrically and symmetrically coated tapered optical fiber for sensing applications
The deposition of a non-metallic thin-film in a symmetrically coated tapered optical fiber leads to the generation of resonances due to guidance of a mode in the thin-film. At certain conditions, the resonances overlap ... -
A comparative study between SMS interferometers and lossy mode resonace optical fiber devices for sensing applications
Optical fiber sensors are of great interest due to their intrinsic advantages over electronic sensors. In this work, the sensing characteristics of two different and novel optical fiber devices are compared, after ... -
Deposition of an overlay with electrostactic self-assembly method in long period fiber gratings
It was proved that the deposition of an overlay material onto a long-period fiber grating causes important shifts in the wavelengths of the typical attenuation bands that are caused by coupling between cladding and core ... -
Enhancement of sensitivity in long period fiber gratings with deposition of low refractive index materials
It was proved [Opt. Lett. 30, 720 (2005)] that the deposition of an overlay of higher refractive index than that of the cladding on a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) causes large shifts in the attenuation bands induced by ... -
Etched and nanocoated SMS fiber sensor for detection of salinity concentration
An optical fibre refractometer has been developed by etching and deposition of a thin film of indium tin oxide (ITO) on a single-mode-multimode-single-mode (SMS) fibre structure. The interference between modes in this ... -
Fiber-optic immunosensor based on lossy mode resonances induced by indium tin oxide thin-films
A novel immunosensor based on lossy mode resonances (LMRs) induced in optical fibers is developed in this contribution. Indium tin oxide (ITO) is sputtered on the optical substrate to generate an LMR in the transmission ... -
Generation of lossy mode resonances in a broadband range with multilayer coated coverslips optimized for humidity sensing
Coverslips deposited with a metallic oxide can be employed for generating lossy mode resonances by lateral incidence of light on the coverslip. Here it is demonstrated that with copper oxide the fading observed with other ... -
Generation of lossy mode resonances in planar waveguides toward development of humidity sensors
Lossy mode resonances (LMRs) are typically obtained with optical fibre. The Kretschmann configuration is an alternative but LMRs are generated with angles approaching grazing incidence. In this work, a new setup is explored, ... -
Influence in cladding mode distribution of overlay deposition on long-period fiber gratings
A thin overlay of higher refractive index than that of the cladding of a long-period fiber grating induces in cladding modes strong variations in effective index, mode profile, cross-coupling coefficient with the core ... -
Nanofabrication of phase-shifted Bragg gratings on the end facet of multimode fiber towards development of optical filters and sensors
This work describes the process of nanofabrication of phase-shifted Bragg gratings on the end facet of a multimode optical fiber with a pulsed DC sputtering system based on a single target. Several structures have been ... -
Route towards a label-free optical waveguide sensing platform based on lossy mode resonances
According to recent market studies of the North American company Allied Market Research, the field of photonic sensors is an emerging strategic field for the following years and it is expected to garner $18 billion by ... -
Simultaneous generation of surface plasmon and lossy mode resonances in the same planar platform
A planar waveguide consisting of a coverslip for a microscope glass slide was deposited in one of its two faces with two materials: silver and indium tin oxide (ITO). The incidence of light by the edge of the coverslip ... -
Wavelength and intensity based lossy mode resonance breathing sensor
Copper oxide (CuO) allows the generation of lossy mode resonance (LMR) in a wide wavelength range of the optical spectrum, both in the visible and the near-infrared (NIR). For this, it is necessary to use a configuration ... -
