A cost effective and simple fabrication process for Mach Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) fiber based sensor has been proposed based on single mode-multimode-single mode structure and multimode-single mode-multimode. These proposed structures employed a standard fusion arc splicing by varying the length of sensing region instead of the structures. This sensor has been experimentally demonstrated for three different concentration of solutions such as water, 1mol sucrose solution and oil with the refractive index of 1.333, 1.384 and 1.464 respectively. Furthermore, the intention of this experiment is to determine which structure that provides superior performance in terms of the sensitivity of the device. The operating wavelength of different structures corresponds to the different refractive index. It is observed that the shifting response was influenced by the length of the sensing-area and the best sensitivity achieved for is -10.45nm/RIU.

In this paper, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a simple technique to enhance the curvature sensitivity of a bending fiber optic sensor based on anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) guidance. The sensing structure is assembled by splicing a segment of capillary hollow-core fiber (CHCF) between two single-mode fibers (SMF), and the device is set on a steel sheet for measuring different curvatures. Without any surface treatment, the ARROW sensor exhibits a curvature sensitivity of 1.6 dB/m−1 in a curvature range from 0 to 2.14 m−1. By carefully coating half of the CHCF length with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), the curvature sensitivity of the ARROW sensor is enhanced to −5.62 dB/m−1, as well as an increment in the curvature range (from 0 to 2.68 m−1). Moreover, the covered device exhibits a low-temperature sensitivity (0.038 dB/°C), meaning that temperature fluctuations do not compromise the bending fiber optic sensor operation. The ARROW sensor fabricated with this technique has high sensitivity and a wide range for curvature measurements, with the advantage that the technique is cost-effective and easy to implement. All these features make this technique appealing for real sensing applications, such as structural health monitoring.

We report the fabrication of a novel fiber-optic sensor device, based on the use of a microsphere conformally coated with a thin layer of zinc oxide (ZnO) by atomic layer deposition (ALD), and its use as a refractive index sensor. The microsphere was prepared on the tip of a single-mode optical fiber, on which a conformal ZnO thin film of 200 nm was deposited using an ALD process based on diethyl zinc (DEZ) and water at 100 °C. The modified fiber-optic microsphere was examined using scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. Theoretical modeling has been carried out to assess the structure performance, and the performed experimental measurements carried out confirmed the enhanced sensing abilities when the microsphere was coated with a ZnO layer. The fabricated refractive index sensor was operating in a reflective mode of a Fabry–Pérot configuration, using a low coherent measurement system. The application of the ALD ZnO coating enabled for a better measurement of the refractive index of samples in the range of the refractive index allowed by the optical fiber. The proof-of-concept results presented in this work open prospects for the sensing community and will promote the use of fiber-optic sensing technologies.
