Abstract

Abstract:

Fiber optic devices and optical fiber sensors have been developed rapidly due to their light weight, small size, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and remote sensing capability. With the emergence of various types of fiber structures, the key is to develop optical fiber sensors with practical applications. This paper focuses on the experimental study of grating, microholes and micro-hole based long-period grating, fiber in-line MZI interferometers and FP interferometers, device based on selective liquid filling of photonic crystal fibers, micro/nano fiber device and microstructure integration. Their applications are discussed and potentials for the use in lab on/in fiber explored.
