Abstract: Optical fibers are promising components for developing integrated devices due to their small cross section, long-distance propagation, easy integration of functional units and materials. The lab-on-fiber concept has received much attention in the field of fiber integrated optics. This article introduces surface core fibers (both exterior and interior surfaces) with strong evanescent waves. Optical properties of surface core fibers and the corresponding sensing applications are investigated. These fiber devices can be easily fabricated, and have important applications in biosensing and chemical detection.

Key words: surface core fiber, fiber grating, microstructured fiber, interferometer
