Article Abstract
We present a novel optical fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor scheme using reflected guided cladding modes captured by a double-clad fiber coupler and excited in a gold-coated fiber with a tilted Bragg grating. This new interrogation approach, based on the reflection spectrum, provides an improvement in the operating range of the device over previous techniques. The device allows detection of SPR in the reflected guided cladding modes and also in the transmitted spectrum, allowing comparison with standard techniques. The sensor has a large operating range from 1.335 to 1.432 RIU, and a sensitivity of 510.5 nm/RIU. The device shows strong dependence on the polarization state of the guided core mode which can be used to turn the SPR on or off.

A sensor based on a U-shaped cascade core-offset structure is proposed for liquid level measurement. The cladding modes are more easily excited by the core-offset structures. The U-shaped structure leads to more energy leakage into the cladding, making the sensor more sensitive to changes in the external environment.

However, most of the research to date has focused on stripped single-mode fiber while the preservation of the coating can be highly relevant in practice, especially in harsh environments. In this paper, we use a femtosecond laser direct writing technique to inscribe a 12-degree tilted grating directly into a polyimide (PI)-coated single-mode fiber, where the PI coating keeps the fiber intact and robust.

To enhance the sensing performance of fiber-optic magnetic field sensors, we explored the design, optimization, and application prospects of a D-type fiber-optic magnetic field sensor. This D-type PCF-SPR sensor is metal coated on one side (the metal used in this study is gold), which serves as the active metal for SPR and enhances structural stability. Magnetic fluid is applied on the outer side of the gold film for SPR magnetic field sensing.

In this article, we have proposed a sensor capable of sensing and detecting various blood constituents within the terahertz frequency range. Our model has been constructed using COMSOL Multiphysics software, and we have analyzed the optical properties using the full vectorial finite-element method (FV-FEM). A solid core is chosen for the proposed sensor due to its unique ability to transmit light across a wide range of wavelengths.

Forward Brillouin scattering is an opto-mechanical effect in which two co-propagating optical fields couple with an acoustic mode in a common medium. The effect has been studied in standard optical fibers since 1985, however nearly all studies have been limited to the single optical mode regime. Forward Brillouin scattering in single-mode fibers takes place through two classes of acoustic modes only: purely radial ones and modes of two-fold azimuthal symmetry.
