Drop-shaped single-mode microfiber with Sagnac loop based on coupling effect for refractive index sensing
A drop-shaped single-mode microfiber (SMMF) with Sagnac loop (SL) is formed by crossing and overlapping two transition regions of conical single-mode fiber (SMF). When the incident light passes through the overlapping region, the first coupling is generated. Then, two beams of light generated are transmitted in two opposite directions within SL. Subsequently, they re-enter the overlapping region for the second coupling. Finally, the coupled light is output from the transmission port. In the proposed sensing structure, the coupling effect of the overlapping region and the bending of the cone waist region enhance the response of sensor to the surrounding medium. Compared with the conical SMF based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), the maximum sensitivity of the designed sensor is improved by 2.89 times, reaching 6481.25 nm/RIU. Therefore, the designed sensor is beneficial for monitoring glucose concentrations in healthcare and food samples.
