Abstract
A novel intensity-modulated refractive index sensor based on an in-fiber Michelson interferometer is demonstrated by splicing a section of thin core fiber between two standard single mode fibers. Such a refractive index sensor exhibits an ultrahigh sensitivity of â208.24 and 125.44Â dB/RIU at the refractive index of 1.440 and 1.500, respectively. The refractive index sensor is insensitive to temperature and thus solves the cross-sensitivity problem between temperature and surrounding refractive index. Moreover, the promising RI sensor has the advantages of short size (less than 2Â mm) and easy fabrication.
